got pic?

anonymous · Answer

no, there is no picture @jdoe0001

anonymous · Answer

but, how do I find the side lengths?

anonymous · Answer

So, how would I do that for a 5-gon inscribed in the circle?

dan815 · Answer

are u saying theyre both 60 or together they are 60?

anonymous · Answer

is there some sort of formula to solve this? because to find the perimeter of a 542-gon inscribed in the circle, using a formula to figure it out is what makes sense

dan815 · Answer

oh hey ok im here

do u want me to solve mahimas question or yours jhanny

dan815 · Answer

mahmia this is what u do okay first see the length of one of the sides of tthis n gon and multibly by n

anonymous · Answer

sorry, i don't understand. What do you mean by "see the length of one of the sides"

anonymous · Answer

and do you mean multiply the length of the side by n?

jhannybean · Answer

dan815 · Answer

see the vectors from the center have 360/3 separation for 3 god
360/4 for 4 gon
360/5 for 5 gon and so on

dan815 · Answer

now u can use the cos law to find the length of each side

dan815 · Answer

or write a vector subtraction magnitude equation
