An abstract geometric pattern of glowing blue and purple translucent triangles and polygons arranged concentrically within an octagonal frame.

An abstract geometric pattern of glowing blue and purple translucent triangles and polygons arranged concentrically within an octagonal frame.

Regular polygons with more than four sides possess a unique geometric trait. Start by picking any point inside the polygon and drawing lines from it to every vertex, creating n triangles. Then, rotate each triangle 180° around the midpoint of the polygon's edge. This transformation creates n parallelograms. If you connect the outermost vertices of these parallelograms, you will form a new, larger regular polygon. Notably, this new shape will have a different center than the original, and the process can be repeated indefinitely to create even larger polygons. See more
