Hello, I am a junior in high school looking for help to get a formula. I need this formula to solve an equation in which I want to know the number of sides in a regular polygon, where I am given the circumradius and a side length.

s = side length
r = radius
n = # of sides
-----
angle = asin(s/2r)
n = 360/(2*angle)
