An irregular polygon is everything a regular polygon isn't.

A regular polygon is a polygon with all its sides equal, and in Euclidean Geometry, this means all its angles will be equal as well.

Niels Hendrik Abel proved that polygons of sides 17, 257, 65537 (i.e. Fermat numbers when these are prime) are constructible with straight edge and compasses, i.e. Euclidean methods.

A regular polygon is a 2-dimensional closed shape bounded by straight sides such that all the sides are of the same length and all the angles in the polygon are of the same measure. An irregular polygon is one in which at least one side is of a different length from the others or at least one angle is different to the others.
