Seitsmenurk

Seitsmenurk is the Estonian word for a heptagon, a seven-sided polygon. Like any polygon, a seitsmenurk is a closed shape made up of straight line segments. It has seven vertices, which are the points where the sides meet, and seven interior angles.

A regular seitsmenurk has all sides of equal length and all interior angles equal. The sum of the interior angles of any seitsmenurk, regardless of whether it is regular or irregular, is always 900 degrees (or 5π radians). This can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides, so for a seitsmenurk, (7-2) * 180 = 900.

In a regular seitsmenurk, each interior angle measures approximately 128.57 degrees. The exterior angles of any convex polygon also sum to 360 degrees. For a regular seitsmenurk, each exterior angle is approximately 31.43 degrees.

Seitsmenurks appear in various contexts, though perhaps less commonly than shapes with fewer sides like triangles or squares. They can be found in some architectural designs and geometric patterns. The construction of a regular seitsmenurk using only a compass and straightedge is not possible, distinguishing it from polygons like the pentagon or hexagon.
