6-18 Entering and Evaluating Equations
The next equation also obeys the syntax rules. This equation uses the inverse
function, , instead of the fractional form, . Notice that
the SIN function is "nested" inside the INV function. (INV is typed by .)

Example: Area of a Polygon.
The equation for area of a regular polygon with n sides of length d is:
Area =
You can specify this equation as
