.
Tania took 10 steps to walk across the tether ball circle.
This is a measure of the diameter using Tania's steps as a unit of measure.
.
Tania took 31 steps to walk around the circle.
This the measure of the circumference using Tania's steps
The number of diameters in the circumference:
circumference_steps%2Fdiameter_steps%29=31_steps%2F10_steps=3.1
The answer here should approximate pi.
