A tridecagon or trikaidecagon or triskaidecagon or trisdecagon or 13-gon is a shape with 13 sides and 13 corners.

Regular tridecagon

All sides of a regular tridecagon are the same length. Each corner is 147.27°. All corners added together equal 6840°.

Area

The amount of space a regular tridecagon takes up is

$A={\frac {13}{4}}a^{2}\cot {\frac {\pi }{13}}\simeq 13.1858\,a^{2}.$

a is the length of one of its sides.

Numismatic use

The regular tridecagon is used as the shape of the Czech 20 korun coin.
