All you can say about it is that it's "equiangular" ... a big word that means all of
its angles measure the same size.
At first, one might think that a polygon with all angles equal is "regular" ... that if
all of its angles are equal, then its sides must also be all of the same length. But
that's only true of a triangle, and doesn't hold for polygons with more than three
sides. Example: A rectangle has all angles equal, but not its sides.

An angle with measure equal to 90?
An angle with measure equal to 90 is called a right angle.
If the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 176 what is the number of sides of the polygon?
The equation for finding the interior angle measures of a regular n-gon is (n-2)*180/n. Thus, if this is set equal to 176 and solved for n, n is found to be 90. Therefore, a regular polygon with each interior angle measure equal to 176, has 90 sides.
Why can't a trapezoid be a regular polygon?
A regular polygon is a polygon in which all sides are of the same length and all angle are of the same measure. A trapezoid (trapezium to most people) is a four sided polygon or a quadrilateral. If its sides and angles were all equal, the quadrilateral would have to be a square.
What is the angle sum for an 20 sided polygon?
The angle sum of a polygon is always 360 degrees. If all angles are equal, then each angle is 18 degrees. Simply divide 360 by 20.
What is a polygon with 6 equal sides called?
A polygon with 6 equal sides is called a regular hexagon.
