⭐ Core Definition: Skew polygon

In geometry, a skew polygon is a closed polygonal chain in Euclidean space. It is a figure similar to a polygon except its vertices are not all coplanar. While a polygon is ordinarily defined as a plane figure, the edges and vertices of a skew polygon form a space curve. Skew polygons must have at least four vertices. The interior surface and corresponding area measure of such a polygon is not uniquely defined.

Skew infinite polygons (apeirogons) have vertices which are not all colinear.

👉 Skew polygon in the context of 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 (that is, if it is also equilateral) then it is a regular polygon. Isogonal polygons are equiangular polygons which alternate two edge lengths.

For clarity, a planar equiangular polygon can be called direct or indirect. A direct equiangular polygon has all angles turning in the same direction in a plane and can include multiple turns. Convex equiangular polygons are always direct. An indirect equiangular polygon can include angles turning right or left in any combination. A skew equiangular polygon may be isogonal, but can't be considered direct since it is nonplanar.
