The mean triangle area of a triangle picked inside a regular hexagon with unit area is A^_=289/3888 (Woolhouse 1867, Pfiefer 1989). This is a special case of a general ...

A rotor is a convex figure that can be rotated inside a polygon (or polyhedron) while always touching every side (or face). The least area rotor in a square is the Reuleaux ...

The regular hendecagon is the regular polygon with 11 sides, as illustrated above, and has Schläfli symbol {11}. The regular hendecagon cannot be constructed using the ...

Given a point P in the interior of a triangle DeltaA_1A_2A_3, draw the cevians through P from each polygon vertex which meet the opposite sides at P_1, P_2, and P_3. Now, ...

A knot equivalent to a polygon in R^3, also called a tame knot. For a polygonal knot K, there exists a plane such that the orthogonal projection pi on it satisfies the ...

Let CD be the altitude of a triangle DeltaABC and let E be its midpoint. Then area(DeltaABC)=1/2AB·CD=AB·DE, and ABFG can be squared by rectangle squaring. The general ...

Let a convex cyclic polygon be triangulated in any manner, and draw the incircle to each triangle so constructed. Then the sum of the inradii is a constant independent of the ...

Geometry is the study of figures in a space of a given number of dimensions and of a given type. The most common types of geometry are plane geometry (dealing with objects ...

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel (and therefore opposite angles equal). A quadrilateral with equal sides is called a rhombus, and a ...

The regular polygon of 17 sides is called the heptadecagon, or sometimes the heptakaidecagon. Gauss proved in 1796 (when he was 19 years old) that the heptadecagon is ...
