 Regular Polygon
   
Number of sides, all equal length a: n
Number of interior angles, all equal measure beta: n
Central angle subtending one side: alpha
 
Perimeter: P
Area: K
 
Radius of circumscribed circle: R
Radius of inscribed circle: r
 
    beta = Pi(n-2)/n radians = 180o(n-2)/n
alpha = 2 Pi/n radians = 360o/n
alpha + beta = Pi radians = 180o
 
P = na = 2nR sin(alpha/2)
K = na2 cot(alpha/2)/4
    = nR2 sin(alpha)/2
    = nr2 tan(alpha/2)
    = na sqrt(4R2-a2)/4
  
R = a csc(alpha/2)/2
r = a cot(alpha/2)/2
 
a = 2r tan(alpha/2) = 2R sin(alpha/2)
