because if you take the diameter and wrap it around the circle it will only go around it 3 times and a little more, therefore you get 3.14159...

A sphere has a surface area of 18 square centimeters. What is the volume of a sphere?

9 √(2/pi) We start with the formulas for surface area (4 pi r^2) and volume (4/3 pi r^3). If 4 pi r^2 = 18, then r = 3/√(2 pi); plug that into the formula for volume and we get 9 √(2/pi) as the answer.

What is the 80888840 place of PI?

The 80888840 the digit after the decimal place is a 5. If you start counting from the 3 (of 3.1415...) then it is a 3.


What is the cubic root of pi squared multiplied by pi?

[pi^(1/3)]^2 * pi = pi^(2/3) * pi = pi^(5/3) The answer is the cubic root of pi to the fifth power.


What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 6 meters?

18pi m^3 ~ 56.5486678 m^3 sphere: (4/3)pi(r^3) hemisphere: ((4/3)pi(r^3))/2=(4/6)pi(r^2)=(2/3)pi(r^3) d=6 r=3 (2/3)pi(3^3)=(2/3)pi(27)=(54/3)pi=18pi


What is pi plus pi plus pi?

(pi + pi + pi) = 3 pi = roughly 9.4248 (rounded) Well, if you use the common shortened version of pi which is 3.14 and add that 3 times, you get 9.42.

Is the volume formula universal for all the figures?

No, the volume formula is not universal for all figures. Different shapes and objects have different formulas to calculate their volume based on their unique dimensions and properties. Each shape requires its own specific formula to accurately determine its volume.


3 plus pi equals pi plus 3?

Yes


What is the exact value using a sum or difference formula of the expression cos 11pi over 12?

11pi/12 = pi - pi/12 cos(11pi/12) = cos(pi - pi/12) cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b)+sin(a)sin(b) cos(pi -pi/12) = cos(pi)cos(pi/12) + sin(pi)sin(pi/12) sin(pi)=0 cos(pi)=-1 Therefore, cos(pi -pi/12) = -cos(pi/12) pi/12=pi/3 -pi/4 cos(pi/12) = cos(pi/3 - pi/4) = cos(pi/3)cos(pi/4)+sin(pi/3) sin(pi/4) cos(pi/3)=1/2 sin(pi/3)=sqrt(3)/2 cos(pi/4)= sqrt(2)/2 sin(pi/4) = sqrt(2)/2 cos(pi/3)cos(pi/4)+sin(pi/3) sin(pi/4) = (1/2)(sqrt(2)/2 ) + (sqrt(3)/2)( sqrt(2)/2) = sqrt(2)/4 + sqrt(6) /4 = [sqrt(2)+sqrt(6)] /4 Therefore, cos(pi/12) = (sqrt(2)+sqrt(6))/4 -cos(pi/12) = -(sqrt(2)+sqrt(6))/4 cos(11pi/12) = -(sqrt(2)+sqrt(6))/4
