Octadecagon

In geometry, an octadecagon (or octakaidecagon) or 18-gon is an eighteen-sided polygon. In geometry, an octadecagon (or octakaidecagon) or 18-gon is an eighteen-sided polygon. A regular octadecagon has a Schläfli symbol {18} and can be constructed as a quasiregular truncated enneagon, t{9}, which alternates two types of edges. As 18 = 2 × 32, a regular octadecagon cannot be constructed using a compass and straightedge. However, it is constructible using neusis, or an angle trisection with a tomahawk.
