Pi is the ratio of the diameter of a circle to the circumference. It is used in various formulas, such as the area of a circle and the volume of a cone. It was discovered by the ancient Greek mathematicians. We are finding more and more digits of pi as technology advances, but we will never reach the end because pi is an irrational number.
