Spirolateral, the Glossary
In Euclidean geometry, a spirolateral is a polygon created by a sequence of fixed vertex internal angles and sequential edge lengths 1,2,3,...,n which repeat until the figure closes.[1]

- Types of polygons
Archimedean spiral
The Archimedean spiral (also known as Archimedes' spiral, the arithmetic spiral) is a spiral named after the 3rd-century BC Greek mathematician Archimedes.
See Spirolateral and Archimedean spiral
Decagon
In geometry, a decagon (from the Greek δέκα déka and γωνία gonía, "ten angles") is a ten-sided polygon or 10-gon.
Decagram (geometry)
In geometry, a decagram is a 10-point star polygon.
See Spirolateral and Decagram (geometry)
Density (polytope)
In geometry, the density of a star polyhedron is a generalization of the concept of winding number from two dimensions to higher dimensions, representing the number of windings of the polyhedron around the center of symmetry of the polyhedron.
See Spirolateral and Density (polytope)
Divisor
In mathematics, a divisor of an integer n, also called a factor of n, is an integer m that may be multiplied by some integer to produce n. In this case, one also says that n is a multiple of m. An integer n is divisible or evenly divisible by another integer m if m is a divisor of n; this implies dividing n by m leaves no remainder.
Dodecagon
In geometry, a dodecagon, or 12-gon, is any twelve-sided polygon.
See Spirolateral and Dodecagon
Enneagram (geometry)
In geometry, an enneagram (🟙 U+1F7D9) is a nine-pointed plane figure.
See Spirolateral and Enneagram (geometry)
Equiangular polygon
In Euclidean geometry, an equiangular polygon is a polygon whose vertex angles are equal. Spirolateral and equiangular polygon are types of polygons.
See Spirolateral and Equiangular polygon
Equilateral triangle
In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length.
See Spirolateral and Equilateral triangle
Euclidean geometry
Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry, Elements.
See Spirolateral and Euclidean geometry
Golygon
A golygon, or more generally a serial isogon of 90°, is any polygon with all right angles (a rectilinear polygon) whose sides are consecutive integer lengths. Spirolateral and golygon are types of polygons.
Graph paper
Graph paper, coordinate paper, grid paper, or squared paper is writing paper that is printed with fine lines making up a regular grid.
See Spirolateral and Graph paper
Greatest common divisor
In mathematics, the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two or more integers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers.
See Spirolateral and Greatest common divisor
Hendecagon
In geometry, a hendecagon (also undecagon or endecagon) or 11-gon is an eleven-sided polygon.
See Spirolateral and Hendecagon
Hendecagram
In geometry, a hendecagram (also endecagram or endekagram) is a star polygon that has eleven vertices.
See Spirolateral and Hendecagram
Heptagon
In geometry, a heptagon or septagon is a seven-sided polygon or 7-gon.
Heptagram
A heptagram, septagram, septegram or septogram is a seven-point star drawn with seven straight strokes.
See Spirolateral and Heptagram
Hexagon
In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ, hex, meaning "six", and γωνία, gonía, meaning "corner, angle") is a six-sided polygon.
Icositetragon
In geometry, an icositetragon (or icosikaitetragon) or 24-gon is a twenty-four-sided polygon.
See Spirolateral and Icositetragon
Internal and external angles
In geometry, an angle of a polygon is formed by two adjacent sides.
See Spirolateral and Internal and external angles
Isogonal figure
In geometry, a polytope (e.g. a polygon or polyhedron) or a tiling is isogonal or vertex-transitive if all its vertices are equivalent under the symmetries of the figure.
See Spirolateral and Isogonal figure
Martin Gardner
Martin Gardner (October 21, 1914May 22, 2010) was an American popular mathematics and popular science writer with interests also encompassing magic, scientific skepticism, micromagic, philosophy, religion, and literatureespecially the writings of Lewis Carroll, L. Frank Baum, and G. K. Chesterton.

Multiple (mathematics)
In mathematics, a multiple is the product of any quantity and an integer.
See Spirolateral and Multiple (mathematics)
Nonagon
In geometry, a nonagon or enneagon is a nine-sided polygon or 9-gon.
Octagon
In geometry, an octagon is an eight-sided polygon or 8-gon.
Octagram
In geometry, an octagram is an eight-angled star polygon.
Pentagon
In geometry, a pentagon is any five-sided polygon or 5-gon.
Pentagram
A pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha, pentangle, or star pentagon) is a regular five-pointed star polygon, formed from the diagonal line segments of a convex (or simple, or non-self-intersecting) regular pentagon.
See Spirolateral and Pentagram
Polygon
In geometry, a polygon is a plane figure made up of line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain.
Rational number
In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers, a numerator and a non-zero denominator.
See Spirolateral and Rational number
Rectangle
In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.
See Spirolateral and Rectangle
Regular polygon
In Euclidean geometry, a regular polygon is a polygon that is direct equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). Spirolateral and regular polygon are types of polygons.
See Spirolateral and Regular polygon
Simple polygon
In geometry, a simple polygon is a polygon that does not intersect itself and has no holes. Spirolateral and simple polygon are types of polygons.
See Spirolateral and Simple polygon
Special case
In logic, especially as applied in mathematics, concept is a special case or specialization of concept precisely if every instance of is also an instance of but not vice versa, or equivalently, if is a generalization of.
See Spirolateral and Special case
Square
In Euclidean geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral, which means that it has four sides of equal length and four equal angles (90-degree angles, π/2 radian angles, or right angles).
Star polygon
In geometry, a star polygon is a type of non-convex polygon.
See Spirolateral and Star polygon
Turn (angle)
The turn (symbol tr or pla) is a unit of plane angle measurement that is the angular measure subtended by a complete circle at its center.
See Spirolateral and Turn (angle)
Turtle graphics
In computer graphics, turtle graphics are vector graphics using a relative cursor (the "turtle") upon a Cartesian plane (x and y axis).
