Area of a Regular Polygon vs Area of a Triangle

A rather simple visual comparison of the formula [math]A = \frac{1}{2}aP[/math] and the formula [math]A = \frac{1}{2}bh[/math] This allows you to unfold the polygon and highlight each of the triangles so the kids can see where the formula comes from.
