Generally, Pi is used to represent the rate of change of the circumference of a circle as it's diameter increases. This can be shown using the equation [circumference = Pi * diameter], that is the circumference of a circle is always Pi times larger than it's diameter.

How many pi?

3.14.....if you round it up...this is actually standard...pi actually goes on forever, but this is the standard number for pi.


In math why does pi represent 3.14?

Pi does not represent 3.14. Pi represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number. 3.14 is but the crudest approximation of pi. A better approximation is 3.1416. Still better is 3.14159. The closest approximation commonly used in real-world applilcations is 3.14159262. If anything, 3.14 represents pi, and represents it very imprecisely. As for why the term "pi" was chosen to represent this important concept in mathematics, it was chosen because it is the initial letter of the greek word for "perimeter".


What is the decimal for pi?

The decimal representation of pi is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed exactly as a finite decimal or fraction. However, it is commonly approximated as 3.14159. Pi is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and has infinite, non-repeating decimal digits. Mathematicians and scientists often use the symbol π to represent this fundamental mathematical constant.


What is the circumference of 8cm?

Clarity please!!!! 'Circumference of what??? Also what does the 8 cm represent . diameter, radius, diagonal etc., !!!!


What is the nearest whatever of Pi?

pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... pi to the tenths = 3.1 pi to the hundredths = 3.14 pi to the thousandths = 3.142 pi to the ten-thousandths = 3.1416 pi to the 10th decimal places = 3.1415926536 etc. ============================
