Pi can be equal to whatever you want, as long as you’re using a number base that accounts for it. Pi is only an irrational number because base-10 is a rational base. You could create a number base that sets pi equal to 1, if you wanted.
That’s exactly my point. A base pi system would have pi equal to 1. In a base pi number system, a circle with a radius of 1 would have a circumference of 10. A radius of 10 would be a circumference of 100. Etc… Pi (and the relationship between a circle’s radius and circumference) only normally requires complex math because base 10 is a rational number base.

what if i make a base pi system?
