Some Notes on Root of Unity

Let $a_,\dots,a_n$ be positive real numbers and let $\omega$ be a primitive nth root of unity. If the sides of an equiangular polygon have lengths $a_,\dots,a_n$ (in counterclockwise order) then
$$1+\omega+\omega^2+\dots+\omega^{n-1}=0$$;
$$a_1 + a_2 \omega +a_3 \omega ^2+ \dots + a_n \omega^{n-1}=0$$.
