how to find the area of a regular polygon with 100 sides and with a perimeter of 100 units
-------------------
The area of any regular polygon with n sides of length s is
Area+=+n%2As%5E2%2Acot%28180%2Fn%29%2F4
s = 100/100 = 1
Area+=+100%2Acot%28180%2F100%29%2F4+=+25%2Acot%281.8%29
Area =~ 795.55 sq units
