To calculate the number of sides of a regular polygon in PHP, you can use the following formula:
main.php386 chars9 lines
In the code above, we first get the number of sides from a form input. We then check if the number of sides is greater than or equal to 3 (a polygon should have at least 3 sides).
If the number of sides is valid, we calculate the interior angle and exterior angle of the polygon using the formulas:
interior_angle = 180 * (sides - 2) / sides
exterior_angle = 360 / sides
Finally, we output the number of sides, the interior angle, and the exterior angle of the polygon using echo
.
Note that this formula only works for regular polygons (polygons with all sides and angles equal). If you want to calculate the number of sides of an irregular polygon, you need to know the angles and lengths of its sides.
