The sum of the radii of inscribed and circumscribed circles for an sided regular polygon of side a, is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{n}\right)=\frac{a}{2 r} ; \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{n}\right)=\frac{a}{2 R}
r+R=\frac{a}{2}\left[\cot \frac{\pi}{n}+\operatorname{cosec} \frac{\pi}{n}\right] \Rightarrow r+R=\frac{a}{2} \cdot \cot \left(\frac{\pi}{2 n}\right)
