I'm more than my brother but have less

Question

We are two brothers
bounded by a circle
I'm his double
but he has twice more legs than me

What are we?

This is my first riddle, and if anything should be unclear or two broad, I'd like to apologize for that in advance. — yunzen, Jan 18 '19 at 10:03

I think this is a play on something around

pi ($\pi$) and tau ($\tau$) both circle ratios.

I'm his double but he has twice more legs than me

$\tau = 2\pi$ but $\pi$ has twice the number of legs of $\tau$.
