Table of n, a(n) for n=3..40.

Formula

a(n) = floor(n^3/(4*tan(Pi/n))).

a(n) = n^4/(4*Pi) - (Pi/12)*n^2 + O(1). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 03 2024

Example

Areas of polygons (starting from n=3):
  3.897... (equilateral triangle), so a(3) = 3,
 16.000... (square), so a(4) = 16,
 43.011... (pentagon), so a(5) = 43,
 93.530... (hexagon), so a(6) = 93,
178.061... (heptagon), so a(7) = 178.
