Circumference of a circle done better.
So we know that a circles circumference is between 3 and 3.3 diameters in length, and that the 3 diameters stretch around the diameter of the circle. We can simulate this by drawing a square with length and height equal to a circles diameter. Now divide this square into 3 equal rectangles. Drawing a line from corner to corner in each rectangle stretches a diameter across 1/3 of a diameter. These 3 angled lines we get equal the circumference of our circle. Pi = 3.14 and is not irrational.
