I have found an equation which deals with regular polygons touching circles tangentially with each of their sides.
[tex]P=Dn\tan(\frac{180}{n})[/tex]
where
[tex]P[/tex] is the perimeter of the polygon.
[tex]D[/tex] is the diameter of the circle.
[tex]n[/tex] is the number of sides on the polygon.
i originaly thought it would be useful for approximating pi but now I am not sure it has a use.
Tell me what you think.
