四十六角形

正四十六角形においては、中心角と外角は7.826…°で、内角は172.173…°となる。一辺の長さが a の正四十六角形の面積 S は

${\displaystyle S={\frac {46}{4}}a^{2}\cot {\frac {\pi }{46}}\simeq 168.12405a^{2}}$

${\displaystyle \cos(2\pi /46)}$の値は、11次方程式を解くことにより冪根で表現される[1]。${\displaystyle z^{11}=1}$の複素数解の一つ ${\displaystyle e^{{\frac {2\pi }{11}}i}}$ をσとおいて、10次多項式にσを代入した値の11乗根を10個(${\displaystyle \lambda _{1},\lambda _{2},\lambda _{3},\lambda _{4},\lambda _{5},\lambda _{6},\lambda _{7},\lambda _{8},\lambda _{9},\lambda _{10}}$)用いて表される。

${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\cos {\frac {2\pi }{46}}=&\cos {\frac {\pi }{23}}=\cos \left(\pi -{\frac {22\pi }{23}}\right)=-\cos {\frac {22\pi }{23}}\\=&-{\frac {\lambda _{1}\sigma ^{2}+\lambda _{2}\sigma ^{4}+\lambda _{3}\sigma ^{6}+\lambda _{4}\sigma ^{8}+\lambda _{5}\sigma ^{10}+\lambda _{6}\sigma +\lambda _{7}\sigma ^{3}+\lambda _{8}\sigma ^{5}+\lambda _{9}\sigma ^{7}+\lambda _{10}\sigma ^{9}-1}{22}}\end{aligned}}}$
