How Polygons Helped Discover Pi (π)

A long time ago, before calculators and pizza slices, a smart thinker named Archimedes used shapes to figure out Pi (π)!

He drew polygons with more and more sides around a circle.
The more sides he added, the closer it looked to a circle.

Eventually, he realised:
“A circle is just a polygon with infinite sides!”

And with that, he figured out how to measure a circle’s curve—giving us Pi!

Now you're watching the magic unfold... from 3 sides all the way to 16!
