Plz solve this q1 b part now in 2 to 3 hours maximum And take a thumb up plz Thanks in advance.. Solve perfectly plz..
The perimeter of a circumscribed polygon was used to find an approximation for pi by
the ancient Greeks. They used the relationship n = where P is the perimeter of the
regular polygon.
1.
(a)
By considering the right-angled triangle drawn above, find the perimeter of
equilateral triangle, whose sides are 3 tangents to the unit circle (radius 1).
Hence use n = to find an approximation for 1.
We can draw a square such that the perimeter of the square is made up of sides
which are 4 tangents to the unit circle.
(b)
By finding the perimeter of this square find a better approximation for 1t.
