<p style="margin:12px;">The constant relationship between a circle's circumference and its diameter has captivated mathematicians for millennia.

While its approximate value of 3.14, commonly denoted by the Greek letter π, is widely recognized today, the historical development of this concept is less understood.

Ancient civilizations grappled with this geometric challenge, employing various methods to approximate this ratio.

His approach was that the ratio between the perimeter and the diameter of a circle can be estimated by comparing the circumference of the circle to the perimeters of an inscribed and a circumscribed polygon.

The polygons can be divided into triangles. The ratio between the legs of the triangles and their hypotenuses can be measured linearly.

The idea is that the area of the circle equals to the area of the square. Looking for the ratio between the length of the side, I could denote the side of the square as 1, and compare the radius to that, or denote the radius as 1 and express the side compared to that.
