  By viewing the regular $N$-gon as the set of $N$th roots of unity in the
complex plane we transform several questions regarding polygon diagonals into
when a polynomial vanishes when evaluated at roots of unity. To study these
solutions we implement algorithms in Sage as well as examine a trigonometric
diophantine equation. In doing so we classify when a metallic ratio can be
realized as a ratio of polygon diagonals, answering a question raised in a PBS
Infinite Series broadcast. We then generalize this idea by examining the degree
of the number field generated by a given ratio of polygon diagonals.
