Archimedes made pi by using the method of exhaustion to calculate the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series. From the method of exhaustion, he gave a remarkably accurate approximation of pi (3.141593).
The more sides a polygon has, the closer the approximation approaches pi. Pn is the perimeter of a regular polygon with n sides circumscribed around a circle with diameter d.
The formula Archimedes used to calculate pi is: pi equals limits over number of sides to infinity multiplied by the perimeter of a regular polygon divided by the diameter.

Who calculated the value of pi?
It is still being calculated. Supa-Dupa computers have calculated 'pi' to at least 50 billion places and still going. The ancients would have calculated 'pi' to at least 10 places. or more. estimates for pi are 3.14, 3.1416, 3.14159 or 22/7 They are all approximations. pi is an irrational number, which means it cannot be converted to a ratio/quotient. The Classical Greek mathematician , Archimedes, calculated 'pi' to a degrees of estimation.
