Also if I was trying to compute the area in the circle, I would break it up into an huge numbers of triangles which would create a shape with a huge number of sides.

However if you did that to an infinitely small triangle the side would be zero length with the area being zero. So a circle is a mystic shape that defies easy understanding mathematically.
