  Heptagon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, a heptagon is a polygon with seven sides and seven angles.
In a regular heptagon, in which all sides and all angles are equal, the sides meet at an angle of 5π/7 radians, approximately 128.571 degrees.
The heptagon is also sometimes referred to as the septagon, using "sept-" (an elision of septua-, a Latin-derived numerical prefix, rather than hepta-, a Greek-derived numerical prefix).

 Connecting carbon nanotubes with pentagon-heptagon pair defects
When the pentagon and heptagon are positioned at two diametrically-opposed sides of the structure, the axis of the two connected nanotubes make an angle around 35°.
The angle can be made smaller by putting the pentagon and heptagon closer to each other [4], and it is even possible to connect two different nanotubes without bending the structure by aligning the pentagon and heptagon along the same side [5].
The (9,0)-(12,0) connection illustrated on the left was constructed with a pair of pentagon and heptagon (by courtesy of Riichiro Saito).

Date: 04/06/2001 at 13:12:34 From: Todd McCready Subject: Properties of a Regular Heptagon I am stuck on a problem I was given for a math contest.
It seems that perhaps using the law of sines we should be able to show that in a triangle whose angles are in the ratio A:B:C = 1:2:4, the sides a, b and c satisfy the relation 1/a = (1/b)+(1/c)...
So here is the proof of the proposition: I'm going to let a, b and c represent the lengths, respectively, of the side of the regular heptagon, the short diagonal of the regular heptagon, and the long diagonal of the regular heptagon.
