Rational Equiangular Polygons ()
Abstract
The main purpose of this note is to investigate
equiangular polygons with rational edges. When the number of edges is the power
of a prime, we determine simple, necessary and sufficient conditions for the
existence of such polygons. As special cases of our investigations, we settle
two conjectures involving arithmetic polygons.
