Firstly the word is pi. It is a Greek letter.

In mathematics it is often useful to use letters to represent something unknown. We often use the letter x or the letter n to do so.

In certain special cases we keep a letter and that represents something so we all know what we are referring to.

In this case, pi.

Pi refers to the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference. It is always the same. No matter what size the circle the diameter will always be a certain size compared to the circumference.

It is often useful to keep and use such letters and phrases. It is a kind of shorthand for people that use mathematics.

How do you find the diamter of a circle if you know the area?

In order to find the diameter of a circle if you have the area is to rearrange the formula for the area of a circle to put diameter as the unknown, like so: PIE*d = Area of a Circle d = (Area of a Circle) / PIE Therefore if the area of your circle is 40cm, 40/PIE = 12.73cm and that's the diameter.
