%N Integer part of area of a regular polygon with n sides each of length 1.

%C Usually (perhaps always?) floor(n^2/(4*Pi) - Pi/12) for a polygon of circumference n. Note that the area of a circle with circumference C is C^2/(4*Pi).

%F a(n) = floor(n/(4*tan(Pi/n))).

%e Areas (starting from n=2) are: 0, 0.433... (equilateral triangle), 1 (square), 1.720... (pentagon), 2.598... (hexagon), 3.633... (heptagon), 4.828... (octagon), etc., so sequence starts 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
