Who were the first group of people known to calculate the area of a circle using a pi approximation of 3?
It is not known. The Rhind Papyrus describes how the area of a circle is related to pi where pi was estimated as (4/3)4 ≈ 3.1605 (approx).
The Rhind Papyrus dates from around 1700 BCE. So either very ancient people used pi = 3 or else they were later people who were dogmatically required to use pi = 3.

How do you calculate the diameter of a circle if you know the area?
First, divide your answer by 2 Next, divide that answer by 3.14 Then, multiply that answer by 2 there's your answer
What is the square foot area of a circle 128 foot cercumference?
A circle of radius r has a circumference of 2*Pi*r and an area of Pi*r*r, where Pi is the constant which is approximately 3.14159. Use the first equation to calculate the radius and then the second to calculate the area.
How did Archimedes calculate pi?
He calculated the perimeters of regular polygons inscribed within a unit circle and circumscribing the circle (outside the circle). The first is always less than the circumference of the circle ( = 2*pi) and the second is always more. As you increase the number of sides of the polygons, the polygons get closer and closer to the circle and their perimeters get nearer to the circumference.
Where can you apply binomial expansion in engineering?
To calculate an approximate value for, say 99.55, you could first rewrite it as 1005*(1-0.005)5 and then use the binomial expansion of the first three terms of (1-0.005)5 to get a pretty good approximation - accurate to 1.2 parts in a million! You can calculate the first three terms without a computer if you know your basic times tables.
What is a area of a circle with a diameter of 24 meters?
First calculate the radius (1/2 of the diameter), then use the formula area = pi x r2.
How do you calculate your menstrual circle days?
It's not a menstrual "circle" - it's a menstrual cycle. And on another note, you can calculate the menstrual days by marking it down on your calander; from the first day you started.
IF the circumference of a circle is 6.28 what is the area?
The circumference and area of a circle, with radius r is: circumference = 2*pi*r and area = pi*r2 Use the first to calculate r and then the second to calculate the area.

How do you calculate the sq ft of a 6.6 foot circle rug?
First you determine the radius of the circle. If 6.6 feet refers to the diameter, divide that by 2 to get the radius. Then you use the standard formula for the area of a circle.

How much dirt do I need to buy to fill a fourteen foot circle?
To calculate the volume of dirt needed to fill a circular area, you first need to find the area of the circle (πr^2, where r is the radius). In this case, for a 14-foot circle, the radius is 7 feet. Once you find the area, you can calculate the volume of dirt needed based on the desired depth of filling the circle.

Why can't windows accurately calculate time remaining to copy and transfer a file?
The calculation is determined by the bit rate of the file movement, and the bit rate can vary throughout which is why the first approximation regularly differs from the calculations made after.
When was The First Circle created?
The First Circle was created in 2009.
