# Is this Pi?... I'm afraid to work out the two triangles with question marks

#### SDK

What does it mean to find pi? I'm not sure what you are claiming to have done. I found pi as well. It's right there -------->$\pi$.

Picture to come with new angles, it's pi... Here, I'll hold your hand through it. Try to keep up, you haven't seen the new pictures with the new angles used here, but you can imagine them, or get your paper out. (i make for you picture in two days, Okay?)

Pretty sure it's not.
I'm glad you're pretty sure it's not
there's all you little snots
all you gotta do is look
i could write a big book

You're taking your chances saying nay.
You take your chances every day.

You're busted wide open. This is pi.

Quickly say again without looking that this is not Pi.

Argue with me more and sink yourself.

you think about how many people are going to see you and what you said when they come in here wanting to see the real Pi. they'll get a kick out of you.

#### Yidna

i drop the picture in less than 48 hours.

it's got a lot of info on it... I make it so you can see it all.

#### DarnItJimImAnEngineer

Your method may or may not be valid for finding pi. I honestly have no idea. The point people are making is that the decimal value you claim as pi is not correct. It's already off at the third digit. We've known the approximate decimal value of pi for a long time (3.1415926535898... and that's all I can ever have been bothered to remember). There are rational approximations from four millenia ago that are closer than your proposed value.

On a side note, are you using a 128-bit calculator? Where do you even get one? Did you write it yourself?

Yidna: That's one (Swear) of a typo then. Maybe you should check those figures just one more time.

Or are you saying that you have actually developed a new value for pi? pi isn't a number that is calculated by simple measurements any more so there is really no real room for debate on the value. And, hey, even the Greeks knew that pi was about 3.14. Your value of 3.12 just doesn't cut it.

I am happy to go on record that your number is wrong. (Not that I merely believe it's wrong, it's that it is definitely wrong.)

Of Solving Triangle GHI Page 3

Side h = side b/2. Side h = 0.146446609406726237799577818947575480357582031155

Side g known. = sqrt(2)/2 = 0.707106781186547524400844362104849039284835937688

i^2 = g^2 + h^2 - 2gh cosI

i^2 = 0.375

Continuing, i/sinI =g/sinG = h/sinH, to find the smaller angle (H).

i/sinI = 0.866025403784438646763723170752936183471402626904

h/i/sinI = sinH = 0.169101978725762748142934768050975556986610504493

Angle H = 9.735610317245345684622999669981217981503421550394

Now, (180 degrees â€“ angle H â€“ angle I = angle G)

Angle G = 125.2643896827546543153770003300187820184965784496
