Area of a circle each polygon side is a radius, of length "r". And since the total side length is greater than the circumference, the polygon consists of "n" identical triangles with total area greater than "T". Again we have a contradiction, so our supposition that "C" might be less than "T" must be wrong as well. Therefore, it must be the case that the area enclosed by the circle is precisely the same as the area of the triangle. This concludes the proof. Following Satō Moshun and Leonardo da Vinci , we can use inscribed regular polygons in a different way. Suppose we
Circumference Circumference In geometry, the circumference (from Latin "circumferentia", meaning "carrying around") of a circle is the (linear) distance around it. That is, the circumference would be the length of the circle if it were opened up and straightened out to a line segment. Since a circle is the edge (boundary) of a disk, circumference is a special case of perimeter. The perimeter is the length around any closed figure and is the term used for most figures excepting the circle and some circular-like figures such as ellipses. Informally, "circumference" may also refer to the edge itself rather than to the
