Degrees in regular polygon

This is a response to Dan Meyer's [url=http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?p=16747]"Discrete Functions Gone Wild!"[/url] , an expansion of the [math](n-2)*180[/math] idea beyond the natural numbers; what if you use this formula for different values of [math]n[/math]? Type your choice of [math]n[/math] into the input box. You can enter fractions by typing 7/2 or 3 + 1/2. Then drag the sliders for [math]p[/math] and [math]q[/math] to see what these represent. For further reading, see [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfJzrmS9UfY&list=PLF7CBA45AEBAD18B8]Vi Hart's video[/url] or search for 'star polygons'.
