Examples
Areas of polygons (starting from n=3): 3.897... (equilateral triangle), so a(3) = 3, 16.000... (square), so a(4) = 16, 43.011... (pentagon), so a(5) = 43, 93.530... (hexagon), so a(6) = 93, 178.061... (heptagon), so a(7) = 178.

Formula
a(n) = floor(n^3/(4*tan(Pi/n))).
a(n) = n^4/(4*Pi) - (Pi/12)*n^2 + O(1). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 03 2024
