why is pi 3.14…. What is so special about this exact number and how did we know this invite number is a circle?
In: Mathematics
A lot of comments talking about how you derive pi but not why pi is 3.1415… etc. This is just a consequence of how our number system is set up. We do math with a base 10 system so that every number can be described with a combo of those 10 numbers. If we had base 12 number system, pi would look different but it would be the same irrational number because it is described by an unbreakable physical constraint, which is the ratio of a circle’s perimiter to its diameter.
