Best Answer

Because pi is an irrational number, it cannot be calculated exactly (as a decimal), so your question is moot. However, since it can be expressed as a ratio or fraction, its "exact" value can nonetheless be used in any mathematical or physical context that requires it; it simply can't be expressed as a decimal or as a fraction.

Since pi appears as the results of many calculations, the accuracy of pi affects the accuracy of the calculations, therefore the the use of more accurate calculations of pi is used when these calculations require a very small margin of error.

When you define a query that performs a calculation you must add a field?

It is possible to do a simple calculation in a query without having any fields in it, but generally the whole point of queries is to work with data from tables, so there would be fields in them. If you wanted to do a calculation that did not involve any fields, then there would be no reason to use a database. You could use a spreadsheet or a calculator.

When to use rounding?

There are two main situations.when one (or more components) in a calculation is given in rounded form, it will limit the accuracy of the answer. For example, if you use pi = 3.1416 then the calculated area should not have more than 5 significant digits.if the answer to an exact calculation is a long decimal string - particularly an irrational number.
