What is Approximation for pi?
3.14 is the commonly used approximation
Why was pi discovered?
So Marie Callendar's would have something to sell, NO SERIOUSLY! The Egyptians used an approximation of Pi in the 20th century B.C. and probably used it for construction and building. It is often important to know the circumference of a circle and it is Pi times its diameter. They may have been the first to discover it. A century later, the Babylonians used Pi. As time passed, the approximation they used improved.
Who first introduced pi and when?
I think the ancient Egyptians had the concept albeit a rough approximation eg 22/7
What did Egyptians use Pi for?
The Egyptians used 256 divided with 81 to calculate pi.
Where was pi first used?
Pi was first used by the Babylonians and Egyptians.
What fraction is sometimes used as an approximation of pi?
It is: 22/7
What is an approximation of pi?
Think of pi as infinity. It never ends. You might mean "3.14" as an approximation of pi, though.
What other approximate values for Pi have been used and who discovered them?
Every person who has ever used the "value" of pi in a calculation has used an approximation.
What country was the first to use PI?
the ancient Egyptians used pi to build pyramids
What fraction is the equivalent of pi?
pi is irrational so there can be no fraction that is equivalent. 22/7 is often used as a simple approximation.
When do you use the fraction form for pi?
While there is no fraction form for pi, 22/7 is an approximation of pi that can be used for a rough calculation .
What decimal is pi?
There is no finite-length decimal number for pi. The decimal for pi goes on until infinity! The most commonly used approximation is 3.14
