-When the circle’s area and circumference is calculated with the constant 3.2, it becomes clear that the area of an isoperimetric 14‑gon is larger than the circle’s. A flat angle encloses the area differently than the curve. This flips the script: the polygon can enclose more area even with the same perimeter. As the number of sides increases the effect is stronger, so the isoperimetric polygon behaves like a circumscribed figure despite having equal perimeter. This overlooked disproportion shows that polygons do not approach the circle in every sense — above 13 sides, the comparison underestimates the circle.
