What is the exactly value of pi?

The exact value of pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It cannot be printed exactly in numbers.


Can the problem of computing the number pi be solved exactly?

No. Pi is a neverending number.


What figure has an area exactly equal to pi?

The area of a circle is {pi} x radius2. 12 = 1, so: a circle of radius 1 unit has an area of exactly pi units2


If the diameter is 8 then what is the circumference?

Exactly 8 x pi. Pi is approximately 3.1416.


What is 36 x pi equal to?

36 pi = 113.09734 (rounded)(Since 'pi' is irrational and can never be written exactly, no sum, difference,product, or quotient that involves it [once] can be written exactly either.)


Why is the pi called pi?

Pi is (probably) an abbreviation for a Greek word meaning "perimeter" or "periphery" ... the original source is not exactly clear.


What is the value of sine at pi?

One. Exactly one.


What is pi times pi exactly?

It is exactly pi2. Any other way you express it would be inexact. Pi, or any number that includes pi (like pi x 2, pi + 1, pi2, etc.) are irrational numbers - they can't be expressed as a fraction, with integers in the numerator and the denominator.It is exactly pi2.

What is PI exactly equal to?

3.14159265 ............ then possibly to infinity It's never been worked out exactly.


What do you have to divide by to get Pi?

Pi is an "irrational" number, which means that there are no integers that form a ratio exactly equal to pi. In other words, you cannot divide any whole number by any other whole number to get pi. 22/7 isn't too far off, and 355/113 is fairly close, but they're not exactly pi.


What is pi times 42?

Since pi can not be written exactly as a decimal or fraction, you have two options:1) Keep the answer as 42 pi, to have the exact value.2) Round the number pi to the desired precision, for example 3.14, or 3.1416, then carry out the multiplication.Since pi can not be written exactly as a decimal or fraction, you have two options:1) Keep the answer as 42 pi, to have the exact value.2) Round the number pi to the desired precision, for example 3.14, or 3.1416, then carry out the multiplication.Since pi can not be written exactly as a decimal or fraction, you have two options:1) Keep the answer as 42 pi, to have the exact value.2) Round the number pi to the desired precision, for example 3.14, or 3.1416, then carry out the multiplication.Since pi can not be written exactly as a decimal or fraction, you have two options:1) Keep the answer as 42 pi, to have the exact value.2) Round the number pi to the desired precision, for example 3.14, or 3.1416, then carry out the multiplication.


Does pie equal exactly 3?

No it does not exactly equal 3. Pi (that's how you spell it in math terms) exactly equals 3.14159265*just a note Pi does not in fact equal exactly 3.14159265 it is an irrational number therefor has no exact value although its decimal places will continue infinitely :)
