who discovered the value of pie(22/7)?

Answer 1

The mathematical constant π is an irrational number, approximately equal to 3.14159, which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter in Euclidean geometry, and has many uses in mathematics, physics, and engineering. It is also known as Archimedes' constant (not to be confused with Archimedes number) and as Ludolph's number.

In Euclidean plane geometry, π is defined either as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, or as the ratio of a circle's area to the area of a square whose side is the radius. The constant π may be defined in many other ways, for example as the smallest positive x for which sin(x) = 0. The formulæ below illustrate other (equivalent) definitions.

Answer 2

The approximate value 22/7 for pi (not pie) is so old that no individual could be given the credit for it.

The much closer approximate value 355/113 was discovered around 500 AD by the Chinese mathematician Zu Chongzhi or Tsu Ch'ung Chi.

Answer 3

The value of π has been known in some form since antiquity. As early as the 19th century BC, Babylonian mathematicians were using π = 25⁄8, which is within 0.5% of the true value.

The Egyptian scribe Ahmes wrote the oldest known text to give an approximate value for π, citing a Middle Kingdom papyrus, corresponding to a value of 256 divided by 81 or 3.160.

The English amateur mathematician William Shanks, a man of independent means, spent over 20 years calculating π to 707 decimal places (accomplished in 1873). In 1944, D. F. Ferguson found that Shanks had made a mistake in the 528th decimal place, and that all succeeding digits were fallacious. By 1947, Ferguson had recalculated pi to 808 decimal places (with the aid of a mechanical desk calculator).

Answer 4

The actual value of pi(∏) was determined by Aryabhatta an Indian Mathematician which was 3.14.In India still this value is in use. But pi symbol is used for caluculation of circumferce,base area,area (and volume for solid figures in space)as 22/7.But according to Egyptians it seems it was 3.16.

Answer 5

Democrats have family values as well. They just don't feel they are the only ones who own them in a world presumed to be divided only by liberals and conservatives. Expand your vision, open your mind, and you won't feel so threatened by it. Hillary Clinton stayed married in an unconscionable situation splashed all over the world to see and is criticized by many Republicans for it. Why was it not termed a family value in her case? Hillary Clinton was not talking about fighting family values when she was talking about fighting the opposition. I think its pretty obvious what she was talking about. I don't have to belittle you or myself by going into that. Hillary Clinton is pushing for teaching children the value of life rather than trying to make abortion illegal. Not a family value to you? All you wish to do is demonize half of the population of the U.S. when you only see one side of any issue in the area of politics. Rush Limbaugh will never unite America nor make her great. He is a divider of the worst kind.

Answer 6

Okay its pi and not pie. If you want the value of pie it depends on where you buy it and if its on sale or not, and if you have a coupon and if the store doubles or triples that coupon. You see there are so many unknown variables.

Answer 7

Aryabhatta has been regarded as the discoverer of the value of pie. But it may also be the ancient greek mathematecians

Answer 8

That isn't the value of Pi, although some people use the approximation. It has been known more accurately than that since the Greeks divided the circle into triangles and computed the total length. Now a formula relates it and it has been calclated to millions of digits to test computers. 3.1415926.........

Answer 9

aryabhatta found the value of pie maybe when he was working on area of a circle

Answer 10

Archimedes of Syracuse discovered
