Pi is the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. The first and most obvious way to find pi is to measure both the circumference and the diameter. This gives a very rough approximation.

A second way is to use geometry. By fitting regular shapes with large numbers of sides both around and inside the circle we can narrow the boundary for the potential value of pi.

The most accurate way to find pi is to do with its use in certain very complex formulae. Computers are required to determine pi to an infinite decimal place.
