Your are a nine-sided nonagon

Side-by-side, I'm an octagon

But our angles should total

Three-hundred-and-sixty

Degrees congruent:

Obtuse, acute

Just don't add

Up to

Us

    Relational Geometry: the sum is greater than the total of the parts. Again, a totally original take on the challenge!

  • And a brilliant clever take on the challenge, love it
