Best Answer

It is used to calculate the circumference and the area of a circle, the surface area and volume of a sphere, to calculate areas and volumes of some other geometrical figures, and in several applications in advanced math that are seemingly unrelated to the circle.

Can the exact value of PI be calculated?

"Not as a decimal or fraction as there are an infinite number of digits." This is a common and useful answer. The *correct* answer is that PI is firstly an irrational number that cannot be calculated from any ratio (fraction). Secondly, PI is a transcendental number that, by the definition of "transcendental", cannot be exactly calculated. The nest you can do is to apply an infinite convergent series that becomes more and more accurate with more and more decimal places.
