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

Area = (n × s²) / (4 × tan(π/n))

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1Area = (n × s²) / (4 × tan(π/n))
  2. 2n = number of sides; s = side length
  3. 3Perimeter = n × s
  4. 4Circumradius R = s / (2 × sin(π/n))

Worked Examples

Input
Regular pentagon (5 sides), side 4 cm
Result
Area = (5 × 16) / (4 × tan(36°)) = 80/2.906 = 27.53 cm²
