Base Twelve Geometry and Pi - The Base Twelve Geometry of 360 Degrees

Part Thirty - in a series of videos about the connection of 360 Degrees to Base Twelve Geometry. Although we are all familiar with 360 Degrees, there is little or no awareness within the Math Community as to how to actually create this diagram using geometry. I have shown in the previous videos that the answer to this question lies within the realms of Base Twelve Geometry. Within the process of creating this diagram is the actual process of dividing the diameter of the circle into it's circumference in ever widening rings, generating specific points on the circumference of the circle until reaching the 30th ring, where all 360 degree points reside.

This geometric pattern is supported by another pattern: a type of Dodecagon that appears only within Base Twelve Geometry. In this video I go over the calculation that resides at the heart of this pattern, which gives us the ability to calculate the circumference of the circle a priori. It would seem reasonable to believe that an equation that is derived from dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter would in fact be Pi, and so for this reason I am calling this number generated from this equation, the Base Twelve version of Pi.
