Python Math: Calculate the area of a regular polygon
Python Math: Exercise-28 with Solution
Write a python program to calculate the area of a regular polygon.
Sample Solution:-
Python Code:
from math import tan, pi
n_sides = int(input("Input number of sides: "))
s_length = float(input("Input the length of a side: "))
p_area = n_sides * (s_length ** 2) / (4 * tan(pi / n_sides))
print("The area of the polygon is: ",p_area)
Sample Output:
Input number of sides: 4 Input the length of a side: 20 The area of the polygon is: 400.00000000000006
