Concept-
A regular polygon's total surface area is 360o. Take advantage of the equilateral triangle, which has the greatest number of dimensions and is the easiest polygon to understand. Let's have a look at a polygon with the minimum number of sides, i.e., 3.
As we already know, a simple polygon with 3 numbers of sides is a triangle.
Also, we are familiar with this,
