Regular polygon common angle is a constructible number—that is, can be written in terms of the four basic arithmetic operations and the extraction of square roots. A "regular skew polygon" in 3-space can be seen as nonplanar paths zig-zagging between two parallel planes, defined as the side-edges of a uniform antiprism. All edges and internal angles are equal. More generally "regular skew polygons" can be defined in "n"-space. Examples include the Petrie polygons, polygonal paths of edges that divide a regular polytope into two halves, and seen as a regular polygon in orthogonal projection. In the infinite limit "regular skew polygons" become
Hyperbolic geometry to tessellate the hyperbolic plane with regular polygons as faces. There are an infinite number of uniform tilings based on the Schwarz triangles (p q r) where 1/p + 1/q + 1/r < 1, where p,q,r are each orders of reflection symmetry at three points of the fundamental domain triangle, the symmetry group is a hyperbolic triangle group. There are also infinitely many uniform tilings that cannot be generated from Schwarz triangles, some for example requiring quadrilaterals as fundamental domains. Though hyperbolic geometry applies for any surface with a constant negative Gaussian curvature, it is usual to assume a scale
