Definition Of Pi ,

In Euclidean plane geometry, is defined as the ratio of a circles circumference to its diameter:

The ratio c / d is constant, regardless of a circles size. For example, if a circle has t ice the diameter d of another circle, it ill also ha!e t ice the circumference C, preser!ing the ratio c / d. "lternati!ely can also defined as the ratio of a circles area #"$ to the area of a s%uare hose side is e%ual to the radius :

= A / r2
These definitions depend on the results of Euclidean geometry, such as the fact that all circle are similar. This can &e considered a pro&lem hen occurs in areas of mathematics that other ise do not in!ol!e geometry. For this one reason, mathematicians often prefer to define ithout reference to geometry, instead selecting one of its analytic properties as a definition. " common choice is to define as t ice the smallest positi!e x for hich cos (x) = 0.
