Regular Polygon Calculator
Calculate regular polygon with explicit inputs and a worked example.
Formula
- Use the units shown beside each field.
- Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
- Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
Example Calculation
- Number of sides: 6
- Side length: 2
A regular hexagon of side 2 has perimeter 12 and area about 10.3923.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this calculator?
Enter number of sides, side length. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.
What method does it use?
A = ns²/[4 tan(π/n)]; P = ns. Follow the units and definitions shown with the inputs to apply this relationship consistently.
Why might a rounded result differ?
The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
Are my inputs saved online?
No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
