Question 445655: I know thet each polygon below circumscribes the circle...but how do I find the perimater of the polygon? Found 2 solutions by rfer, richard1234:Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the fact that if there are two tangent lines meeting at a point outside the circle, then the lengths from that point to the point of tangencies are equal. For example, in the first diagram, given the 9 cm length, the length of the segment directly counter-clockwise that segment is also 9 cm.
