Remember the mathematical constant named pi? They claim to "prove" it via calculus. Measure the circumference to diameter ratio of a coin, then think about that. Their conventional sphere volume formula is about one third off, but they "prove" it via calculus.

This is why you should never use pi=3.14... The area of a circle equals the area of a concentric square only if the arc divides the sides into 4 equal parts. That makes the side to radius ratio 4 / √5.

Allegedly, that person turned basic geometry into the mess it is today. Everything built on that is messed up — including "real" analysis and physics. It's not just about difficulty; it's about deviant philosophy presented as "real" science.

Verifying that it's an identity; not tautology: Note, that the arc intersects the sides exactly at their quarters only if side / radius = 4 / √5.

The arc intersects the sides of a concentric square at its quarters only if side/radius=4/√5, hence 3.2r² is the only true area balance ratio.
"Debunked..." My ass. It's much more like I have debunked the academic community as a bunch of degenerate liers and fraudsters. You just need to pull your heads out of their butts to see it.

The area of a circle from a different perspective. ⭕📐
3.2radius² is the exact area of a circle. From that 3.2diameter is the exact circumference. Confirmed via measurements. The wise insist that can't be, because their theoretical circumscribed polygon limits it to about 3.14. Their polygon is not as circumscribed as they think.

To those who understand how the mathematical constant named pi was *theoretically approximated* this single post should make it clear why that approach is fundamentally and critically flawed. The reply is open for transparent empirical measurement data. Not for academic rubbish.

The polygon approximation of the pi doubles the side count of a circumscribed hexagon repeatedly via angle bisection. But when the sides become short enough, their points coincide with the arc. Hence they cease to be upper limits.

Mainstream geometry insists that a tangent line can always be drawn. A tangent line coincides with a circle only at a single point. Yet, when attempting to circumscribe a 24-sided polygon about a circle, each side coincides with the arc along a significant section.
