Yes, the center of a regular polygon is indeed the center of its inscribed circle, also known as the incircle. In a regular polygon, all sides and angles are equal, and the incircle is tangent to each side at exactly one point. This means that the center of the polygon coincides with the center of the circle that fits perfectly within it, touching all sides.
What else can I help you with?
What is circumscribed area and inscribed area of regular polygon?
circumscribed means the polygon is drawn around a circle, and inscribed means the polygon is drawn inside the circle. See related links below for polygon circumscribed about a circle and polygon inscribed in a circle.
What is the center of a regular polygon is the center of the included circle?
In a regular polygon, the center is the point that is equidistant from all vertices, and it serves as the center of the inscribed circle (incircle). This incircle is tangent to each side of the polygon, meaning it touches each side at exactly one point. The radius of this incircle is the distance from the center to any of these tangent points. Thus, the center of a regular polygon is also the center of the circle that fits perfectly inside it.
What is a true statement about a circle inscribed in a regular polygon?
The circle has a smaller area than the polygon.
How do you find out if the polygon of a circle is regular or not?
I assume you mean a polygon inscribed in a circle. It is regular if all its sides and angles are equal.
When constructing inscribed polygon?
When constructing an inscribed polygon, you begin by drawing a circle, which will serve as the circumcircle for the polygon. Next, evenly divide the circumference of the circle into the desired number of equal segments, corresponding to the number of sides of the polygon. Finally, connect these points with straight lines to form the inscribed polygon, ensuring that each vertex lies on the circumference of the circle. This method guarantees that the polygon is both regular and symmetrical.
What is circumscribed area and inscribed area of regular polygon?
circumscribed means the polygon is drawn around a circle, and inscribed means the polygon is drawn inside the circle. See related links below for polygon circumscribed about a circle and polygon inscribed in a circle.

A Polygon whose vertices are on a circle and whose other points are inside the circle?
Inscribed Polygon
How do you find out if the polygon of a circle is regular or not?
I assume you mean a polygon inscribed in a circle. It is regular if all its sides and angles are equal.
What does this mean when a circle is inscribed in a regular polygon?
Nothing particular. One of the properties of regular polygons - however many sides - is that it can have a circle inscribed in it.
What is an inscribed polygon?
A circle with a polygon in it An inscribed polygon is any polygon that can fit within a specific curve or circle.
A circle inside a polygon where each side of the polygon is tangent to the circle?
the circle is inscribed in the polygon

How is an apothem different from a radius?
An apothem is a line drawn perpendicular to a side of a regular polygon from the center of the polygon. A polygon is not a circle so it cannot have a radius. The radius of a circle is drawn from the center to any point in the circumference of the circle. You can draw a circle which encloses the regular polygon touching all vertices. The polygon is said to be inscribed in the circle. The apothem will be less than the radius because the radius is not perpendicular to any side, it can be drawn to a vertex but the apothem is perpendicular to a side, so it is shorter. Ex: draw a square with a circle which inscribes it. You can see that the apothem will be less than the radius.
If a circle is tangent to each side of a given polygon then?
the circle is inscribed in the polygon :]
What is inscribed in a circle?
usually a polygon
