What are the similarities between regular polygon and a concave polygon?
A regular polygon is a special kind of convex polygon - one in which all the sides are of the same length and all the angles are equal. Convex and concave polygons form disjoint sets: so no concave polygon can be regular.
When is a rectangle a regular polygon?
A regular polygon is a polygon in which all sides and angles are congruent, so a rectangle is a regular polygon when it is a square: when all sides are equal.
What is a polygon that has equal angles called?
There is no special name for that. However, if the sides are also equal, it is called a regular polygon.
Is a rhombus a irregular polygon or a regular polygon?
It is a regular polygon no doubt about it.* * * * *There is no doubt that the above answer is totally incorrect.A regular polygon must have all its sides as well as all its angles equal. The second condition is not satisfied and so a rhombus is nota regular polygon.
The angle at the centre of a regular polygon is 72 degrees how many sides has the polygon?
360 ÷ 72 = 5, so that the regular polygon is a pentagon (a five-sided polygon).

What do the mathematics call a regular polygon with eight sides?
A polygon with eight sides, regular or not, is an octagon. There isn't a special name for a regular octagon (other than "regular octagon").
What is special about regular polygon?
All the sides are the same length
What is special about a regular polygons?
A regular polygon has all sides equal and all angles equal.
What is a polygon that has equal angles called?
There is no special name for that. However, if the sides are also equal, it is called a regular polygon.
What is an example of an equilateral polygon?
An equilateral polygon is one in which all sides are congruent. The angles may or may not be congruent. The simplest example is an equilateral triangle which must also be equiangular and so is a regular polygon. A rhombus is an equilateral quadrangle. The rhombus, in general, is not regular - only the square (a special type of rhombus) is regular.

Is a hexagon a regular polygon or not a regular polygon?
A 6 sided hexagon polygon can be regular or irregular.
If the midpoint of successive sides of a regular polygon are joined a smaller regular polygon is formed Find a polygon of such number of sides so that the area is half that of the larger?
The polygon is a Quadrilateral.
What special name is given to a regular polygon with 9 sides?
It is a regular 9-sided nonagon.
