Regular Polygons

Areas of regular polygons - polygons with 3 to 12 sides.

Regular polygon

Perimeter of a Regular Polygon

P = n a                                 (1)

where

P = perimeter (m, ft ..)

n = number of sides

a = length of side (m, ft, ..)

Area of a Regular Polygon

A = n a r / 2

   = n r2 tan(Θ)

   = n R2 sin(2 Θ) / 2                                (2)
