Area Of Regular Polygon Proof

An illustration showing that the area of a regular polygon is equal to the area of a triangle whose base is equal to the sum of all the sides, and the height a equal to the appotem of the polygon. “The reason of this is that the area of two or more triangles ABC and ADC having a common or equal base b and equal height h are alike.”
