Base Twelve Geometry and Pi - Dividing the Base Twelve Dodecagon

2 years ago

Part Thirty One - in a series of videos where I am introducing the geometry of the circle from a Base Twelve Geometry perspective. In previous videos I have gone over how to use the geometry of The Dodecagon (a Base Twelve Geometric pattern) to create the pattern for 360 Degrees, and now in this video I am performing the relatively simple long division equation that lies at the heart of this geometric pattern. Is this Pi? This number is intimately connected with the geometry that has been explored in previous videos, which has successfully divided the circle into 360 equal parts - something that doesn't exist in the same way in base ten. Yet if this IS Pi, then this version has distinctly different qualities than the version we are familiar with. And so the question arises - which is the correct version? If this Base Twelve Geometrically based number derived from dividing the diameter of a circle into its circumference isn't Pi, then what is it?
