    Shape Number

    Definition

    A figurate number, also (but mostly in texts from the 1500 and 1600s) known as a figural number, is a number that can be represented by a regular geometrical arrangement of equally spaced points. If the arrangement forms a regular polygon, the number is called a polygonal number. The polygonal numbers illustrated above are called triangular, square, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers, respectively. Figurate numbers can also form other shapes such as centered polygons, L-shapes, three-dimensional solids, etc.
