Problem Statement

Minkowski Sums

Let S_n be the regular n-sided polygon – or shape – whose vertices v_k (k = 1,2,…,n) have coordinates:

x_k = cos( (2k-1)/n × 180° ) y_k = sin( (2k-1)/n × 180° )

Each S_n is to be interpreted as a filled shape consisting of all points on the perimeter and in the interior.

The Minkowski sum, S+T, of two shapes S and T is the result of adding every point in S to every point in T, where point addition is performed coordinate-wise:

(u, v) + (x, y) = (u+x, v+y).

How many sides does S_1864 + S_1865 + … + S_1909 have?
