The word Polygon is derived from the Latin word polygonum and the Greek word polygonan. In the field of geometry, a regular polygon is a typical plane figure that is bound by a closed path or circuit. All the sides of a regular polygon are of equal length and all the interior angles of the same measurement.
Some of the well known polygons are the triangles, quadrilaterals, hexagon, pentagon etc.
For a regular polygon with n sides of length s, the area is given by:
