... Since triangle A3A2A1 is isosceles and angle A3A2A1 is 108 degrees by being an angle of a regular pentagon, angles A2A1A3 and A2A3A1 are equal to (180 - 108) / 2 = 36 degrees. Since angle A4A3A2 is equal to 108 degrees and angle A2A3A1 is equal to 36 degrees, angle A4A3A1 is equal to 108 - 36 = 72 d ...

Poincaré`s Disk Model for Hyperbolic Geometry
... We need a model to see what H 2 looks like. We know that it will not be easy, but we do not want some extremely difficult model to construct. We will work with a small subset of the plane, but give it a different way of measuring distance. There are three traditional models for H 2 . They are known ...

11.1 Angle Measures in Polygons
... In lesson 6.1, you found the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadrilateral by dividing the quadrilateral into two triangles. You can use this triangle method to find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of any convex polygon with n sides, called an n-gon.(Okay – n-gon means ...

... If T1 is “breakable” at cell k − 1, which can happen fk−1 fn−k ways, then we have found a tiling of length k − 1. We would then look for a tiling of length k − 2, starting with tiling T2 . Otherwise, T1 is breakable at cell k − 2, followed by a domino (which happens fk−2 fn−k−1 ways. Here, we “throw ...

List of regular polytopes and compounds
This page lists the regular polytopes and regular polytope compounds in Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces.The Schläfli symbol describes every regular tessellation of an n-sphere, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces. A Schläfli symbol describing an n-polytope equivalently describes a tessellation of a (n-1)-sphere. In addition, the symmetry of a regular polytope or tessellation is expressed as a Coxeter group, which Coxeter expressed identically to the Schläfli symbol, except delimiting by square brackets, a notation that is called Coxeter notation. Another related symbol is the Coxeter-Dynkin diagram which represents a symmetry group with no rings, and the represents regular polytope or tessellation with a ring on the first node. For example the cube has Schläfli symbol {4,3}, and with its octahedral symmetry, [4,3] or File:CDel node.pngFile:CDel 4.pngFile:CDel node.pngFile:CDel 3.pngFile:CDel node.png, is represented by Coxeter diagram File:CDel node 1.pngFile:CDel 4.pngFile:CDel node.pngFile:CDel 3.pngFile:CDel node.png.The regular polytopes are grouped by dimension and subgrouped by convex, nonconvex and infinite forms. Nonconvex forms use the same vertices as the convex forms, but have intersecting facets. Infinite forms tessellate a one-lower-dimensional Euclidean space.Infinite forms can be extended to tessellate a hyperbolic space. Hyperbolic space is like normal space at a small scale, but parallel lines diverge at a distance. This allows vertex figures to have negative angle defects, like making a vertex with seven equilateral triangles and allowing it to lie flat. It cannot be done in a regular plane, but can be at the right scale of a hyperbolic plane.A more general definition of regular polytopes which do not have simple Schläfli symbols includes regular skew polytopes and regular skew apeirotopes with nonplanar facets or vertex figures.
