Edge Length of Regular Polygon given Perimeter Calculator

Calculate Edge Length





Formula

The formula to calculate the Edge Length of a Regular Polygon is:

\[ l_e = \frac{P}{N_S} \]

Definition

The edge length of a regular polygon is the length of one of its sides. The perimeter is the total distance around the edge of the polygon. The number of sides denotes the total number of sides of the polygon, which is used to classify the types of polygons.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ l_e = \frac{80}{8} = 10 \]

The Edge Length is 10 Meters.
