This is a math riddle for pi day I can’t understand. There was one with the pi symbol in a pumpkin so it was obviously pumpkin pie, so what would this one be? Any ideas?

Answer 1

This is the math riddle for pi..

Explanation:

They mean by this question, What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin pie by its diameter?

Pi is the ratio of circumference and the diameter. and people want to understand why pi =3.14. ... very long explanation. This will be college level to understand these math.

We don’t really need the diagram at this stage of course.

The internal angle is 180o−360o / 24=180o−15o =1 65o . Half of this is 82.5o . The perimeter is now 24x so we have:

24 x /h = 24 / tan(82.5o) Rather remarkably:

So tan(82.5o) =√+2 + √+3+√+4+√+6

24 x / h = 24 / ( √+2 + √+3+√+4+√+6 ≈3 .1596599421

Taking a few more steps:...very long detail explanation.
