Thanks

are these regular polygons?

No, they also can be irregular...

Then don't we need to know what type of centre you are
interested in?

Centre of mass of unit weights at the vertices.

Centre or mass of rods of unit mass per unit length making
up the sides of the polygon.

Centre of mass of a lamellar of unit mass per unit area in
the form of the polygon.

Or some other centre?

Since the polygon may be irregular, rat must mean the center of mass, when every vertex point (plural: vertices ) has nonzero mass Then the center of mass lies at the tip of the vector

.

Hope this is ok.
