π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle’s area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.141593 in the usual decimal notation (see the table for its representation in some other bases). The constant is also known as Archimedes Constant‚ although this name is rather uncommon in modern‚ western‚ English-speaking contexts. Many formulae

Why I choose these two reasons is due to the fact that me personally in the future i would like to travel

LESSON 1 REFLECTION It is important to critically analyze questions such as‚ what is pi? ‚ And what is the area of a circle? The obvious assumptions would be the numerical approximation 3.14 and the formula of the area of a circle‚ pi*r^2. However‚ as we soon learned Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter or the number of radius squares needed to completely cover a circle exactly. And the area of a circle is the unit squares needed to cover a circle exactly‚ or the space
