Did you know you can ‘draw’ a circle using only straight lines?
That video is a clever visual representation of the mathematical concept that a circle can be viewed as the limit of a sequence of regular polygons.
It starts with a single rectangle and, by continuously overlaying and rotating squares or rectangles at varying angles, it creates a “mesh” that gradually fills out a circular shape.
As more straight lines (the edges of the squares) are added, the jagged perimeter smoothens out, illustrating that while a circle is perfectly round, it can be approximated with increasing precision using only straight segments.
This is a nod to calculus and the method of exhaustion, proving that even “round” concepts have a foundational relationship with linear geometry.
