A polygon inscribed in a circle 2017-05-27
From Levan:
This was the closest to what I am trying to solve. http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.06/s/dj1.html

So in the answer linked, we figure out what is "c".

But what if we know "c" and want to find out "n" based on specific "r=1".

It might be simple math, but I have not had any relationship with math for 20 years now but this question puzzles me for a reason.
