The approximate value of pi used by the ancient Egyptians was 3.16
3.14 is the commonly used approximation
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.
I think the ancient Egyptians had the concept albeit a rough approximation eg 22/7
The Egyptians used 256 divided with 81 to calculate pi.
Pi was first used by the Babylonians and Egyptians.
It is: 22/7
Think of pi as infinity. It never ends. You might mean "3.14" as an approximation of pi, though.
Every person who has ever used the "value" of pi in a calculation has used an approximation.
pi is irrational so there can be no fraction that is equivalent. 22/7 is often used as a simple approximation.
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
While there is no fraction form for pi, 22/7 is an approximation of pi that can be used for a rough calculation .
the ancient Egyptians used pi to build pyramids
