a. Inscribe a regular n-sided polygon inside a circle of radius 1 and compute the area of one of the n congruent triangles formed by drawing radii to the vertices of the polygon. b. Compute the limit of the area of the inscribed polygon as n → 0. c. Repeat the computations in parts (a) and (b) for a circle of radius r.
