Pi is not a variable. Pi is an irrational real positive number. The value of pi is approximately 3.14159
irrational means there is no way to write the exact value of pi. It can not be written with a finite number of decimal points. It can not be written as a fraction. it can not be written as the nth root of any number.
real means it is not generated by taking the square root of a negative number and it is not generated by dividing anything by 0 .
positive means it is greater then 0.
20.5 pi ie 64.4 in
1.5 pi ie 4.71 cm
pi, e, phi, 1,2,3,4, etc.
19 pi, ie 19 x 3.1415 = 59.69
77 x pi, ie close to 242mm
float pi = 3.142; // Note: pi is an irrational number, there is no "exact" value of pi
A circle, radius 10/pi has an area of pi x 10/pi x 10/pi ie 100pi/pi2 ie 100/pi ie 31.8; A square 5 to the side has an area of 25.
No. It is a constant. A variable is something that changes value in certain circumstances; pi always has the same value.
A constant that multiplies a variable is no longer a constant. By its very definition, a constant is something that can never be different. The result of variable multiplication is thus a variable, not a constant.I would say that the above answer is not necessarily true. The common equation for the area of a circle is: area = pi * r2The fact that you are multiplying the mathematical constant pi by a variable does not change the value of pi.Agree with the second answer. Jsut to add, a constant that multplies a variable is called a coefficient.
It is a variable that can not be changed such as PI.
It is a variable that can not be changed such as PI.
Yes--in that it is a constant that typically precedes a variable.
2 x pi x 12 in, ie 24 pi inches
42/pi ie 13 feet 4½ inches, assuming pi to be 3.14
22 x 22 x pi, ie 484 pi sqft.
20.5 pi ie 64.4 in
28.3/pi ie 9 cm
