Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate regular-polygon perimeter, apothem, circumradius, interior angle, and area from a side count and side length.

P = ns; a = s/[2 tan(π/n)]; R = s/[2 sin(π/n)]; α = (n−2)180°/n; A = aP/2

When

  • Regular convex polygon
  • Equal sides and angles
  • Planar Euclidean geometry
  • Nominal dimensions

Don’t

  • This is planar regular-polygon closed-form geometry: every side and every interior angle are assumed equal. It does not calculate irregular polygons, tolerance zones, CAD/CAM geometry, feature position, material area allowance, manufacturability, structural response, or drawing compliance.
