Intersection of random chords and the Dilogarithm

In 1961, Jovan Karamata proved a remarkable identity involving the Dilogarithm function and intersection of diagonals of regular polygons. We reframe the problem and give different proofs for the result. We also investigate what happens when we consider different approaches to it.
