How to Calculate Regular Polygon Area
What is Regular Polygon Area?
A regular polygon area calculator computes area, perimeter, and circumradius for any regular polygon (equal sides and angles) given the side length and number of sides.
Formula
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Area = (n × s²) / (4 × tan(π/n))
- 2n = number of sides; s = side length
- 3Perimeter = n × s
- 4Circumradius R = s / (2 × sin(π/n))
