The picture below shows regular polygons whose length from center to any vertex is staying a constant 1 inch. As the number of sides increases, what should the perimeter of the regular polygons approach and why?

Exercise #4: The picture below shows regular polygons whose length from center to any vertex is staying a
constant 1 inch. As the number of sides increases, what should the perimeter of the regular polygons approach
and why?
n=4
n=6
n=8
n=10
n=15
The perimeters of these polygons can be found using right triangle trigonometry as we did in the last lesson.
