Affine-regular polygon properties of regular polygons are invariant under affine transformations, and affine-regular polygons share the same properties. For instance, an affine-regular quadrilateral can be equidissected into formula_1 equal-area triangles if and only if formula_1 is even, by affine invariance of equidissection and Monsky's theorem on equidissections of squares. More generally an formula_3-gon with formula_4 may be equidissected into formula_1 equal-area triangles if and only if formula_1 is a multiple of formula_3. Affine-regular polygon In geometry, an affine-regular polygon or affinely regular polygon is a polygon that is related to a regular polygon by an affine transformation. Affine transformations include translations, uniform
Euclidean tilings by convex regular polygons Euclidean tilings by convex regular polygons Euclidean plane tilings by convex regular polygons have been widely used since antiquity. The first systematic mathematical treatment was that of Kepler in his "Harmonices Mundi" (Latin: "The Harmony of the World", 1619). Following Grünbaum and Shephard (section 1.3), a tiling is said to be "regular" if the symmetry group of the tiling acts transitively on the "flags" of the tiling, where a flag is a triple consisting of a mutually incident vertex, edge and tile of the tiling. This means that, for every pair of flags, there is a symmetry operation mapping the
