One definition of pi is the ratio of the circumference, C, of a circle to its diameter.,d. pi=C/d The area of a circle is (pi)r2 or (pi)d2/4 where r is the radius.

Why is Pi used to calculate circumference and area of circles?

pi is an irrational number at 3.141592.... ( recur to infinity and decimals in no regular order. Let me tell you a story!!!! It was found by the 'Ancient Civilisations' that when a donkey is used to drive up water from well, it was tethered to a rope/halter, the radius. It walked round the well head tied to the halter. in a big circle, the circumference. It was found by the ancients, that twice the radius, the diamter, has a direct proportion to the circumference. It didn't how big/small the circumference was, compared to the radius/diameter the proportion always remained the same at 3.141592.... (pi). So the ancints constructed an equation. C is directly proportional to diameter ,d, This proportion is always constant hence a 'k' for constancy is inserted. C = kd or k = C/d This constant 'k' was given the name 'pi', which is the lower case Classical Greek letter 'p'. and stands for proportion. So ther you have it!!!!!

What is the surface area of 3.14?

3.14 is a constant . It has no surface area. It is an approximation for pi = 3.141592.... 'pi' is the ratio between a circles circumference and its diameter. C = pi*d


How do you calculate circumference and area of pi?

Pi is the number of times the diameter of a circle will fit into the circumference. Pi is not a circle, and does not have a circumference or area. To calculate a circumference USING pi, the circumference is diameter * pi. To find the area using pi, area = pi * radius * radius


How do you find the circumference when you have the area?

If you are talking about circles determine the radius by dividing the Area by pi and take the square root of the result. Then multiply the radius by two times pi.


How do you find the circumference of circles?

What are the formulas for circumference and area of circles?

The circumference ( C ) of a circle is calculated using the formula ( C = 2\pi r ), where ( r ) is the radius of the circle. The area ( A ) of a circle is given by the formula ( A = \pi r^2 ). In both formulas, ( \pi ) (pi) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
