You need about the first 9 digits (14 digits if you're really anal) of Pi for the area of any "circle" you'll come across in the real world to approximate its area to a meaningful degree of accuracy.
We are allowed to describe something as an imperfect circle arent we?

But it is clearly definable because it's one of the three photo processors in our human retinas. So it is a real tangible thing, as to how light gets processed - but not as to how light is made up.
