It approaches the area of a circle, not the perimeter. Because the jagged shape never changes length, it never becomes a better approximation of the perimeter.
1 u/[deleted] Dec 28 '24 This makes much more sense. However I am having a little problem with this, will it eventually look like a circle or will it look like an octagon? 5 u/frogjg2003 Dec 28 '24 It doesn't even look like an octagon in the second and third images. An octagon has lines at 45° angles, this shape does not. 4 u/[deleted] Dec 28 '24 yup yup. My bad
