The individual who can then be said as the one who discovered pi is
Archimedes since he is the first one to compute the value of the pi
quite accurately. The man who discovered pi did so by comparing the
perimeters of two polygons inscribed in a single circle; one is outside
the circle and the other inside. The ratio of the bigger polygon’s
perimeter with the smaller one’s will then be equivalent to the one
between a circle’s circumference and its diameter. Archimedes did this
technique to a total of 96 polygons and he got the average ratio, which
is 3.14185. The value may not be spot on and only correct up to two
decimal places but it is an improvement nonetheless over the computed
values that the civilizations before him came up with.
