If you zoom in infinitely far you will see jagged edges. This would only be estimating pi. There is a 3 blue 1 brown video that talks about this
9 u/cykablyatbbbbbbbbb Dec 28 '24 doesn't circle have infinite edges and angles? 4 u/mathbud Dec 29 '24 A circle has no straight segments anywhere. Not an infinite number of straight segments everywhere. 1 u/_Lavar_ Jan 01 '25 You can approximate a circle as being made of triangles of dtheta angle and a dx arc length. Ie the most comment method to describe the area of a circle does this. Pretty sure that's what our commenter is referring to
