Similarity (geometry) similar polygons, corresponding sides taken in the same sequence (even if clockwise for one polygon and counterclockwise for the other) are proportional and corresponding angles taken in the same sequence are equal in measure. However, proportionality of corresponding sides is not by itself sufficient to prove similarity for polygons beyond triangles (otherwise, for example, all rhombi would be similar). Likewise, equality of all angles in sequence is not sufficient to guarantee similarity (otherwise all rectangles would be similar). A sufficient condition for similarity of polygons is that corresponding sides and diagonals are proportional. For given "n", all regular "n"-gons are
Regular polytope the vertex figure. Unlike the case for Euclidean polytopes, an abstract polytope with regular facets and vertex figures "may or may not" be regular itself – for example, the square pyramid, all of whose facets and vertex figures are regular abstract polygons. The classical vertex figure will, however, be a realisation of the abstract one. The traditional way to construct a regular polygon, or indeed any other figure on the plane, is by compass and straightedge. Constructing some regular polygons in this way is very simple (the easiest is perhaps the equilateral triangle), some are more complex, and some are
