How do we get the area of regular polygons?
A regular polygon is equiangular and equilateral. A circle circumscribes the polygon.
Thus, a regular polygon has a center.Radii will divide the polygon into congruent triangles.
How do we get the area of regular polygons?
Let’s say that each side is s.
Determine the area of 1 triangle.
