There's just an infinite amount of corners that sticks out permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] marcos@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 child) There’s just an infinite amount of corners that sticks out Yes. And that means that it is not an approximation of the circumference. But it approximates the area of the circle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] RandomStickman@kbin.run 6 points 2 years ago True, thanks for the correction permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 years ago It's a fractal problem, even if you repeat the cutting until infinite, there are still a roughness with little triangles which you must add to Pi, there are no difference between image 4 and 5, the triangles are still there, smaller but more. But it's a nice illusion. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) Because you never make a circle. You just make a polygon with a perimeter of four and an infinite number of sides as the number of sides approaches infinity. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago But if you made a regular polygon, with the number of sides approaching infinity, it would work. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) https://youtu.be/VYQVlVoWoPY permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago* Exactly what I was expecting haha(I mean the video) permalink fedilink source parent [–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) The lines in this are askew and it's mildly annoying permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago They're there to askew why the logic doesn't work. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dippy@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago Does this work with triangles too? permalink fedilink source parent [–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 0 points 2 years ago That approach works for area but not for perimeter, because cutting off the corners gives you a shape whose area is closer to the circle's, but it doesn't change the perimeter at all. permalink fedilink source parent
