Area of a n-sided regular polygon with given Radius

0 0 3 minutes read

Given a regular polygon of N sides with radius(distance from the center to any vertex) R. The task is to find the area of the polygon.
Examples:

Input : r = 9, N = 6
Output : 210.444

Input : r = 8, N = 7
Output : 232.571

In the figure, we see that the polygon can be divided into N equal triangles.
Looking into one of the triangles, we see that the whole angle at the centre can be divided into = 360/N parts.
So, angle t = 180/N.
Looking into one of the triangles, we see,

h = rcost
a = rsint

We know,

area of the triangle = (base * height)/2 
                     = r^{2sin(t)cos(t)}
                     = r^2*sin(2t)/2

So, area of the polygon:

A = n * (area of one triangle) 
  = n*r^2*sin(2t)/2
^{= n*r2*sin(360/n)/2}

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ Program to find the area
// of a regular polygon with given radius
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the area
// of a regular polygon
float polyarea(float n, float r)
{
    // Side and radius cannot be negative
    if (r < 0 && n < 0)
        return -1;
 
    // Area
    // degree converted to radians
    float A = ((r * r * n) * sin((360 / n) * 3.14159 / 180)) / 2;
 
    return A;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    float r = 9, n = 6;
 
    cout << polyarea(n, r) << endl;
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java Program to find the area
// of a regular polygon with given radius
 
import java.util.*;
class GFG
{
    // Function to find the area
    // of a regular polygon
    static double polyarea(double n, double r)
    {
        // Side and radius cannot be negative
        if (r < 0 && n < 0)
            return -1;
     
        // Area
        // degree converted to radians
        double A = ((r * r * n) * Math.sin((360 / n) * 3.14159 / 180)) / 2;
     
        return A;
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String []args)
    {
        float r = 9, n = 6;
     
        System.out.println(polyarea(n, r));
     
         
    }
}
