Understanding your result

Read area (length^2), perimeter (length), interior (degree) in the units and model stated on this page. The formula area=10*s*s/(4*tan(pi/10)) · perimeter=10*s · interior=180*(10-2)/10 defines the relationship; measurement accuracy and model applicability are separate from numerical precision.

Common mistakes

  • Mixing input units or changing the physical meaning of a variable without changing the model.

Check your calculation

  • Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.
