Square

Triangle

There are many types of triangles. The most common type I use is the regular triangle. It’s the first of the regular polygons. All three of it’s sides are the same length. In the images you’ll notice that I put I big gray circle behind the triangles. This is to show that a regular polygon fits perfectly inside a circle.

The next two images are a good example of how triangles can fit together to make a hexagon.

 

Circle

Hello, I’m Chandler Klebs, the geometric artist. This is my first post on my new blog about geometric shapes. You should see a picture above which contains 6 circles. More precisely, this type of image is often called a bullseye or a target.
I’ve decided that this type of picture is going to be the theme for this geometry blog.
Circles are probably the most common geometric shape used on earth. It’s hard to avoid seeing them. Even the eyes of most creature have circles.

This shape is not common just because it’s so round and beautiful, but also because it’s easy to make. A circle is defined by a certain center location and a radius. The radius is the distance from the center to the outside.

A circle is usually drawn using a tool called a compass. Here is a link to a youtube video which shows how it works.

The first image had black and white circles. Now I will show you the same thing recolored using my favorite rainbow colors.

And below here are some other drawings where the circles are cut into slices.
