square or hexagon. The apothem refers to the length of the line the connects the center of a regular polygon to the midpoint of any of the sides. A regular polygon has all congruent sides; if the polygon is irregular, there is not a midpoint equidistant from the midpoint of all sides...
Two more efficient algorithms were found, one of them only applicable when the problem can be described as a linear problem, like in the case of a convex polygon. Keywords: distance geometry, euclidean distance, inscribed circle, irregular polygon, algorithm, mathematical optimization, Monte Carlo,...
The shape of the base of a pyramid can be any polygon,, and there is a single general formula that allows to to calculate the volume of it: V_{pyramid}=\frac{1}{3}\times A_b\times h where Abis the area of the base and h is the height. If the pyramid has a ...
