a formula for π 2 (a definition)

There is no easy way for definition of \pi .
One of the most simplest definition of \pi is using the distance.

You must know \pi is equivalent to the length of a semicircular circumference.
That is, \pi is double the length of the circumference of the quadrant.

The graph C is drawn by the function y=f(x) on the interval x\in[a,b] .
f(x) is differentiable and f'(x) is continuous on [a,b] .
Then, the length l of C is
l=\int_a^b \sqrt{1+f'(x)^2}dx . 

The function of a circular whose center is origin and radius is 1 is
x^2+y^2=1 . 
Thus, the length of quadrant circumference is
l=\int_0^1\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dx 
because
y=\sqrt{1-x^2} , 
y'=-\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} , 
(y')^2=\frac{x^2}{1-x^2} ,   
therefore,
l=\int_0^1\sqrt{1+\frac{x^2}{1-x^2}} dx  .

We will define
2l= 2\int_0^1\frac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}=\pi  .
