Best Answer

When we look for approximate values for pi, we find 22/7, 3.14 or 3.1416 are offered in many cases.

An approximation could be carried out to as many decimal places as someone might wish to characterize it, but these three are used in almost all cases.

Pi on many calculators is set at 3.1415926535897 -- which means that 3.1416 is only off by a factor of 0.0002%.

3.142

If you use 22/7, you're only about 0.04% off.

3.142 is less than 0.02% off.

Is Pi 3.14?

Pi is the circumference of a circle divided by the diameter of a circle. 3.14 is an approximation of Pi. It is not possible to display the value of Pi. (See the related questions.)


What is the entire decimal approximation for pi?

To have an "entire approximation" in itself is an oxymoron. We have to approximate pi because you cannot express the true value of pi as a decimal. It goes on forever. This is an invalid question. Pi is generally approximated, however, as 22/7 or 3.14.


What is 3.14159265853 itself?

It looks like the decimal value of Pi - however, some of the digits are wrong... 3.14159265358979


What is an approximation of pi?

Think of pi as infinity. It never ends. You might mean "3.14" as an approximation of pi, though.


Which is NOT a close approximate value of pi?

Nothing on the list provided with the questionis anywhere near an approximation of (pi).Pi=3.14159.So any number that is not close to that is your answer.


How can you get the approximate value of pi?

Depends on how approximate is acceptable. The approximation of 22/7 is often quoted.


The circumference of circle P is 62.8 inches, and the diameter is 20 inches. What expression represents an approximation for pi?

Pi by definition is simply the ratio C/D = pi where C = 62.8 in and D = 20 in. Plug in the numbers and you can get a value out as far in decimal points as you wish. And that's pi, not an approximation of pi.


What other approximate values for Pi have been used and who discovered them?
