Circumference and Diameter: Polygon Approximation of Pi

2014-02-21 07:40
This GeoGebra example demonstrates the relationship between a circle's circumference and its diameter, illustrating the geometric derivation of pi (π). Using circles, inscribed or circumscribed polygons, vectors, and trigonometric functions (including tangent), combined with the Sequence command for progressive subdivision, the construction approximates the circumference through polygon perimeters
