    It is not. Your polygon is drawn so that the circle is inside the polygon and the tangent points on the circle touch the mid-point of each segment of the polygon.

    http://marleyturned.com/Shop_Utilities.html Check the formula I provided against the link you are familiar with. It is the same formula he uses.
