Is a triangle a small regular polygon?
A regular polygon is any polygon that has sides which are the same length and angles whose measures are equal. An equilateral triangle (also equiangular triangle) is a regular polygon. Other isosceles triangles (equilateral triangles are isosceles, but they are an exception) and scalene triangles are not regular polygons. A side note: Only in a triangle is a polygon regular solely if it is equilateral. (Since an equilateral triangle is equiangular as well). This is NOT always true in other polygons, like quadrilaterals, where it can be equilateral but not necessarily equiangular (a rhombus) or equiangular but not equilateral (a rectangle).
Is a regular polygon always equiangular?
Yes, a regular polygon is always equiangular.
What figures is not always equilateral square rhombus or rectangle?
A rectangle is not always equilateral, although it is always equiangular. A rhombus is not always equiangular, but is always equilateral. A square is both equilateral and equiangular.
What is the difference between an equiangular polygon and a regular polygon?
The term regular polygon is almost always used to refer to a polygon that has equal interior angles and equal side lengths. In that light, the equiangular polygon and a regular polygon are the same thing.
What polygon is always regular?
Squares, rhombera, and equilateral triangles are always regular.
