Answer:

See below ↓

Explanation:

When multiplying a number by 3.14, which is the simplified version of pi, it will give a constant term. But, when multiplying by π, the actual value is equal to 22/7, and it is a non-terminating decimal. Therefore, when you multiply any number with 3.14, it will be slightly lesser than when you multiply with π.

  • 1225 x 3.14 = 3846.5
  • 1225 x π = 3848.451
