Theoretically this is correct.

However, since it uses 'infinity' we will never know.

the line of the circumference is still crossing over the corners made by that perimeter. It is always going to be a shorter trip around the shape.

>> No.4137740

With the circle you are constantly decreasing the 'perimeter' by cutting off corners. The perimeter tends towards pi the more corners you cut off but will obviously never reach it
