I thought pi was arrived at fron cutting a circle into triangles and simplifying the result with and equation...in any event using straight lines (triangles) when there is a curved line in the mix must leave the exact result always an approximation given that curved lines are converted to straight for the sake of approximation.
And so I ask why all the fuss pi must always contain a small flaw I would expect..no matter how many triangles you use to describe the circumfrence there will be an small sector ?segment? left out of pi.....
