Why the area of a circle with a rational radius must be an irrational number?
It the radius is r then the area is pi*r*r - which is pi times a rational number. pi is an irrational number, so the multiple of pi and a rational number is irrational.
Is the circumference of a circle an irrational number?
Yes if the diameter is rational. But it need not be if the diameter is irrational. If the diameter is 3/pi units, for example, then the circumference will be (3/pi)*pi = 3 units.
Is the circumference of a circle considered to be a whole number?
No because the circumference of a circle is pi times diameter and pi is an irrational number
When Lambert proves pi is irrational?
Johann Lambert proved that pi is irrational in 1761.
What represents pi?
For all circles of all sizes, the length of the circumference divided by the length of the diameter is the same, and this number is the value of pi, which is an irrational number, often it is approximated to 3.14.
Is 2 pi a rational number?
No, since Pi is an irrational number, 2(pi) would still be irrational.

Why pie is a rational or an irrational number?
First of all 'pi' is spelled as 'pi' . NOT 'pie' ; that is the meat pie of apple pie that you eat. 'pi' is the small case classical Greek letter 'p' and mean 'proportion'. It is the proportional constant between a circles diameter and circumference. 'pi' is an IRRATIONAL number. Casually this means, that the decimal digits go to infinity, and the digits are NOT in a any regular order. . More formally 'irrational' means that you cannot form an exact ratio from it's decimal digits. pi= 3.14 , 3.1416, 3.14592654, 22/7 are all approximations of 'pi'. Super . Duper Computers have calculated 'pi' to billions of places and still going. !!!!!
