    Default Re: Polygons by area

    You need to find the radius of circumscribed circle:

    r=sqrt(area/(5*sin54*cos54))

    any other polygon:

    r=sqrt(area/(n*sin(90-180/n)*cos(90-180/n))); where n=number of sides

    Therefore, radius of the regular 5-sided polygon which has area 25 sqm = 3.242625825m
