anyone know why when i put C/2pi into my calculator?... i get a number that is around 10 times bigger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you trying to solve? what's the c?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

10 times bigger than what /

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well roughtly.... c is just a constant i'm just wondering why i have to put 2pi in parenthesis. If i do it like this c/2/pi... i get the right answer idk if it's a calculator failure or something

hartnn (hartnn):

because calcy takes it as (C/2) * pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh lol that would make sense lol

hartnn (hartnn):

yeah that actually pi^2 = 10 times approx

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

not just calcy... PEMDAS also states that c/2/pi = (c/2) * pi
