equiangular polygon
A polygon![]()
is equiangular if all of its interior angles
![]()
are congruent.
Common examples of equiangular polygons are rectangles![]()
and regular polygons
![]()
such as equilateral triangles
![]()
and squares.
Let be a triangle![]()
in Euclidean geometry
![]()
, hyperbolic geometry, or spherical geometry. Then the following are equivalent
![]()
:
-
•
is equilateral;
-
•
is equiangular;
-
•
is regular
.
If is allowed to be a polygon that has more than three sides, then the above statement is no longer true in any of the indicated geometries![]()
.
Below are some pictures of equiangular polygons drawn in Euclidean geometry that are not equilateral.
