If equilateral polygon PENTA is inscribed in a circle of radius 15 inches so that all of its vertices are on the circle,
what is the length of the shorter arc from vertex P to vertex N?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

1.  If equilateral polygon PENTA is inscribed in a circle, then the polygon is a REGULAR.


2.  The central angle of the polygon leaning to the shortest chord is   =  =  = 72 degs.

    The central angle of the polygon leaning to the shorter arc from vertex P to vertex N is   =  =  = 144 degs.

    The length of the corresponding arc is   =  =  = (3*2*2)*3.14 = 12*3.14 inches.


Calculate.
