I'm doing some programing and I am wondering how I can find the length of a Polygon's side (variable number of sides) from the radius (distance between center and one corner).
Thank you

It is a simple application of geometry and Trig.
You know the side length and included angle (this is determined by the number of sides). Draw a picture and apply the definition of the Sin.
