Summary edit

Description
English: In order for some polygon to be regular in Euclidean geometry, it is necessary that all its vertices be evenly spaced on a circle, but this is not sufficient.  The image shows two hexagons that share all their vertices, their center, their circumcircle.  Each hexagon is symmetric with respect to center T.  Hexagon  ABDFEC  is regular and convex.  Its (internal) angle measure equals 120 degrees.  However ABCDEF  is neither regular nor convex nor simple.  The sum of its angles equals 240 degrees:   2 α + 4 β  =  2 × 60° + 4 × 30°  =  240°.
 
Français : Pour qu’un certain polygone soit régulier  en géométrie euclidienne, il est nécessaire que tous ses sommets soient régulièrement espacés sur un cercle, mais ce n’est pas suffisant.  L’image montre deux hexagones qui ont en commun tous leurs sommets, leur centre, et leur cercle circonscrit.  Chaque hexagone est symétrique par rapport au centre T.  L’hexagone  ABDFEC  est régulier et convexe.  Tous ses angles  (intérieurs) mesurent 120 degrés.  Cependant ABCDEF  n’est ni régulier, ni convexe, ni simple.  La somme de ses angles est égale à 240 degrés :   2 α + 4 β  =  2 × 60° + 4 × 30° =  240°.
