HP 15C: Regular Polygon: Internal Angle, Area, Perimeter



Hope you all like the new background and style changes!  Thank you for the success of this blog - less than a month to the blog's sixth birthday (4/11/2017).  


HP 15C:  Regular Polygon: Internal Angle, Area, Perimeter

Inputs (Store values before running the program):
R0:  n, number of sides
R1:  s, length of each side

Outputs:
R2:  θ, Internal Angle
R3:  A, Area
R4:  P, Perimeter

Formulas Used (Degrees Mode Used):

Internal Angle:  θ = 180° - 360°/n
Area:  A = (s^2 * n)/(4 * tan (180°/n))
Perimeter:  P = s * n
