Pi is the circumference of a circle and is found within the formula c= π*d = 2*π*r
Pi equals a circles circumference divided by its diameter. So when you plug your number in your trusty calculation the answer should roughly be 3.14159… pi is also an irrational number which basically means it cannot be expressed exactly as a simple fraction. Hope this helped

Answer:The ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius, which gave a value of pi = 3. One Babylonian tablet indicates a value of 3.125 for π, which is a closer approximation.
