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
Mohr's circle points formula_117 on the Mohr circle and the centre of the circle. This double angle relation comes from the fact that the parametric equations for the Mohr circle are a function of formula_35. It can also be seen that the planes formula_80 and formula_81 in the material element around formula_7 of Figure 5 are separated by an angle formula_135, which in the Mohr circle is represented by a formula_136 angle (double the angle). The second approach involves the determination of a point on the Mohr circle called the "pole" or the "origin of planes". Any straight line drawn from the
