PI - Pictorial Explanation

Go back to your school days…; Mathematics class…; Geometry lessons…

Pi or π is a mathematical constant whose value is 3.14159. This is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter.

We all know about the above facts and can give many pages of explanations for the value 3.1.4159.

But the picture given above is sufficient to replace all such explanations.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
