This app shows a way to find the value of PI using a limit. As the number of sides in a regular polygon increases, the perimeter gets closer to the value of 2*radius*PI. From this, PI can be determined to be:

limit as n->infinity for 2*r*n*sin(180/n)

Where n is the number of sides and r is the radius.
