Polygon Limit Exploration (Archimedes Method)

Looking at LTF Polygons in a Circle, this applet will assist in completing the exercise.[br][br]The circle on the screen is a unit circle; however, you can change the radius to match any value you measure up to 8 units. The table will give the results up to a 100-gon.[br][br]Table format from LTF activity on Limits of a Polygon in a Circle (NMSI Module 16 of LTF).[br][br]Triangle ABC is triangle formed by the point A and any side of the polygon. The area of the polygon is the number of sides times the area of Triangle ABC.[br][br]If you expand the radius of the circle and can no longer see the figure, click mouse on point A and scroll the figure in and out...[br][br]As the perimeter of the polygon approaches a circle, the ratio of the perimeter to diameter approached what well known value? ____________
