At around 1900 B.C., Egyptians estimated the value of pi to be 256/81.
An Egyptian scribe named Ahmes wrote the oldest known text to imply an approximate value for π. The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus dates from the Egyptian Second Intermediate Period - though Ahmes stated that he copied a Middle Kingdom papyrus (i. e., from before 1650 BCE). In problem 48 the area of a circle was computed by approximating the circle by an octagon. The value of π is never mentioned or computed, however. If the Egyptians knew of π, then the corresponding approximation was 256/81 or 3.16
The ancientsgave pia value of 3 which is wrong but even today we do not know its exact value only that it is the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter
It is the number whose square root you need to obtain.
P=19. Just add 13 & 6 to obtain value.

The Egyptians calculated pi to be 3.16.
Cats
The approximate value of pi used by the ancient Egyptians was 3.16
yes clothing were important to the ancient egyptians because it had value
Never saw that one before since christ was not about money. Money is a thing of this world it has no value to God.
The ancient Egyptians are believed to have used 22/7 which is 3.14285714...
3.16 its right do not improve!!
Dear Ask. What value of PI did the babylonians obtain?
The Egyptians in 2000 b.c.
