The circumfirance of Peru is bigger than the circumfirance of the UK
Archimedes was the first Western mathematician to make a serious attempt at calculating the value of pi. His estimated, that pi was between 3.1408 and 3.1429.
What do you mean 'finding'? Pi is the ratip of the circumference to the radius of a circle.
Yes and it is for any circle: circumference/diameter = pi

Archimedes (287-212 BC) was the first to have had a serious attempt at calculating pi.
Pi is an irrational number, which means that it goes on forever without repeating. So I can't really give you the exact value. However, there are several ways of calculating pi. in terms of a circle: Pi = Circumference/Diameter for more complicated ways of calculating pi, I would suggest looking at the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

Pi has undoubtedly contributed to math. Pi can be used for calculating circles and was used to measure distances without doing it the harder way....
Take the diameter of the circle times 3.14159 (which is PI).
