In curvature −1, a regular n-gon of circumradius R>0 has interior angle α(R)=2arctan(cot(π/n)/coshR), by the right-triangle angle form of the hyperbolic law of cosines. Thus its hyperbolic polygon area is (n−2)π−nα(R), continuously and strictly increasing from 0 to (n−2)π. Every area in that open interval is therefore attained at exactly one circumradius.
