Circular arc approximation using polygons (Q2628354)

The approximation of geometric figures using constructing chords is a commonly known method. The most common approach for approximating circular arcs is based on the division of an arc with equal chords but such a construction does not preserve the areas of figures. ``This article presents a method of approximating an arc using a polygon. The method uses the condition that the approximated arc describes equal surface areas of the circular sector. The method described in this article ensures that the polygons obtained by approximation have the same area as the original geometric figure.''
