Step 1:

\

Regular polygons tend to look like someone tried to make a circle out of some straight lines.

\

In fact, if you have a polygon with very many sides, it looks a lot like a circle from a distance.

\

The sides and vertices are evenly spread around a central point, and regular polygons are convex all the vertices point " outwards ".

\

In the regular polygon, we can change the number of sides using the controls on the right of the polygon.

\

An interesting thing to note is that once the number of sides is quite high (say more than 17) the shape begins to look a lot like a circle.

\

In fact, as you keep adding sides, the area of the polygon, the area of its incircle, and the area of its circumference all converge on the same value.
