The heptadecagon is a polygon with 17 sides. A regular heptadecagon has equal sides and equal angles.

## Measures

As ${\displaystyle \sin\tfrac{\pi}{17}}$ is expressible with real radicals, the circumradius can be given as
${\displaystyle \frac{2}{\sqrt{8-\sqrt{30+2\sqrt{17}-2\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}+2\sqrt{68+12\sqrt{17}+2\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}+16\sqrt{34+2\sqrt{17}}-2\sqrt{578-34\sqrt{17}}}}}}}$,

${\displaystyle \sqrt{\frac{15+\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}+\sqrt{68+12\sqrt{17}-2\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}-16\sqrt{34+2\sqrt{17}}+2\sqrt{578-34\sqrt{17}}}}{64-8\sqrt{30+2\sqrt{17}-2\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}+2\sqrt{68+12\sqrt{17}+2\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}+16\sqrt{34+2\sqrt{17}}-2\sqrt{578-34\sqrt{17}}}}}}}$,
${\displaystyle 17\sqrt{\frac{15+\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}+\sqrt{68+12\sqrt{17}-2\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}-16\sqrt{34+2\sqrt{17}}+2\sqrt{578-34\sqrt{17}}}}{256-32\sqrt{30+2\sqrt{17}-2\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}+2\sqrt{68+12\sqrt{17}+2\sqrt{34-2\sqrt{17}}+16\sqrt{34+2\sqrt{17}}-2\sqrt{578-34\sqrt{17}}}}}}}$.
