PLease simplify fully this equation, showing ur steps and not talking in sophisticated language
((((1000 / n) / 2) / (tan((360/n) / 2))) x (1000/n)) / 2) x n

please help - thanx

(((((1000 / n) / 2) / (tan((360/n) / 2))) x (1000/n)) / 2) x n

I'm really confused by all the parentheses... But here are some things you can simplify:

(1000 / n) / 2
= (1000 / n) * 1/2
= 500 / n

(360 / n) / 2
= 180 / n

Also...
1 / (tan y) = cot y

((((1000 / n) / 2) / (tan((360/n) / 2))) x (1000/n)) / 2) x n
=(1000/2n)/tan360/2n *1000/2n)*n
= 10^6/(4n(tan 360/2n))

You could make this clearer to yourself and everyone else if you used { } and [ ] instead of just parentheses.

You did not need an extra parentheses at the front.

You should not use x to indicate multiplication. Use a star.
If the x is indeed a variable, then you have left out an equal sign. What you have here is an expression and not an equation.

250000/[n(tan[180/n])] or 250000 over n*tan(180/n). I would need a blackboard to show how the parentheses match.
This took quite a bit of "unsnarling." Try this:
Using capital and lower case letters to show matching parentheses, the expression would look like this:
ABCDE 1000/n e /2 d / F tan GH 360/n h / gfc * I 1000/n ib /2 a xn.
Matching parentheses and following the order of operations, the expression becomes:
500/n divided by tan(180/n) times 1000/n divided by 2 times n =
500/n times 1/tan(180/n) times 1000/n times 1/2 times n =
250,000 over n*tan(180/n).
