The relationship between the circumference and diameter of a circle has been known since ancient times but some of the early estimates were decidedly dodgy. So the person who found pi is lost in pre-history.
Archimedes (287-212 BC) was the first to have had a serious attempt at calculating its value. Despite a painstaking procedure, his answer, of 3.1485, was accurate to only two digits. Because pi is an irrational (transcendental) number, nobody is ever going to find its exact value. As of October 2011, pi had been calculated to 10 trillion (and 50) digits.

What is the cubic root of pi squared multiplied by pi?
[pi^(1/3)]^2 * pi = pi^(2/3) * pi = pi^(5/3) The answer is the cubic root of pi to the fifth power.
What is pi plus pi plus pi?
(pi + pi + pi) = 3 pi = roughly 9.4248 (rounded) Well, if you use the common shortened version of pi which is 3.14 and add that 3 times, you get 9.42.
What is the derivative of cos pi x plus sin pi y all to the 8th power equals 44?
(cos(pi x) + sin(pi y) )^8 = 44 differentiate both sides with respect to x 8 ( cos(pi x) + sin (pi y ) )^7 d/dx ( cos(pi x) + sin (pi y) = 0 8 ( cos(pi x) + sin (pi y ) )^7 (-sin (pi x) pi + cos (pi y) pi dy/dx ) = 0 8 ( cos(pi x) + sin (pi y ) )^7 (pi cos(pi y) dy/dx - pi sin (pi x) ) = 0 cos(pi y) dy/dx - pi sin(pi x) = 0 cos(pi y) dy/dx = sin(pi x) dy/dx = sin (pi x) / cos(pi y)
What is pi times pi equal?
pi^2
