The greater the number of significant figures, the greater the precision. Each significant figure increases the precision by a factor of ten. For example pi = 3.14 is accurate to 3 significant figures, while pi = 3.14159 with 6 significant figures is a more accurate representation.
Volume = 4/3 * pi * r3 Volume = 4/3 * pi * (7.5)3 = 1767 ( units ) ----------------------------though the significant figures constraint may show 1800
Circumference / pi = Diameter, radius = diameter / 2 So> 37 / pi = 11.777 diameter = 5.8885 radius * * * * * If you wish to give your answer to 5 significant figures, you MUST use the value of pi to at least that many sig figs. Thus, radius = 37/(2*3.1416) = 5.8887 - to 5 sig figs.
You calculate the volume of three-dimensional figures, not of numbers like pi.

If you take pi as 3.141592654, then the answer is 2.145029397 to 11 significant figures.
Pi to 17 significant figures is 3.1415926535897932 Pi to 17 decimal places is 3.14159265358979323
28.26 times pi which is 3.14 equals 88.78 or 88.8 if you need the correct amount of significant figures.
Circumference = 2(pi)r OR (pi)d Taking (pi)d = 6 d=6/(pi) d=1.91 (3 significant figures)
The greater the number of significant figures, the greater the precision. Each significant figure increases the precision by a factor of ten. For example pi = 3.14 is accurate to 3 significant figures, while pi = 3.14159 with 6 significant figures is a more accurate representation.
There is no end to pi. It is an un-repeating, infinite number. For most calculating purposes, 3-4 significant figures is suffice.
Area = pi*r2 Area = pi(58.5 feet)2 = 10,800 square feet ===============( significant figures )
I would generally suggest using the most significant digits in the question as a reflection of the level of detail they want. If they wanted more detail (assuming 3.14 represents the constant pi), then they would have listed pi to the significant digits necessary
177.4728Improved answer:Area of a circle = pi*radius2Area = pi*92 => 254.4690049Area = 254 square inches correct to three significant figures.
For the vast majority of day-to-day uses, pi is quoted as 3.14. This is equivalent to 3 significant figures, 2 decimal places, or pi 'to the nearest hundreth'.
Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*radius Circumference = 2*pi*25 =157.0796327 inches or 157 inches correct to three significant figures.
