EQUIANGULAR POLYGON
In Euclidean geometry, an 'equiangular polygon' is a polygon whose vertex angles are equal. If the lengths of the sides are also equal then it is a regular polygon.
The only equiangular triangle is the equilateral triangle. Rectangles, including the square, are the only equiangular four-sided figures.
For an equiangular n-gon each angle is 180° - 360°/n; this is the ''equiangular polygon theorem''.
Viviani's Theorem holds for equiangular polygons.
:''The sum of distances from a point to the side lines of an equiangular polygon does not depend on the point and is that polygon's invariant.''
