Approximating Pi with Inscribed Polygons

​
show triangles
number of sides
Increase the number of sides of the polygon to see it approximate the unit circle. As the number of sides increases, the area of the polygon approximates the area of a circle with increasing accuracy, showing that the value of π can be estimated with regular polygons.
