When calculating the area of a circle, ancient Babylonians multiplied the square of its radius by 3. Evidence has been found which shows that ancient Babylonians later managed to narrow its value down to 3.125.
At around 1900 B.C., Egyptians estimated the value of pi to be 256/81.
22/7 or 3.142857...
actually pi existed thousands of years ago the first reference comes from the vedas which tells pi divided by ten accurately to 15 decimals. in 2500 to 3000 bc.then babylonians,egyptians,greeks,indians,e.t.c have approximately found the value of pi.archimedes told that pi lies between 3.1429 and 3.1408.aryabhata describes pi as 3.1416.indian mathematical genius ramanujam has invented a formula for pi,using this pi's value can be found correctly to billion decimals.recently in 2010 a super computer using his formula calculated pi to 10.6 trillion decimals.
First divide by (2 x pi) to obtain the radius. Then calculate the area with the well-known formula for the area of a circle: A = pi x radius2.First divide by (2 x pi) to obtain the radius.

Dear Ask. What value of PI did the babylonians obtain?
When calculating the area of a circle, ancient Babylonians multiplied the square of its radius by 3. Evidence has been found which shows that ancient Babylonians later managed to narrow its value down to 3.125.
The first to find the value in pi were the Babylonians and Egyptians.
Egyptians and Mesopotamians and babylonians
The Egyptians and the Babylonians are the first cultures that discovered Pi about 4,000 years ago.
In ancient Babylonian and Biblical times the value of pi was considered to be about 3
The ancient Babylonians from around 1700 BC used pi = 3.125. The name of the person who calculated that value was not recorded.
At around 1900 B.C., Egyptians estimated the value of pi to be 256 / 81 .
The ancient Babylonians from around 1700 BC used pi = 3.125. The name of the person who calculated that value was not recorded.
Pi came from the Babylonians in 3000 B.C.
They put the value of pi as about 3 but even today we do not know its exact value only that the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter is equal to pi
The Babylonians probably didn't use "pi", as it is a Greek letter and I don't think the civilisations overlapped.
