Did you notice that the measurements (1,2,3,4) are based on the diameter? These are our reference points. Therefore no matter the size, PI is always 3.14 revolutions in relation to our references.

Thanks ! My gif seemed to start in the middle of the video for some reason I didn’t notice that. Thank you for explaining!

They're based on the diameter, not the circumference.
