So, I need to create an equation that has 5 variables that calculates the coordinates of one of the corners of a shape. The variables are,
le = length of one of the edges. (all the edges will be the same length.
n = number of sides
d = when the center is at (0,0) and the shape rotates the d is the y value of the corner. So, when it has been rotated by nothing ycn = ycr = 0.
xcr = x value of corner
ycr = y value of corner

CONSTANTS
xcn = the x coordinate of the center is 0
ycn = the y coordinate of the center is 0

It seems really complex and I hope someone can figure it out.

Think through this in the case of an equilateral triangle.
