To find the area of a regular polygon circumscribed around a circle, we can use the formula:
Area = (perimeter * apothem) / 2
where perimeter
is the perimeter of the polygon (i.e. the sum of the length of all sides), and apothem
is the distance from the center of the polygon to the midpoint of a side.
Here's how we can implement this formula in C#:

In this example, we're assuming a regular hexagon with a radius of 5 units. The formula can be easily adapted for polygons with a different number of sides and/or radii.
