Answer:

The circles curcemference can never be measured acurrately as it is curved.

The best aproximation of it is a collection of very small straight lines.

Since the circumference is uncalculable exactly pi is an irrational number

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no contradiction:-

When we measure a length with scale or any other instrument, we only obtain an approximate rational value. We never obtain an exact value.

For this reason, we cannot say that either c or d is irrational.

Therefore, the fraction c/d is irrational. Hence, the value of pie is approximately equal to 22/7= 3.142857....

Therefore,pie is irrational.
