    As the number of sides increases, it becomes a more accurate approximation of a circle. After four such steps, when the polygons had 96 sides each, he was able to determine that the value of π lay between 3 ⁠ 1 / 7 ⁠ (approx. 3.1429) and 3 ⁠ 10 / 71 ⁠ (approx. 3.1408), consistent with its actual value of approximately 3.1416.
