Doubles Multiplication

So I am trying to get the perimeter of a regular polygon, but when I multiply the number of sides times the length of a side, its rounding. How do I keep it from rounding? I made both the side number and length doubles, and I tried using setprecision and fixed. What am I doing wrong?

line 47 and 49: int.

a regular polygon: number of sides should be an int. Only the length needs to be double.

int * double will give a double as the result.
