How does the area change of a polyhedra as the number of faces go up but circumference stays the same?

Asked by timetogo (27points) January 29th, 2011

So imagne we have a very simple polyhedra, I’m not too sure if they would concider an edge from one vertex to another and back again a polyhedra, if not start off with a triangle.

The circumference of this equalatral trangle is 1.
Increase the number of sides keeping all sides the same length and at the same angle.
So next a square then a pentagon and so on.

Is there a graph to show me how the area changes with each face?
