Equiangular polygon


In Euclidean geometry, an equiangular polygon is a polygon whose vertex angles are equal. If the lengths of the sides are also equal then it is a regular polygon. Isogonal polygons are equiangular polygons which alternate two edge lengths.

Properties

The only equiangular triangle is the equilateral triangle. Rectangles, including the square, are the only equiangular quadrilaterals.
For a convex equiangular n-gon each internal angle is 180°; this is the equiangular polygon theorem.
Viviani's theorem holds for equiangular polygons:
A rectangle with integer side lengths may be tiled by unit squares, and an equiangular hexagon with integer side lengths may be tiled by unit equilateral triangles. Some but not all equilateral dodecagons may be tiled by a combination of unit squares and equilateral triangles; the rest may be tiled by these two shapes together with rhombi with 30 and 150 degree angles.
A cyclic polygon is equiangular if and only if the alternate sides are equal. Thus if n is odd, a cyclic polygon is equiangular if and only if it is regular.
For prime p, every integer-sided equiangular p-gon is regular. Moreover, every integer-sided equiangular pk-gon has p-fold rotational symmetry.
An ordered set of side lengths gives rise to an equiangular n-gon if and only if either of two equivalent conditions holds for the polynomial it equals zero at the complex value it is divisible by
