Petrie Polygon

Bol

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In geometry, a Petrie polygon for a regular polytope of n dimensions is a skew polygon such that every (n-1) consecutive sides (but no n) belong to one of the facets. The Petrie polygon of a regular polygon is the regular polygon itself; that of a regular polyhedron is a skew polygon such that every two consecutive sides (but no three) belong to one of the faces. For every regular polytope there exists an orthogonal projection onto a plane such that one Petrie polygon becomes a regular polygon with the remainder of the projection interior to it. These polygons and projected graphs are useful in visualizing symmetric structure of the higher dimensional regular polytopes.
