Question, why is pi used so much in circle math?

because it makes perfect circles

 

[Ivyss]

because it makes perfect circles

But why?

 

[vessal]

But why?

because the greeks said so

 

[Ivyss]

Again, why?

 

[vessal]

it also makes it easy to get a more accurate answer

So wikipedia says pi is the ratio of circumference to diameter, but why is it that?

 

[Tibithia Σ]

Because we base everything on outdated systems.
Like turbines.

 

[Ivyss]

No but like why is it that the ratio of circumference to diameter is specifically the apparently infinite series of numbers that is pi?

I don't but this might answer why.
It's quite a long read so I can't say for though.

Why do we use Pi for finding the area of a circle?

Answer (1 of 18): This is due to at the moment there is no other way of estimating the area of a circle. It is always an estimation as pi has an infinite number of digits. Area to a number of digits = pi to a number x the radius squared. Let's set the radius to 1 to simplify the equation. So ...

I assume you mean specifically the first answer?

Yes.

Alright, I'll try to get to reading that later then.

Off the top of my head Pi could be represented by anything, we just chose Pi as the letter for it, when I think that when you actually do tne math for the ratio you should always get pi or something.
Not entirely certain, as this is just from memory.

Actually, that requires Quora+, so can't.

Nevermind then.
I wonder why I was able to read it.
I definetly don't have Quora+

yo what did u guys think of guardians of da galaxy 3?

 

[Tibithia Σ]

Have not watched it yet.

I haven't seen it.
Don't know if I will but as someone who doesn't watch a lot of Marvel movies it's higher up on the list of movies to watch since I've seen the other 2.

 

[Ivyss]

Haven't seen it either.

bro aint no-one like marvel anymore
