Keep them brains racked... what is the exact value of pie and no stupid £1.32 jokes XP lol?

Question

come on guys we can do it!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I am a chef, and the exact value of pie depends on what I put into it. I think you mean Pi, which is a Greek word, which is used to express a mathematical formula. A pie is a dish of fruit, meat or vegetables, or any combination thereof, enclosed in a pastry case or topped with pastry or potato etc, and has mathematical affinities only in relation to the proportions of the ingredients and the temperature at which it is baked.

Pi is useful to chefs, as part of its functions is to determine elements of the structure of a circle. Pies are often round. So, when I make a pie, I use Pi!

Sorry, old Bean, but you really walked into this by your mis-spelling of the mathemetical Pi.

Answer 2

Pi is the mathematical ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter. It's approximate value is 3.14159265. As other people have pointed out it's value appears to go on for ever without repeating or coming to an end. Normally it's good enough to use an approximation of Pi's real value, 22/7 gives Pi accurate to 2 decimal places (3.14), and that's normally sufficient. If you want to get more accuracy, you can use 355/113 which gives Pi to 6 decimal places (3.141592.)

Answer 3

Seriously, the 1.32 pound joke is actually pretty close since you typed "pie"

As for the actual value, use 22/7 for fractions, cubic root of 31 for radicals (suggested), and you're better off just using the symbol for decimals.

Answer 4

Di9d you see the rather gifted individual on TV the other week, who is a maths genius? He sat and recited, without error, Pi to 22,000 decimal places! He sees maths problems as being shapes, for example 37.43 is a shape on the left, in his head, and 54.12 is the shape on the right hand side of him. If you ask him to divide one by the other, he sees the link between them as a shape, a jigsaw puzzle piece fitting perfectly, and reels off the numbers around the outside. He can also tell you the 11th of June, 1948 was a Wednesday, or whatever, almost instantly!

Answer 5

Ian, there is no EXACT value of pi, When you get tired of calculating after the decimal point, you can consider that the answer. In high school, the instructor was satisfied with 3.1416. But it just goes on and on and as far as is known, never ends. So TRY to rack YOUR brain around that, and move on!

Answer 6

Pi is an irrational number, which, simply said, means that it has an infinite number of decimal places. Therefore, they cannot all be listed here but here are the first thousand:

But there are formulas that can give you an exact value in sigma notation, or something similar. Here's my favorite one:

Pi squared over nine equals the sum of one over n squared, as n
increases from one to infinity. (It's impossible to write out mathematical symbols in this text box.)

In simple English, that means that 1 over the square of 1 plus 1 over the square of 2 plus 1 over the square of 3 and so on and so on until eternity is equal to the square of pi divided by nine.

By the way, it's useful to memorize the first few digits of pi. I memorized the first 250, but you don't need to go that far. It's definitely handy to know the first 10 or so.

Answer 7

22/7

Answer 8

first of all, its spelt 'pi', not pie.

secondly, pi is an irrational number and therefore it cannot be specified exactly. every persons value for pi is an approximation.

however, i can tell you that pi is sometimes referred to as the 'ludolph's constant, named after "Ludolph van Ceulen (1539 -1610) " as he correctly identified pi to 35 decimal places in 1610. this would remain unbeated for almost 100 years until Jurij Vega (1680-1751) calculated pi to 100 decimal places in 1706.

Answer 9

Mags J must have failed her degree if she couldn't work out that 355/113 is a fraction that closer approximates pi than 22/7

Answer 10

The exact answer is 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510.. Pie doesn't end. Thats all I know mentally. Good luck. If you any more help email at [e-mail]
