    with radius r is: C = 2(pi)r ...where "pi" (above) is of course the number approximately equal to 22 / 7 or 3.14159. They gave me the value of r and asked me for the value of C‚ so I’ll just "plug-n-chug": C = 2(pi)(3) = 6pi Then‚ after re-checking the original exercise for the required units (so my answer will be complete): the circumference is 6pi cm. Note: Unless you are told to use one of the approximations for pi‚ or are told to round to some number

    History Mathematicians have known about pi for thousands of years because they have been working with circles for the same amount of time. Civilizations as old as the Babylonians have been able to approximate pi to many digits‚ such as the fraction 25/8 and 256/81. Most historians believe that ancient Egyptians had no concept of π and that the correspondence is a coincidence.[4] The first written reference to it dates to 1900 BC.[5] Around 1650 BC the Egyptian Ahmes gave a value in the Rhind Papyrus
