In geometry an enneadecagon is a polygon with 19 sides and angles.[1] It is also known as an enneakaidecagon or a nonadecagon.[2]

A regular enneadecagon is represented by Schläfli symbol {19}.

Regular form

The radius of the circumcircle of the regular enneadecagon with side length t is R=\frac{t}{2} \csc \frac {180}{19} (angle in degrees). The area, where t is the edge length, is \frac{19}{4}t^2 \cot \frac{\pi}{19} \simeq 28.4652\,t^2.

Construction

A regular enneadecagon cannot be constructed using a compass and straightedge. However, it is constructible using neusis, or an angle trisector.
