 Two of the most practical applications in polygon 
deal with perimeter and area. 
 Perimeter is the length around the boundary of a 
closed two-dimensional region. 
 Area is the amount of material that would be 
needed to cover a surface completely.
 Perimeter: The perimeter P of a regular polygon 
is 
P=sn 
where n is the number of sides and s is the 
measure of one side. 
 Area of a Regular Polygon: The area A of a regular 
polygon with an apothem a is given by 
or
 A regular polygon can be subdivided into 
congruent isosceles triangles whose common lies 
at the center of the polygon. Thus, the area of a 
regular polygon is equal to the product of the area 
of one triangle and the number of sides of the 
polygon. 
 Number of Diagonals in a Polygon:
 Number of Triangles Formed by Diagonals Drawn 
Through the Same Vertex: 
t = n-2 
 Central Angle in a Regular Polygon: 
 Each Interior Angle of a Regular Polygon:
 Sum of Interior Angles:
