When the question says "Write your answer in terms of pi.", it means that if you
worked the problem correctly, then you had to use (pi) to solve it, and (pi) appears
in the answer you have. They're telling you that it's OK to just leave it that way ...
you don't have to keep going and figure out what the number is after you plug in
the numerical value of (pi).

Oh, isn't pi just delightful? It's like a warm hug from nature, always there to help us understand circles and curves. So, when you're writing your answer in terms of pi, just remember to use it whenever you're dealing with circles or anything round and you'll be all set for a happy little calculation.
Well, darling, writing an answer in terms of pi simply means leaving your answer in terms of the irrational number pi instead of calculating its decimal approximation. It's like saying "I'm not gonna bother with a precise number, I'll just leave it as pi and call it a day." So, in short, just keep pi in your answer instead of plugging in a bunch of digits. Easy as pie!
To write an answer in terms of pi, you would use the symbol π to represent the mathematical constant pi, which is approximately equal to 3.14159. For example, if you were calculating the circumference of a circle with radius r, you would write the formula as C = 2πr. This notation allows for precise and concise representation of mathematical relationships involving pi.
If you are trying to find the circumference of a circle, then you would do the first step (Pi x Diameter or Radius x 2= Diameter so Pi x Diameter) Then you would get your answer, for example pi x 5= 5π and because 5π is the unsimplified answer the answer in terms of pi is simply 5π
To express 141.37 in terms of pi, we would divide 141.37 by pi (approximately 3.14159). This gives us approximately 44.98, meaning that 141.37 is roughly 44.98 times pi. In mathematical terms, 141.37 ≈ 44.98π.
Pi times the diameter.
you find the answer without multiplying by pi and leave the pi sign in your answer
pi x r2 x h = volume of a cylinder
The circumference of a circle is its diameter times pi, which is the same as twice the radius times pi.A = 2r (pi)In this instance, the circumference is 32(pi) inches(about 100.53 inches)
