Why do we use pi?
We use it to calculate the circumference of a circle.
How does an architect use pi?
To calculate the area/circumference of a circle when designing something circular with a limited amount of material. i.e. you have to design a bronze circle and only have 27 sq ft of bronze. You have to calculate the circumference to see if you need to make the circle smaller or not.
What is the rule to calculate the circumference of a circle?
It's the diameter times pi.
What is the largest area that you can have if the perimeter is 24 feet?
You get the largest area with a circle. Divide the perimeter by (2 x pi), then calculate the area with the formula pi x radius2.You get the largest area with a circle.

How do you calculate the sq ft of a 6.6 foot circle rug?
First you determine the radius of the circle. If 6.6 feet refers to the diameter, divide that by 2 to get the radius. Then you use the standard formula for the area of a circle.
