>>1 That was on a ViHart video, silly. Did you not hear her explain the concept that since infinity is a surreal number, the shape you have there will never reach an actual circle. Saying "Repeat to infinity" is stupid, you'll never reach infinity.

So technically, it will be "infinitely close to" but never a circle. Which means that picture is wrong. And you're wrong for making this thread.

Like what >>2 said, it's never going to be exactly like the circle, and the integer 4 shown is just Pi rounded up. Think of the concept of 0.999... not equaling 1 because the next number does not have enough value to change the number before, hence it continues to infinite. No matter how much squares you cut, it will never reach the value of the circle, which is why Pi continues forever, as the square cutting process gets closer and closer to it's goal of the real perimeter of the circle, but never actually reaching it.
