Radius and vertices of a polygon circumscribed in a circle

109 Views Asked by At

While searching to find a way to circumscribe a polygon in a circle of radius $1$, I found that the radius of this polygon should be $\frac{1}{cos(\pi /n)}$ where n is the number of sides. However, I don't see why this is the case.

Furthermore, knowing that, how should I know the coordinates of the vertices?
