Why do teachers say that Pi is infinite?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) October 20th, 2011

If a solid circular object exists in reality then it must end specifically. The distance can’t be less than one atom without becoming absurd (right)? Also how is Pi calculated? I was taught that you just get 22 divided by 7 to get Pi… isn’t it weird that you can get a specific number for is universal constant only when you have exactly 22 divided by 7.
