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 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. ============================
What is the diameter if the circumferance is 56 inches?
Just divide 56 by pi. Pi is approximate 3.14; or use the "pi" key on your scientific calculator.Just divide 56 by pi.

What is the formula for circumference in terms of pi?
d * pi or 2 * r * pi Where d is diameter and r is radius and pi = 3.14159
Meaning of 'pi'?
Pi is a Greek letter. It is used in mathematics to represent the number 3.1416. One may calculate the circumference of a circle by multiplying the diameter by pi. One may calculate the area of a circle by multiplying the square of the radius by pi. Pi is actually a little less than 3.1416, but that's close enough for most applications.

Does pi represent a finite or infinite number?
Pi is an irrational number. As such, it has an infinite number of digits.
What do we use the pi symbol to represent a number?
Because pi is an irrational number that has an infinite amount of digits
Can pi be negative?
No. Pi is a set number, if it were negative (-3.14159...) it would not represent the ratio of radius to circumference.
Where can you see a pi?
It is a Greek letter used to represent the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference so you can see 'pi' (not a pi)in any circle.

Is pi a number?
Technically pi is two letters put together to form a word. How ever, the word "pi" does represent the number 3.14159265... (or simply 3.14).
