To find the area of a regular polygon circumscribed around a circle, we can use the formula:
Area = 0.5 * Perimeter * apothem
Where, Perimeter is the perimeter of the polygon and apothem is the distance from the center of the polygon to the midpoint of a side of the polygon.
We can calculate the perimeter of the regular polygon as P = n * s, where n is the number of sides and s is the length of each side.
The apothem can be calculated as a = r * cos(pi/n), where r is the radius of the circle that circumscribes the polygon.
Here's the Rust code to calculate the area of a regular polygon circumscribed around a circle:
main.rs528 chars15 lines
In this code, we first calculate the length of each side s
using the formula 2r * sin(pi/n)
. Then, we calculate the perimeter p
of the polygon using n * s
. Finally, we calculate the apothem a
using r * cos(pi/n)
. We then substitute these values in the formula for the area and return the result.
