help-circle


















  • if pi was 3, the area of a circle would be equal to 3 squares with side-length of the radius. this means the definition of a circle would be different, since now a circle is 3 squares. This would break geometry. Since the definition of a circle is the foundation of geometry, and trigonometric functions sin and cos.

    Hmm or maybe if the area of a circle A=r*r*PI and PI = 3 so A=r*r*3 you would just scale the radius by the factor of sqrt(pi)/sqrt(3) = 1.0233267079464885... to get to a correct circle again.

    So you would just scale the universe by a factor slightly larger than 1, up-scaling everything.

    But then the formula for the volume of a sphere V=4/3*pi*r*r*r would break ………
