The heptagon calculator will assist you in finding parameters related to the heptagon shape. Be it the sides of a heptagon or perimeter or area, this calculator can help you with all of that. You can start by entering some numbers in the tool or reading on to understand what a heptagon is.

Heptagon — Area, Perimeter, and Side length

A heptagon is a polygon with 7 sides and 7 angles. The words heptagon or septagon (its other name) are from Greek and Latin origins, with "hept" and "sept" referring to 7. For a regular polygon with $n$ n sides, the internal and external angles, $α$ α & $β$ β are

α = \frac{( n - 2 ) π}{n} β = \frac{2 π}{n}

α=n(n−2)πβ=n2π

The area and the perimeter, $P$ P of the heptagon ( $n =$ 7n=7) is

Area Area Area P P = \frac{n}{4} \times a^{2} \times cot (\frac{π}{n}) = \frac{7}{4} \times a^{2} \times cot (\frac{π}{7}) = 3.634 a^{2} = n \times a = 7 \times a

Using the heptagon calculator

Let's calculate the area of the heptagon with a side of 8 cm to understand the heptagon calculator usage.

Enter the length of the side, $a =$ 8 cma=8 cm.
The perimeter of the heptagon is $8 cm \times$ 7=56 cm8 cm×7=56 cm.
The area of the heptagon is

Area Area = \frac{7}{4} \times a^{2} \times cot (\frac{π}{7}) = 3.634 \times 8^{2} = 232.57 cm^{2}

AreaArea=47×a2×cot(7π)=3.634×82=232.57 cm2

The internal angle, $α$ α and exterior angle, $β$ β are $128.5 7^{\circ}$ 128.57∘ and $51.4 3^{\circ}$ 51.43∘
The radius of the circumcircle is

R R = \frac{a}{2 sin ( \frac{π}{7} )} = \frac{8}{2 sin ( \frac{π}{7} )} = 9.219 cm

RR=2sin(7π)a=2sin(7π)8=9.219 cm

The radius of the incircle is

r r = \frac{a}{2 tan ( \frac{π}{7} )} = \frac{8}{2 tan ( \frac{π}{7} )} = 8.306 cm

rr=2tan(7π)a=2tan(7π)8=8.306 cm
