The word converge always confused me here when learning English. It's not like the edges of a circular polygon "converge" even in a hypothetically perfect circle. They more....blend together, or lose their edge. Either way maybe I've never properly understood the term.
- yuriks 3y agoWhat converges is the resulting value of the calculation. As you add more lines the approximate result (of the circumference) gets closer and closer to the true answer. It's not necessarily referring to the geometric shape of the polygon. (Though you can also see it as, if you take any given point on the circumference of the polygon, as you add more segments, that point will get closer and closer to the true edge of a circle.)
