Experimentally Calculating Pi
Because the diameter of a circle is related to the circumference of a circle, we can find this constant relationship by measuring several lids and fitting a regression line to the data. The slope of this line is pi. This is a great activity to allow students to discover that Pi is the relations...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/experimentally-calculating-pi
Similar Triangles and Proportions
