Polygon Calculus
Divide A Polygon Into 12 Pieces.
The Thickness Of Each Slice Is Proportional To The Radius (10 For Example).
Hence, 10 x SIN(360° / 12) / SIN(90° - (180° / 12)) = 5.17638090205041
Multiply That By 12
12 x 5.17638090205041 = 62.11657082
That Almost Equals The Circle Circumference.
2 x π x 10 = 62.8318530717959
Increase The Number Of Slices To Get A Closer Circumference.
