Octadecagon 十八边形
An octadecagon (or octakaidecagon) is an eighteen-sided polygon or 18-gon.
A regular octadecagon has a Schläfli symbol {18} and can be constructed as a quasiregular truncated enneagon, t{9}, which alternates two types of edges.
As 18 = 2 × 3, a regular octadecagon cannot be constructed using a compass and straightedge. However, it is constructible using neusis, or an angle trisector.
The following approximate construction is very similar to that of the enneagon, as an octadecagon can be constructed as a truncated enneagon. It is also feasible with exclusive use of compass and straightedge.
