APPLICATIONS OF POLYGONS AND CIRCLES

In this unit, you will investigate some interesting applications of polygons and circles. You will first determine the area of any given regular polygon and explore what happens to the shape of a polygon as the number of sides increase. You will also examine the area formula and how it is derived from an infinite number of sides in a regular polygon. You will then look at geometric probability based on length and area. The final part of this unit is investigating graph theory which is a study of networks that connect nodes with straight or curved paths.

Below are additional educational resources and activities for this unit.
