ESTIMATING
The average perimeter of the polygons my estimate of is 6.464? What kind of estimate is this? Where have I gone wrong? I know the formula for the circumference of a circle is: C = 2r Since Im using perimeter in the above calculations, lets use it here, too. And if my assumption was r = 1, I have:

PROBLEMS
The following three problems each have a CHECK (to make sure youve done the problem right). Once youve confirmed youve done the problem right, theres a KEY. The key is necessary to unlock the next installment.

PROBLEM 1 When 18-sided polygons are used, we get an estimate of . When 36-sided polygons are used, we get a better estimate of . How much better?

PROBLEM 2 If were using 30-sided polygons to find an estimate of , what is the sin(relevant angle)?
