This article jumps into complexities too quickly. It needs refocussing with a gentler start and a section on History, e.g. geometric construction by the Greeks, constructing the heptagon, Poinsot's study of regular star polygons (in the same paper where he describes the regular star polyhedra). That table of area results should go - all we need is the general method and a couple of worked examples. More pictures too, especially of star polygons. -- Steelpillow 22:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Angles

How do you find the interior and exterior angles of a regular polygon, especcially octogon, nonogon, and hexagon.--User:Rat235478683--

The general formula is already there. I just added a subheading so you can find it. -- Steelpillow (talk) 15:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for suggestions

I have made my first 'noticeable' on Wikipedia. That is, not simply running a spell check. Could someone please give me some constructive criticism on how to better improve this article? 69.14.16.239 (talk) 23:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
