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
Vertex (geometry) Vertex (geometry) In geometry, a vertex (plural: vertices or vertexes) is a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet. As a consequence of this definition, the point where two lines meet to form an angle and the corners of polygons and polyhedra are vertices. The "vertex" of an angle is the point where two rays begin or meet, where two line segments join or meet, where two lines intersect (cross), or any appropriate combination of rays, segments and lines that result in two straight "sides" meeting at one place. A vertex is a corner point of a
