Yes, pi is known with very high accuracy (to thousands of decimal digits). However, it is not possible to express it precisley using any finite number of decimal digits.

What is the sixteenth number in Pi?

The sixteenth decimal place (to the right) of Pi is the number 2. However, Pi to only 11 places to the right of the decimal is accurate for a circle the circumference of the earth to within 1 mm. Pi to 16 places is: 3.1415926535897932


What is the most accurate fraction for pi?

Pi, being irrational, has an endless number of digits to the right of the decimal, as you know. But for almost any application, even basic engineering, a value of 3.1417 is highly accurate.

How many digits long is pi?

An INFINITE number. Computers have calculated 'pi' to billions of places and still going. However for everyday school learning pi = 3.14 or pi = 22/7 . For more accurate calculations pi = 3.1416 . This is used in science, technology and engineering.


How do you divide by pi when pi is an infinite number?

(Pi) is not an 'infinite number'. It just can't be written exactly with any finite number of digits. But there are plenty of digits available, to make your division as accurate as you want it. You can never get an exact answer, just like you can never write the exact value of (pi), but you can get as close as anyone will ever need to get.

Why is it not possible to work out the accurate area of a circle when given its diameter?

The formula for the area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. The number pi is only used in an approximate form, since the decimal expansion of pi is infinitely long and non-repeating. Consequently, all calculations of the area of a circle are also approximate. However, you can be as accurate as you want to be. Pi has been calculated to thousands of decimal places, which is ridiculously more than you would ever need for any practical purpose. In most cases, the approximation of pi as 3.14 is close enough. Your result will be accurate, it just won't be 100% accurate.


What is the area of a circle with a radius of 1.5?

A = (pi)r2 A = (3.141592654)(2.25) A = 7.068583471 u2 *note* this answer is not completely accurate as pi is a non-terminating number it would perhaps be better to express answer as 2.25pi


How many decimals of pi have been found?

Because pi is an irrational number (meaning that the numbers after the decimal never end) and the computational power of computers is always increasing the number of digits found in pi will continue to increase and change every day. The number of digits of pi have surpassed one billion (i think, I will try to find a site). They have a supercomputer always on, getting more and more accurate. A guy had a computer on for 7 years and got a billion digits of pi (with an old laptop). However you only really need just over 30 to be accurate enough by any standards.
