Hexacontatetragon


In geometry, a hexacontatetragon or 64-gon is a sixty-four-sided polygon. The sum of any hexacontatetragon's interior angles is 11160 degrees.

Regular hexacontatetragon

The regular hexacontatetragon can be constructed as a truncated triacontadigon, t, a twice-truncated hexadecagon, tt, a thrice-truncated octagon, ttt, a fourfold-truncated square, tttt, and a fivefold-truncated digon,.
One interior angle in a regular hexacontatetragon is 174°, meaning that one exterior angle would be 5°.
The area of a regular hexacontatetragon is
and its inradius is

Construction

Since 64 = 26, a regular hexacontatetragon is constructible using a compass and straightedge. As a truncated triacontadigon, it can be constructed by an edge-bisection of a regular triacontadigon.

Symmetry

The regular hexacontatetragon has Dih64 dihedral symmetry, order 128, represented by 64 lines of reflection. Dih64 has 6 dihedral subgroups: Dih32, Dih16, Dih8, Dih4, Dih2 and Dih1 and 7 more cyclic symmetries: Z64, Z32, Z16, Z8, Z4, Z2, and Z1, with Zn representing π/n radian rotational symmetry.
These 13 symmetries generate 20 unique symmetries on the regular hexacontatetragon. John Conway labels these lower symmetries with a letter and order of the symmetry follows the letter. He gives r128 for the full reflective symmetry, Dih64, and a1 for no symmetry. He gives d with mirror lines through vertices, p with mirror lines through edges, i with mirror lines through both vertices and edges, and g for rotational symmetry. a1 labels no symmetry.
These lower symmetries allows degrees of freedoms in defining irregular hexacontatetragons. Only the g64 subgroup has no degrees of freedom but can seen as directed edges.

Dissection

states that every zonogon can be dissected into m/2 parallelograms.
In particular this is true for regular polygons with evenly many sides, in which case the parallelograms are all rhombi. For the regular hexacontatetragon, m=32, and it can be divided into 496: 16 squares and 15 sets of 32 rhombs. This decomposition is based on a Petrie polygon projection of a 32-cube.
