Basically they aren't.
No computer can store an irrational number with complete accuracy.
No physical measurement can do the same.
Quantum physics tells us we can't even get close (only 35 or so decimal places).
So circles (with irrational Pi) in the natural world are just polygons (if that) with many sides, etc.
