A regular polygon inscribed in a circle can be used to derive the formula for the area of a circle. The polygon area can be expr
essed in terms of the area of a triangle.
Let s be the side length of the polygon,
let r be the hypotenuse of the right triangle,
let h be the height of the triangle, and
let n be the number of sides of the regular polygon.
polygon area = n(1/2sh)
Which statement is true?
A. - As h increases, ns gets closer to 2πr.
B. - As s increases, ns gets closer to 2πr.
C. - As r increases, ns gets closer to 2πr
D. - As n increases, ns gets closer to 2πr.

For our convenience let h=x+1
therefore
when x tends to -1, h tends to 0
hence we can rewrite it as
This inequality is of the form 1∞
We will now apply the formula
plugging in the values of g(x) and f(x)
express coth² as cosh²/sinh² and also write cosh-1 as 2sin²(h/2)
(by applying the property that cos2x=1-sin²x)
After this multiply the numerator and denominator with h² so that we can apply the property that
Now your equation will look like this.
We will now apply the result
where x=h²
we get
we now multiply the numerator and denominator with 4 so that we can say
Apply the limits and you will get
Hope this helps.
