I think it’s because no matter how many corners you cut it’s still an approximation of the circumference area. There’s just an infinite amount of corners that sticks out
That approach works for area but not for perimeter, because cutting off the corners gives you a shape whose area is closer to the circle’s, but it doesn’t change the perimeter at all.
Also
Omfg why can’t I figure out why this does not work. Help me pls
I think it’s because no matter how many corners you cut it’s still an approximation of the
circumferencearea. There’s just an infinite amount of corners that sticks outYes. And that means that it is not an approximation of the circumference.
But it approximates the area of the circle.
