The earliest known use of the Greek letter π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter was by mathematician William Jones in his 1706 work Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos; or, a New Introduction to the Mathematics. The Greek letter first appears there in the phrase "1/2 Periphery (π)" in the discussion of a circle with radius one. Jones may have chosen π because it was the first letter in the Greek spelling of the word periphery. However, he writes that his equations for π are from the "ready pen of the truly ingenious Mr. John Machin", leading to speculation that Machin may have employed the Greek letter before Jones.

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 circumference of a circle with an area of 314 in2?
Tells you the answer is 2*sqrt(314*pi) inches, which is approximately 62.82 inches Seriously though. Use metric units in maths it makes everything just work!

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
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?
A= pi r squared 3.14 * 10 *10 = 314 square feet.
What is the radius of a circle if the area is314?
