Title
Regular Decagon
Description
The regular decagon is constructible 10-sided regular polygon with Schläfli symbol {10}. The inradius r, circumradius R, and area can be computed directly from the formulas for a general regular polygon with side length s and n=10 sides, r = 1/2scot(pi/(10)) (1) = 1/2sqrt(5+2sqrt(5))s (2) R = 1/2scsc(pi/(10))=1/2(1+sqrt(5))s (3) = phis (4) A = 1/4ns^2cot(pi/(10)) (5) = 5/2sqrt(5+2sqrt(5))s^2. (6) Here, phi is the golden ratio.
