To find the area of a regular polygon that is circumscribed around a circle, we first need to know the length of each side of the polygon. We can use trigonometry to calculate this length using the radius of the circle and the number of sides of the polygon.
Once we have the length of each side, we can use the formula for the area of a regular polygon:
main.go35 chars2 lines
where n
is the number of sides of the polygon, s
is the length of each side, and pi
is the mathematical constant pi.
Here's some example code in Go that implements this formula:
main.go605 chars22 lines
In this example, we're calculating the area of a hexagon (6 sides) that is circumscribed around a circle with a radius of 5 units. The output of this program will be:
main.go102 chars2 lines
