π can be estimated by computing the perimeters of circumscribed and inscribed polygons. Original: Fredrik Vector: Leszek Krupinski - Own work based on: Archimedes pi.png: by Fredrik Pi approximation This is hardly how Archimedes approximated Pi, he didn't go from regular pentagon to hexagon to octagon, but started with a regular hexagon and doubled the number of sides.
