It was inititially recognised as the ratio between the radius and circumference of a perfect circle. The radius times "Pi" equals the circumference of a perfect circle.
PI the 16th greek letter is the circumference divided by the diameter of a circle. For example 40.5/12.89 = PI.

'pi' comes from the Classical Greek Alphabet. Its modern equivalent is the letter 'p'
pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to diameter, and that number just happens to be, always, 3.14159.... for an infinite number of digits
Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet
PI the 16th greek letter is the circumference divided by the diameter of a circle. For example 40.5/12.89 = PI.
Because pi = 0.5*tau
Any circle's circumference divided by its diameter has a value of pi

who invented, or came up with "pi" in math? How did they come up with the estimation of 3.14?
Pi r squared comes from the formula to find the area of a circle.
I have not yet come across a calculator with a single button for pi, but pi equals 22 divided by 7(3.142...). Hope I helped.

Archimedes was the first Western mathematician to make a serious attempt at calculating the value of pi. His estimated, that pi was between 3.1408 and 3.1429.
