How to check this calculation

Formula & conventions

The polygon is regular and profile width is perpendicular to each side. Size can reference corners or flats. For odd-sided polygons these are circumcircle and incircle diameters, not distances between actual opposite corners or faces.

s = 2a × tan(π/n); α = 180°/n

Position origin: left edge or base indicated in the drawing.
