Enneadecagon
An enneadecagon or 19-gon is a shape with 19 sides and 19 corners.[1] It is also known as an enneakaidecagon or a nonadecagon.[2]

Regular enneadecagon
All sides of a regular enneadecagon are the same length. Each corner is ≈161.052°. All corners added together equal 6840°.
The radius of the circumcircle of the regular enneadecagon with side length t is [math]\displaystyle{ R=\frac{t}{2} \csc \frac {180}{19} }[/math] (angle in degrees). The area, where t is the edge length, is [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{19}{4}t^2 \cot \frac{\pi}{19} \simeq 28.4652\,t^2. }[/math]
