Best Answer

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 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.

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
