who invented PI

[ICIT2LOL]

I have relearned something thanks to Golden ( Angle of Repose). Very interesting when one reads from complex things that man builds to insects little building projects.
Thanks Golden.
My three brain cells are not able to absorb the complexities of
pie at this time. I'm still working on 2+2=4 except in politics.

Plus a cure for two brain cell idiots??

The "diameter" of a uniform regular polygon is proportional to its perimeter (eg a square as a starting point). Take it to the limit and you get a circle. Change the base of your number system and I don't think 3.1459.... is that significant of a constant.

It will still be significant but written in a different way

Binary 11.00100101010110011011001111010000
Hexadecimal 3.2559B3D07C84B5DCC63F14
Decimal 3.1459

Eh yes!
I admit my wording was poor. My intent was to stress it was a fixed ratio of two geometric dimensions independent of the representation base and it can be proven from the most basic geometric arguments.

pi to more decimal places than you will ever need:

however 3.141592654 is more accurate than you will ever need.
