If you are talking about "pi", the math constant related to circles, it is exactly 3.14159265358979. Most people use the approximation of 3.14 in calculating the area of a circle, the circumference, or the volume of a sphere. For very rough approximations, use 3. For example, the circumference of a circle is "pi" x diameter. So a 24-inch bike tire is about 72 inches around. The area of a circle is "pi" x radius squared. So a 10-inch Pizza gives you about 75 square inches to eat.

Everybody who gives a numerical answer to a sum involving π. The exact value cannot be calculated and so approximations must be used.
3.14 and 3.14159 are two commonly used decimal approximations. In ratio form, 22/7 is often used.
You do not have all the information and so your conclusions are based on approximations.
