Nice solution to m y first porblem I posted :) I am gonna write a solution later on today. I have used a more geometric approach.
This is the formula deduced by Archimedes to determine the value of π .
Hey, pi is not equal to 3.14.
Let's take a look at the first quadrant of the unit circle. Let's divide the angle of 9 0 ∘ into n equals angles. If we connect the sides of these n corners, we will find n congruent triangles with 2 legs of length 1. We want to calculate the area of one triangle. To do that we need to find a base and a height. Let's call the base the opposite of the known angel of n 9 0 ∘ . Then with the sine rule we can calculate the length of the base: b a s e = s i n ( 9 0 ∘ − 2 n 4 5 ∘ s i n ( n 9 0 ∘ ) ) . For the height we draw a line perpendicalur on the base. Now we can calculate the height by using the formula for the sinus: s i n ( 9 0 ∘ − 2 n 4 5 ∘ ) = 1 h e i g h t = h e i g h t . So the area of 1 triangle now is: 2 1 ⋅ s i n ( 9 0 ∘ − 2 n 4 5 ∘ ) ⋅ s i n ( 9 0 ∘ − 2 n 4 5 ∘ ) s i n ( n 9 0 ∘ ) = 2 1 s i n ( n 9 0 ∘ ) . Now since we have n triangles in the first quarter, we have a total area of n ⋅ 2 1 s i n ( n 9 0 ∘ ) . Now it we take l i m n → ∞ we find the total area of the first quadrant. From the formula for the area if this quadrant we now that this equals 4 π , so:
l i m n → ∞ 2 n s i n ( n 9 0 ∘ ) = 4 π .
Now we know: l i m n → ∞ 2 n s i n ( n 9 0 ∘ ) = 4 ⋅ 4 π = π .
Your title gave it away...
You say that π = 3 . 1 4 , but π is not equal to 3 . 1 4 because it is irrational.

Here we know that l i m n → ∞ 2 n s i n ( n 9 0 ∘ )
So now LaTeX: l i m n → ∞ 2 n 1 s i n ( n 9 0 ∘ )
Lets take n 1 = m
So l i m m → 0 2 m s i n ( 9 0 ∘ m )
So Now 9 0 ∘ = 2 π
So rewriting
l i m m → 0 2 m s i n ( 2 π m )
Now Multiplying 2 π to denominator and numerator we get,
l i m m → 0 2 2 π 2 π m s i n ( 2 π m )
Now we know that l i m x → 0 x sin x = 1
So l i m m → 0 2 2 π 2 π m s i n ( 2 π m ) = 2 . 2 π
So Limit = π = 3 . 1 4 (Upto two decimal places)
