is there such a thing as a polygon with a perimeter of pi?

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 12 22:48:22 2012 No.4964861 Yes, a sqaure with pi/4 long sides.

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 12 22:50:23 2012 No.4964866 >>4964861 Or any regular n-gon with pi/n length sides.

>>	Anonymous Sun Aug 12 22:53:22 2012 No.4964871 >>4964865 easy: take a square with side's length = 1 the diagonal is sqrt(2). Divide the diagonal in 2 if you want, and then on half in two. You got a nice line of length sqrt(2)/4, which is pretty mahfakking irrational.
