The symbol 'π' is the Greek letter 'p' which is called "pi", like our 'p' is called 'pee'.
The similarity in appearance between the symbol pi and the Roman numeral II is entirely coincidental.
The 'symbol' is a letter in the Greek alphabet - which is pronounced 'pi'. The connection between the letter and the ratio of the diameter and the circumference fo a circle may come from the fact that the letter pi is the first letter of the Greek word for perimeter, and the word for periphery.
The symbol of pi is 16th letter of the Greek alphabet and it was chosen because the first letter of the equivalent of the word perimeter begins with pi in the Greek language.
The symbol pi (π) for the value was introduced by the English mathematician William Jones (1746-1794). Long before then, the numerical relationship between the diameter and circumference of a circle was known and used.
The symbol for pi (π), is the Greek letter that is the equivalent to the Roman p. It is the Greek letter pi. It is the first letter of the Greek word περίμετρος (perimetros) from which our word perimeter comes.
The symbol comes from the Greek alphabet.
in the greek alphabet the letter P is the same as the pi symbol...i think

pi is the ratio of the perimeter of a circle to its diameter. The Greek letter, pi, is the first letter of the word perimetros (Greek for perimeter).

Pi is the relationship between the diameter and the circumference of a circle.
pi X diameter = circumference of the circle.

Pi X diameter equals circumference.
yes, it is correct perimeter = d * pi pi is the ratio between the perimeter and the diameter
