Nonagon

A nonagon is a polygon with 9 sides.

Quick answer

A nonagon is a polygon with 9 sides.

Main formula
Regular perimeter = 9 x side; regular area = (perimeter x apothem)/2.
Quick example
If each side measures 4, the perimeter is 36.

Definition

A nonagon is a closed polygon formed by 9 line segments.

Regular nonagon

In a regular nonagon, all sides and all interior angles are equal.

Formulas

  • Perimeter of a regular nonagon: P = 9s.
  • Area of a regular nonagon: A = (P x a)/2, where a is the apothem.

Example

If a regular nonagon has side length 4, then P = 9 x 4 = 36.
