A regular polygon is a [[Polygon|polygon]], all angles of which are equal and all sides of which are equal.

In other words, a regular polygon is a polygon whose vertices all lie on one circle while its sides all touch a concentric circle. If the polygon is convex and has $n$ vertices, it is called an $n$-gon, and is denoted by $\{n\}$. If it is non-convex and its $n$ sides surround its centre $d$ times, it is called a star polygon, or a star $n$-gon of density $d$, and is denoted by $\{n/d\}$. For instance, the pentagram is $\{5/2\}$.
