Frequently asked questions

Use A = 3 × (2 + √3) × side², about 11.196 × side². A side of 5 gives an area of about 279.9 square units.

A dodecagon is a polygon with 12 sides. A regular one has all sides and angles equal.

A regular dodecagon has twelve equal sides, so the perimeter is 12 × side.

Some coins and architectural designs are dodecagonal, and clock faces are divided into twelve like a dodecagon's sides.

The Dodecagon Area Calculator uses the formula: Area = 3 × (2 + √(3)) × Side length ^ 2. For example, with side length of 5 units, the area is 279.9038.
