This question is actually more complicated than you would think. We are continually trying to find more and more decimals of Pi. We will never know the full value of Pi because the numbers never stop and never repeat, they go on into infinity.
We do know the first recorded value of Pi was recorded by and Egyptian scribe around 1650 B.C.E. He said "Cut off 1/9 of a diameter and construct a square upon the remainder; this has the same area as the circle." This means that the ratio of circumference to diameter is 256/81 or 3.16049...

The Greek philosopher, Archimedes, was later able to calculate the value of Pi using geometry to a great degree. It wasn't until 400 - 500 A.D. that Chinese mathemetician Zu Chongzhi found that 553/113 was a very accurate approximation of the value of Pi, so much so that his value held for the next 900 years.

Who were the first people known to find a value for Pi and what was its value?
Archimedes of Syracuse is said to be the first mathematician to make a systematic attempt to estimate pi in the third century BC.
Who was the first person known to find a value for pi?
Pythagoras
Who were the first people to find the known value of pi in 2000 BC?
No one has ever discovered the real value of pi because it is an irrational number which means it can not be expressed as a fraction and only an approximation was given to it.
Who were the first people to find a value for pi?
The Egyptians in 2000 b.c.
Who were the first people to find the value of pi?
Egyptians and Mesopotamians and babylonians
Who were the first people to write pi math?
The first to find the value in pi were the Babylonians and Egyptians.
Who were the first people known to find the value for pi?
The first written evidence that has been found of people finding the value of pi is in an Egyptian papyrus and Babylonian tablets about 1900 BC, however, some historians believe that the ratio of the perimeter to height of pyramids built in Egypt as early as 2613 - 2589 BC suggests that Egyptians already had made approximations of the value of pi at that time.
Who were the firtst people known to find a value for pi?
No one because the true value of pi can never be found because it is an irrational number that can't be expressed as a fraction.
Who were the first people know en to find the value of pi?
3.14159..... Thomas Jefferson he is a very smart person
Who were the first people to know to find the value of pi?
The ancient Babylonians from around 1700 BC used pi = 3.125. The name of the person who calculated that value was not recorded.
How do you find the diameter of a circle if you only now the arc length and measure?
measure/360=arc length/circumference. C=pi*diameter, so you now have (known value)/360=(known value)/(pi*diameter). With only one unknown value, you can now find the diameter.
