Page1-1anim.gif (18568 byte)Consider two series of regular polygons inscribed and circumscribed to the circle.

If a1, a2, a3...an are the areas of n edges regular polygons inscribed in the circle and  A1, A2, A3...An   those of circumscribed regular polygons, it's possible to demonstrate two series be contiguous series of real numbers.

So we can give the following definition:

Circle area is the number fixed by two contiguous series of real numbers corresponding to areas of regular polygons inscribed and circumscribed to the circle.
