Area of a circle to eight sides and so on. For a polygon with 2"n" sides, the parallelogram will have a base of length "ns", and a height "h". As the number of sides increases, the length of the parallelogram base approaches half the circle circumference, and its height approaches the circle radius. In the limit, the parallelogram becomes a rectangle with width "r" and height "r". There are various equivalent definitions of the constant π. The conventional definition in pre-calculus geometry is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter: However, because the circumference of a circle is not a
Circle line (London Underground) the southern portion of the line. Due to conflict between the two companies it was not until October 1884 that the inner circle was completed. The line was electrified in 1905, and in 1933 the companies were amalgamated into the London Passenger Transport Board.
