Page 344 - CD. conseconsequently the whole polygon, or all the triangles added together which compose it, is equal to the- rectangle of the common altitude CD, and the halves of all the sides, or the half perimeter of the polygon. Now, conceive the number of sides of the polygon to be indefinitely increased ; then will its perimeter coincide with the circumference of the circle, and consequently the altitude CD will become equal to the radius, and the whole polygon equal to the circle. Consequently the space...
