Program to find the Circumcircle of any regular polygon

Given a n-sided polygon with side length a. The task is to find the area of the circumcircle of the polygon.

Examples:

Input: n = 10, a = 3
Output: 1.99737
Input: n = 5, a = 6
Output: 3.02487

Approach: A regular n-gon divides the circle into n pieces, so the central angle of the triangle is a full circle divided by n: 360 deg/n
Applying the law of cosines for the three side lengths of the triangle, we get

c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos C 
or, a2 = r2 + r2 - 2rr cos (360/n) 
or, a2 = 2r2 - 2r2 cos (360/n) 
or, c2 = r2 (2 - 2 cos (360/n)) 
so, a=r?(2-2cos(360/n))

Therefore, 
r=a/?(2-2cos(360/n)) 

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 




// C++ Program to find the radius
// of the circumcircle of the given polygon
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the radius
// of the circumcircle
float findRadiusOfcircumcircle(float n, float a)
{
 
    // these cannot be negative
    if (n < 0 || a < 0)
        return -1;
 
    // Radius of the circumcircle
    float radius = a / sqrt(2 - (2 * cos(360 / n)));
 
    // Return the radius
    return radius;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    float n = 5, a = 6;
 
    // Find the radius of the circumcircle
    cout << findRadiusOfcircumcircle(n, a) << endl;
 
    return 0;
}




// Java Program to find the radius

// Function to find the radius

{
 
    // these cannot be negative
    if (n < 0 || a < 0)
        return -1;
 
    // Radius of the circumcircle
    float radius = (float)(a / Math.sqrt(2 - (2 * Math.cos(360 / n))));
 
    // Return the radius
    return radius;
}
 
// Driver code
 
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        float n = 5, a = 6;
 
    // Find the radius of the circumcircle
    System.out.println( findRadiusOfcircumcircle(n, a)) ;
 
    }
}

Output:

Time Complexity : O(log(n)) because it is using inbuilt sqrt function
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
