Orthogonal trajectory. In mathematics, an orthogonal trajectory is a curve which intersects any curve of a given pencil of (planar) curves orthogonally . For example, the orthogonal trajectories of a pencil of concentric circles are the lines through their common center (see diagram). Suitable methods for the determination of orthogonal ...

Deeper truncations of the square can produce isogonal (vertex-transitive) intermediate star polygon forms with equal spaced vertices and two edge lengths. A truncated square is an octagon, t{4}={8}. A quasitruncated square, inverted as {4/3}, is an octagram, t{4/3}={8/3}.
Isogonal figure. In geometry, a polytope (a polygon, polyhedron or tiling, for example) is isogonal or vertex-transitive if all its vertices are equivalent under the symmetries of the figure. This implies that each vertex is surrounded by the same kinds of face in the same or reverse order, and with the same angles between corresponding faces.
Euclidean tilings are usually named after Cundy & Rollett’s notation. [1] This notation represents (i) the number of vertices, (ii) the number of polygons around each vertex (arranged clockwise) and (iii) the number of sides to each of those polygons. For example: 3 6; 3 6; 3 4 .6, tells us there are 3 vertices with 2 different vertex types ...
A skew hexadecagon is a skew polygon with 24 vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such a hexadecagon is not generally defined. A skew zig-zag hexadecagon has vertices alternating between two parallel planes. A regular skew hexadecagon is vertex-transitive with equal edge lengths.
Prisms are a subclass of prismatoids. [2] Like many basic geometric terms, the word prism (from Greek πρίσμα (prisma) 'something sawed') was first used in Euclid's Elements. Euclid defined the term in Book XI as “a solid figure contained by two opposite, equal and parallel planes, while the rest are parallelograms”.
