I'm not sure of the proof. Wikipedia has an extensive article on pi, it's history and calculation methods. Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, so it cannot be represented exactly as a decimal or a fraction, but only carried out to a decimal approximation.
The decimal 3.14 is a pretty good approximation to the true value. If you take a circle with a diameter of 100 yards (the length of a football field), then calculate the circumference using the approximation of 3.14, you will be off from the actual length of the circumference by about 5 3/4 inches. Using another popular approximation [22/7] will get you within 4 9/16 inch of the actual circumference. Using the popular approximation of 3.1416 will arrive at a calculation which is within 1/32 inch of the actual circumference.

How do you find the square feet of a circle with a radius of 10 feet?
314 feet²Area of a circle = pi x radius²let pi = 3.14A = 3.14 x 10²A = 3.14 x 100A = 314 feet²
What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter equaling with 7 centimeters in length use 314 for pi?
If you mean 3.14 for pi then the circumference is: 7*3.14 = 21.98 cm
What is the area of a 10ft circle?
A= pi r squared 3.14 * 10 *10 = 314 square feet.

What is the diameter of a circle if the circumference 314 feet?
Diameter = 314/pi feet
Who made pi day on 314?
Larry Shaw made pi day on 3, 14, 1989.
Circumference of a circle with a diameter of 100 feet?
The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula C = πd, where C is the circumference, π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159, and d is the diameter of the circle. In this case, the diameter is 100 feet, so the circumference would be C = π(100) = 314.159 feet.
How do you find the square feet of a circle with a radius of 10 feet?
314 feet²Area of a circle = pi x radius²let pi = 3.14A = 3.14 x 10²A = 3.14 x 100A = 314 feet²
What is the area of a circle with the circumference of 62.8 inches?
Circumference = 2 pi r = 62.8 so r = 31.4/pi = 10 Area = pi r2 = 100 pi = 314 in2
How do you prove pi is rational?
pi is irrational so that's impossible
How can we prove that when a circle's diameter is 1 its circumference is pi?
Because the circumference of a circle = pi*diameter and pi*1 = pi

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter equaling with 7 centimeters in length use 314 for pi?
If you mean 3.14 for pi then the circumference is: 7*3.14 = 21.98 cm
How do you find the radius if given the area is 314cm2?
Divide 314 by pi and square root the answer which will give you the radius.
What is the area of a 10ft circle?
