Regular polygon is denoted by its Schläfli symbol {"n"}. For "n" < 3, we have two degenerate cases: In certain contexts all the polygons considered will be regular. In such circumstances it is customary to drop the prefix regular. For instance, all the faces of uniform polyhedra must be regular and the faces will be described simply as triangle, square, pentagon, etc. For a regular convex "n"-gon, each interior angle has a measure of: and each exterior angle (i.e., supplementary to the interior angle) has a measure of formula_5 degrees, with the sum of the exterior angles equal to 360 degrees or
Regular polytope providing a technique that allows the abstract regular polytope to be constructed from its symmetry group in a standard and straightforward manner. For examples of polygons in nature, see: Each of the Platonic solids occurs naturally in one form or another: Regular polytope In mathematics, a regular polytope is a polytope whose symmetry group acts transitively on its flags, thus giving it the highest degree of symmetry. All its elements or "j"-faces (for all 0 ≤ "j" ≤ "n", where "n" is the dimension of the polytope) — cells, faces and so on — are also transitive on the symmetries
