Intersection points and diagonals 2013-09-11
From Kenneth:
I was wondering, is there a relationship between the number of sides of a regular n-gon and the number of times its diagonals intersect?
Ie:
4 sides=1 intersect (center, diagonals form an 'X' )
5 sides=5 intersects (diagonals form a star)
6 sides=13 intersects
And so on.

The fourth side of an irregular polygon 2013-02-01
From Emran:
I have a irregular polygon. I know 3 of the 4 sides, and 2 of the angles. A-B is 285, B-C is 149, and C-D is 310. Angle B is 135 degrees. and Angle C is 45 degrees. Is there a formula to solve for the final side? Thanks.

Irregular polygon and Circle that Intersects All Sides 2008-08-20
From Xetro:
Hi, Suppose you have an irregular polygon(convex or concave) with n > 3 sides. The question is - Find some circle that will cut(in limiting case - touch) all the sides of that polygon. It doesnt matter how many times it cuts the side(1 or 2), it just have to cut or touch it. How to find such a circle? or how to decide if such circle even exists? What if those segments do not form a polygon but are some arbitrary segments ? Really want to know how to do it................ Thanks a lot.. Regards, Xetro

The centroid of a polygon 2007-12-29
From David:
I am playing around with an idea. I've read previous answers to questions (using surveyor calculation methods) related to finding the area of an irregular shape parcel of land (or irregular polygon). Is there a formula or method for calculating the centroid (mid-point) for this type of polygon. I've seen plenty of methods for calculating the mid-point for a triangle or regular shape poloygon but few for an irregular shape polygon such as a parcel of land. Thanks...
