An octadecagon is a polygon with 18 sides and 18 vertices. Another name for an octadecagon is octakaidecagon.

Construction

A regular octadecagon cannot be constructed using compass and straightedge.

Petrie polygons

The regular octadecagon is the Petrie polygon for a number of higher dimensional polytopes, shown in these skew orthogonal projections from Coxeter planes:
