The Formula Explained
The formula for the area of a regular polygon is:
\( A = \frac{n \times s^2}{4 \times \tan(\frac{\pi}{n})} \)
Glossary of Terms
- Number of Sides (n): The total number of sides in the polygon.
- Length of Each Side (s): The length of one side of the polygon.
- Area (A): The total area enclosed by the polygon.
