Formulas for a regular polygon (n-gon)


Perimeter(\(\small{P}\))

\(\displaystyle P = a · n \)

Area (\(\small{A}\))

\(\displaystyle A =\frac{n}{4} · cot\left(\frac{180}{n}\right) · a^2 \)

Circumcircle radius (\(\small{r_c}\))

\(\displaystyle ra = \frac{1}{2} ·csc\left(\frac{180}{n} \right) ·a\)

Incicle radius (\(\small{r_i}\))

\(\displaystyle ra = \frac{1}{2} ·cot\left(\frac{180}{n} \right) ·a\)

Inside angle (\(\small{α}\))

\(\displaystyle \alpha = \frac{180 · (n-2)}{n}\)
