Math Visualizations: III

A polygon is a plane figure of line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain in geometry. The segments of a closed polygonal chain are called its edges or sides. An n-gon is a polygon with n sides. (source: Wikipedia)

Polygons

Polygons are handy objects which can be used to construct a closed area with arbitrarily many points (minimum is three). Polygons can be convex or concave, depending on the input points

Observe the transformation of a polygon into a circle. It is clearly visible that a polygon transforms into a circle as its number of sides (\(n\)) increases above 20. But, look at the area. What do you think? Does the area of the polygon increase or decrease as its number of sides (\(n\)) increases.
