Since (pi) is an irrational number and you can never write it down exactly, you
need something that's close that you can use whenever you need to use (pi).
The closer approximation you use in place of (pi), the closer your answer will be
to the exact truth.
22/7 is a very handy number to use where you need (pi). It's easy to handle, and if you
use 22/7, then your answer is only about 0.04% wrong, which is darn good accuracy.
