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.
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.
"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.

The value of pi is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
Lots of scientists have worked on evaluating pi. The question needs to be a little ,ore specific.
Archimedes (287-212 BC) was the first to have had a serious attempt at calculating pi.
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
No, the value of pi was not first calculated by Budhayana. It is debated who the first person was to calculate it. However, it is believed that Archimedes was the first to calculate it using polygons, while Ptolemy was the first to assigned it its current value directly.
