Pi is the number used to find the circumference or area of a circle. It is also used to calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere, cylinder, and cone.

It can be shortened as 3.14

Numerically it is 3.1415 then a long string of numbers that never end as it is an irrational number. Over 1 million decimal places to the value have been identified. Some folks use 22/7 as a quick value for pi as it is within 0.3% of the correct value.

Pi ( π) is the ratio between the radius of a circle and its circumfrance. The value allows calculation of the area and circumfrance of a circle and the volume of a sphere.
