Basic Two Dimensional ShapesName Definition

Square it can be generalized as a variety of rectangles when the dimensions are of different length. The square is the square of the dyad (line segment) and the rectangle is a dyad times a dyad (of variant lengths). It could be represented by ||.Circle  no flat dimensions, both dimensions are curved together. It can roll back and forth on a linear path. It could be represented as (). Sometimes the word "circle" refers to the hollow version where the solid version is called a disk.

Regular PolygonsName Definition

Triangle  Also called trigon. Short names include tri and equit (for equalateral triangle). It has 3 vertices and 3 edges. Non regular triangles include isot (isosceles) and scalene. Symbol is ox

Square Also called tetragon or tetrangle. It has 4 vertices and 4 edges. The symbol can be o'x or x x.

Pentagon Short name is pe. It has 5 vertices and 5 edges. Symbol is o^x.

Hexagon Commonly called hex (not to be confused with the hexadecachoron's short name). My short name for it is he. It has 6 vertices and 6 edges. The symbol is either o6x (hexagon symmetry) or xx (trigon symmetry).

Heptagon   Short name is ha. It has 7 vertices and 7 edges. Symbol is o7x.

Octagon   Short name is oc. It has 8 vertices and 8 edges. Symbol can be either o8x or x'x depending on which symmetry we consider it under.

Nonagon Short name is en. It has 9 vertices and 9 edges. Symbol is o9x
