Why is pi used in every circle formula?

By definition Pi is the relation between the radius and circumference of a circle.


When would you want to find the circumference of a circle?

The first step to calculate circumference of a circle is to know the formula. There are two formulas that can be used for the purpose. They are:Circumference of a circle formula 1: C = π x diameterCircumference of a circle formula 2: C = π x 2 radiusHere are a few illustrations that would make problem solving related to finding the circumference of a circle easy:Using the Radius:If the value of the radius is known then it can be put in the 'circumference of a circle equation' already mentioned and the value calculated. For example:Given that the radius of circle is 3 cm.Circumference of the circle: C= π x 2 radiusor, C= 3.14 x 2 (3) cmor, C= 18.84 cmUsing the Diameter:If the value of the diameter is known it can be directly put in the 'circumference of a circle equation' and the circumference calculated. For example:Given that the diameter of a circle is 6 cm.Circumference of the circle: C= π x diameteror, C= 3.14 x 6 cmor, C= 18.84 cm

What is PI used for?

Pi is used to find a lot of things, volume, area, diameter, radius, but most commonly, circumference. To do that, you multiply the diameter of a circle by pi, (3.14159) then you have the circumference.it is used to calculate the area and volume of a circle or cylinderalso to find circumferenceEX:DIAMETER X PI = CIRCUMFERENCE+++True but I'd question the "most commonly" because Pi is also fundamental to a huge range of calculations involving motion or force in circular or circle-function paths, and to harmonic calculations (sound, vibration, electrical circuit laws, etc.).'Incidentally, there is a neat trick by pure co-incidence worth knowing if you often use a calculator or the calculator pad on a PC keyboard to find areas of circles from their diameters. The standard formula is Pi*R^2 where R is the circle's radius, but since 2R = Diameter the formula w.r.t Diameter is therefore (Pi*D^2)/4. Now, Pi/4 = 0.7854 to enough decimal places for most everyday calculations, so then the formula simplifies to 0.7854*D^2. Look at your keypad and you see those 4 digits sit in a tidy square in the top left, nice and easy to find if you need to keep entering them!
