A dodecagon

A dodecagon or 12-gon is a shape with 12 sides and 12 corners.

Regular dodecagon

All sides of a regular dodecagon are the same length. Each corner is 150°. All corners added together equal 1800°.

Area

The amount of space a regular dodecagon takes up is

A=3cot(π12)a2=3(2+3)a211,19615a2.
The variable A represents the area, and the variable a represents the apothem.

Perimeter

The perimeter of a regular dodecagon is

P=12s

The variable P represents the perimeter, and the variable s represents one side.Template:Math-stub Template:Polygons
