Pi/6 = Volume of the inscribed ellipsoid / (Volume of the cuboid (If L1>L2>L3)).

Pi/6 = Volume of the inscribed spheroid / (Volume of the cuboid (If L1>(L2=L3))).

Pi/6 = Volume of the inscribed spheroid / (Volume of the cuboid (If L1<(L2=L3))).

Pi/6 = Volume of the inscribed sphere / (Volume of the regular hexahedron (Or cube)). (End)

Pi/6 = Surface area of the inscribed sphere / (surface area of the regular hexahedron (or cube)). - Omar E. Pol, Nov 13 2007

Formula

From Amiram Eldar, Aug 15 2020: (Start)

Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} 1/(x^2 + 9) dx.

Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} 1/(9*x^2 + 1) dx. (End)

Pi/6 = Sum_{n >= 1} i/(n*P(n,sqrt(-3))*P(n-1,sqrt(-3))), where i = sqrt(-1) and P(n,x) denotes the n-th Legendre polynomial. The first ten terms of the series gives the approximation Pi/6 = 0.52359877559(52...) correct to 11 decimal places - Peter Bala, Mar 16 2024
