Equiangular polygon

The only equiangular triangle is the equilateral triangle. Rectangles, including the square, are the only equiangular quadrilaterals (four-sided figures).[1]

For a convex equiangular n-gon each internal angle is 180(1-2/n)°; this is the equiangular polygon theorem.

Viviani's theorem holds for equiangular polygons:[2]

The sum of distances from an interior point to the sides of an equiangular polygon does not depend on the location of the point, and is that polygon's invariant.

A rectangle (equiangular quadrilateral) with integer side lengths may be tiled by unit squares, and an equiangular hexagon with integer side lengths may be tiled by unit equilateral triangles. Some but not all equilateral dodecagons may be tiled by a combination of unit squares and equilateral triangles; the rest may be tiled by these two shapes together with rhombi with 30 and 150 degree angles.[1]

A cyclic polygon is equiangular if and only if the alternate sides are equal (that is, sides 1, 3, 5, ... are equal and sides 2, 4, ... are equal). Thus if n is odd, a cyclic polygon is equiangular if and only if it is regular.[3]

For prime p, every integer-sided equiangular p-gon is regular. Moreover, every integer-sided equiangular p^k-gon has p-fold rotational symmetry.[4]

An ordered set of side lengths ${\displaystyle (a_{1},\dots ,a_{n})}$ gives rise to an equiangular n-gon if and only if either of two equivalent conditions holds for the polynomial ${\displaystyle a_{1}+a_{2}x+\cdots +a_{n-1}x^{n-2}+a_{n}x^{n-1}:}$ it equals zero at the complex value ${\displaystyle e^{2\pi i/n};}$ it is divisible by ${\displaystyle x^{2}-2x\cos(2\pi /n)+1.}$[5]
