Recall, π is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its diameter (say d). That is,π = c/d. This seems to contradict the fact that π is irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction?

There is no contradiction in the statement.

When we measure any value with a scale, we only obtain an approximate value.

We never obtain the accurate value.

Hence, we cannot say that either c or d is irrational.

The value of π is almost equal to 22/7 or 3.142857…
