Why do $4cdot 2^nsinfrac{45}{2^n}$, $2cdot 2^nsinfrac{90}{2^n}$, and $1cdot 2^nsinfrac{180}{2^n}$ all tend to...

I am not sure what question or inquiries to ask actually, but I just think this is really awesome




Can someone explain to me why the graphs of
$$4cdot 2^nsinfrac{45}{2^n}, qquad 2cdot 2^nsinfrac{90}{2^n}, qquadtext{and}qquad 1cdot 2^nsinfrac{180}{2^n}$$
all tend to $pi$?

Because $sin x approx x$ when $x$ is small and measured in radians. When $x$ is measured in degrees $sin x approx frac {pi x}{180}.$ When $n$ gets large the argument of $sin$ becomes small.

This is due to $lim_{h to 0}frac{sin h}h = 1$.



Hence begin{align}lim_{n to infty}4 cdot 2^n cdot sinleft(frac{45^circ}{2^n}right)&=lim_{n to infty}4 cdot 2^n cdot sinleft(frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}right) \
&=lim_{n to infty}4 cdot 2^n cdot frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}cdot frac{sinleft(frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}right)}{frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}} \
&=lim_{n to infty}4 cdot 2^n cdot frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}cdot lim_{n to infty}frac{sinleft(frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}right)}{frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}} \
&= pi cdot 1\
&= piend{align}



Similarly for the other sequences.



That is we have



$$lim_{n to infty}w cdot 2^n cdot sin left( frac{180^circ}{wcdot 2^n}right)=pi$$

This is due to $lim_{h to 0}frac{sin h}h = 1$.



Hence begin{align}lim_{n to infty}4 cdot 2^n cdot sinleft(frac{45^circ}{2^n}right)&=lim_{n to infty}4 cdot 2^n cdot sinleft(frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}right) \
&=lim_{n to infty}4 cdot 2^n cdot frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}cdot frac{sinleft(frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}right)}{frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}} \
&=lim_{n to infty}4 cdot 2^n cdot frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}cdot lim_{n to infty}frac{sinleft(frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}right)}{frac{pi}{2^{n+2}}} \
&= pi cdot 1\
&= piend{align}



Similarly for the other sequences.



That is we have



$$lim_{n to infty}w cdot 2^n cdot sin left( frac{180^circ}{wcdot 2^n}right)=pi$$
