What would be the area of the largest polygon that can be inscribe in a circle whose area is 100 pi?
You can get as close to 100*pi as you like. As you increase the number of sides, the limiting value of the area of the polygon is 100*pi.
What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a polygon and finding the area of a polygon?
Finding the perimeter of a polygon is finding how far it is in total along all the edges of the polygon; whereas finding the area of a polygon is finding how much space the polygon covers. The perimeter of a polygon forms the boundary around the area of the polygon.
What is the amount of surface of a polygon called?
It is the area of a polygon.
What is the area of a four-sided polygon?
The area of a four-sided polygon is base times height.
How do you find area of an irregular polygon?
For example, you can divide the polygon into triangles, and calculate the area of each triangle.
What is the largest polygon?
There is no largest polygon - just as there is no largest number.

How is the formula of a polygon closely related to the formula of the area of a circle?
The area of a polygon is greater than the area of the largest circle that can be inscribed within the polygon and smaller that the area of the smallest circle in which the polygon can be enclosed. So the areas of two circles establish a lower and upper bound to the area of the polygon. In a similar fashion, the perimeter of the polygon are also bounded by the circumferences of the two circles. This also works in reverse. That is, the area of a circle lies between the area of an inscribed polygon and that of a polygon containing the circle. And, again, the same applies to the circumference/perimeter. In fact these bounds were used to calculate the value of pi.
What is an area of a polygon?
area of a polygon is the amount of area inside the polygon. A square is a polygon and its area is the side length squared, ie times itself. Some polygons are harder to find the area of.
What is the largest polygon called and how many sides dose it have?
There is no such thing as a largest polygon, just as there is no largest number. You can always add one more to a number - or add one more side to get a bigger polygon.

What is a polygon region?
A polygon region is the area inside the boundaries of a polygon.
What is the amount of surface of a polygon called?
It is the area of a polygon.
Is a line a polygon?
No, a line is not a polygon. A polygon is a closed plane area bounded by straight sides. A line, by itself, does not contain an area.
Which polygon will have the largest angle sum?
A dodecagon
What is the largest exterior angle that any regular polygon can have?
The largest exterior angle measure is 120o. It is the exterior measure of an equilateral triangle (which is a regular polygon).
What is the area of a four-sided polygon?
The area of a four-sided polygon is base times height.
