Best Answer

Different people found better and better approximations. The exact value can only be expressed as the symbol for pi; it has been proven that pi is irrational, in other words, you can't write it exactly as a fraction with integers in the numerator and the denominator. Therefore, you might say that nobody found the exact value of pi, and nobody ever will.

Why is a fraction of pi better then the decimal of pi?

Since pi is an irrational number it is impossible to represent the exact quantity as a decimal; you can only give and approximate value. However, if you write a fraction that includes the symbol for pi, you are giving an exact quantity.


What other approximate values for Pi have been used and who discovered them?

What is the area of circle with a radius of 1.2cm?

Area = (pi * radius)^2, so: Area = (pi * 1.2cm)^2 Area = 1.44 pi cm (an exact value) If you want to approximate the area, just multiply 1.44 by pi.

How can you calculate the exact value of pi?

22 divided by 7 * * * * * That is an APPROXIMATE value of pi. The exact value cannot be calculated since pi is a transcendental number - a special kind of irrational number. It has an infinite decimal representation with no recurring pattern. That would be true in any base - binary, octal, or another base (other than pi itself, or a power of pi).
