It has been found that there is a direct and indirect measurement of that number. To perform such a measurement, a selection was made of some mathematical and physical quantities which within themselves contain a number π. One such quantity is a straight angle Pi, which may be expressed as Pi = π rad. By measuring the angle, using the direct method, we determine the number π as π = arccos(-1). To implement an indirect measurement of the number π, a system consisting of a container with liquid and equating it with the measuring pot has been conceived. The accuracy of measurement by this method depends on the precision performance of these elements of the system.展开更多
