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.
