A triacontadigon (say "try-uh-KON-tuh-dy-gon") is a special type of shape. It has 32 straight sides and 32 corners. Another name for it is an icosidodecagon.

What is a Regular Triacontadigon?

When a triacontadigon is called regular, it means two important things:

  • All 32 of its sides are exactly the same length.
  • All 32 of its corners (or angles) are exactly the same size.

Each corner in a regular triacontadigon measures 168 and three-quarters degrees (168.75°). If you add up all the angles inside a regular triacontadigon, the total will be 5400 degrees.
