The meaning of pi is when you calculate the volume for cylinders, cone, and spheres. A cone volume shows
(1)/(3)
\pi
r^2h. You see, it shows pi. Also, pi means 3.14 in approximation, but if it was not in approximation, it would have been 3.141592654. Pi is a irrational number, since it goes on forever. For the circumference to the diameter (of a circle) formula would be
\pi = C/D. And there more about the definition of pi, it is also the sixteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, considering to be the letter P.

Hope this helped!

Answer:


\pi-\bold{pi}\\\\\pi\ \text{it's the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter}\\\\\pi=\frac{\text{circumference of a circle}}{\text{circle diameter}}\\\\\pi\ \text{it's irrarional number}\\\\\pi=3.14159265358979323846264338327...\\\\\text{Approximation of}\ \pi:\\\\\pi\approx3.14\\\\\pi\approx(22)/(7)\\\\\pi\approx(355)/(113)

The number pi occurs when calculating the surface area or volume of the rotational solids.

Cylinder:


S.A.=2\pi r^2+2\pi rH\\\\V=\pi r^2H

Cone:


S.A.=\pi r^2+\pi rl\\\\V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2H

Sphere:


S.A.=4\pi R^2\\\\V=(4)/(3)\pi R^3

The number pi occurs when calculating the area and the circumference of a circle.


C=\pi d=2\pi r\\\\A=\pi r^2

It is also used to convert angle measure in degrees to radians.


x^o=(x\pi)/(180)\ rad
