What is the example of truncation error?

Suppose you want to calculate the area of a circle with a radius of 10 cm.If you use pi = 3.14 the area will be calculated as 314 cm^2if, instead, you use pi = 3.145159, the area will be 314.5159 cm^2if you use pi, as used by Excel on my computer, you will get 314.159265358979 cm^2.If you use the most accurate value of pi (currently around 10 trillion digits) you will get a more accurate value of the area.The difference between the calculated value and the true value is the truncation value.


Who were the first people known tofind a value for Pi?

No one has ever found the exact value of pi because it is an irrational number that can't be expressed as a fraction and its value has been calculated to more than two trillion digits yet still not found exactly.


Can the exact value of PI be calculated?

"Not as a decimal or fraction as there are an infinite number of digits." This is a common and useful answer. The *correct* answer is that PI is firstly an irrational number that cannot be calculated from any ratio (fraction). Secondly, PI is a transcendental number that, by the definition of "transcendental", cannot be exactly calculated. The nest you can do is to apply an infinite convergent series that becomes more and more accurate with more and more decimal places.


What is one third times pi?

One third times pi can be calculated by multiplying 1/3 by the value of pi, which is approximately 3.14159. Therefore, 1/3 times pi equals approximately 1.0472. This can be simplified to the fraction 10472/10000 or the mixed number 1 and 472/10000.

Who calculated the value of pi?

It is still being calculated. Supa-Dupa computers have calculated 'pi' to at least 50 billion places and still going. The ancients would have calculated 'pi' to at least 10 places. or more. estimates for pi are 3.14, 3.1416, 3.14159 or 22/7 They are all approximations. pi is an irrational number, which means it cannot be converted to a ratio/quotient. The Classical Greek mathematician , Archimedes, calculated 'pi' to a degrees of estimation.

How can the circumference of a circle be calculated?

The circumference of a circle can be calculated by multiplying pi by the diameter of the circle. For example if the diameter is 10 then the calculation will be pi x 10 = answer. The most commonly used value for pi is 3.14
