A polygon has nn vertices, where n≥3n\ge3. It has the following properties:

  • Every vertex of the polygon lies on the circumference of a circle CC.
  • The centre of the circle CC is inside the polygon.
  • The radii from the centre of the circle CC to the vertices of the polygon cut the polygon into nn triangles of equal area.

For which values of nn are these properties sufficient to deduce that the polygon is regular?

Ano values of nn
Bn=3n=3 only
Cn=3n=3 and n=4n=4 only
Dn=3n=3 and n≥5n\ge5 only
Eall values of nn
