A chiliagon or 1000-gon is a shape with 1000 sides and 1000 corners.

Regular chiliagon[change]

A regular chiliagon is represented by Schläfli symbol {1000} and can be constructed as a truncated 500-gon, t{500}, or a twice-truncated 250-gon, tt{250}, or a thrice-truncated 125-gon, ttt{125}.

Area[change]

The amount of space a regular chiliagon takes up is

<math>A = 250a^2 \cot \frac{\pi}{1000} \simeq 79577.2\,a^2</math>

a is the length of one of its sides.
