Sum of lengths of sides and diagonals I will very much appreciate if someone can give me a formula for the sum of lengths of all the sides and all the diagonals of a regular n-gon inscribed in a unit circle. Thank you.
 A: Without loss of generality we may assume that the circle has radius $1$ (if it has radius $r$ we can multiply by $r$). We can also assume that one of the vertices of the polygon is at $(1,0)$. Let $\theta=\frac{2\pi}{n}$. Then the next vertex  (counterclockwise) makes an angle of $\theta$ with the $x$-axis, and the next one an angle of $2\theta$, then $3\theta$, all the way to $(n-1)\theta$.
By basic trigonometry, the distance from $(1,0)$ to the first vertex is $\sin(\theta/2)$. The distance from $(1,0)$ to the second vertex is $\sin(2\theta/2)$. Continue. The distance from $(1,0)$ to the last vertex is $\sin((n-1)\theta/2)$.
Add up. We get
$$\sin \alpha+\sin 2\alpha+\sin 3\alpha+\cdots +\sin (n-1)\alpha,$$
where $\alpha=\dfrac{\pi}{n}$.
There is a pleasantly simple formula for this kind of sum: see here. This formula is most easily proved by using complex numbers, for then we are just dealing with the sum of two geometric progressions. In that formula, let $\varphi=0$, and use $n-1$ instead of $n$. Note that the already quite simple formula simplifies further. 
Now repeat this calculation at all $n$ vertices. We get the same number each time. But if we multiply the sum at each vertex by $n$, we will have counted the length of each edge and each diagonal twice. So we take the sum at the first vertex, multiply by $n$ and then divide by $2$.
A: Hint:  The sides of the regular $n$-gon are chords of the circle, with central angle $\frac {2\pi}n$.  The diagonals are also chords, with central angles some multiple of that.  Think about how many diagonals come from one vertex.
