Question

Does anyone know why people chose 3.14 as pi?

Answer 1

What exactly do you mean?

Answer 2

Also, welcome to Open Study!

Answer 3

Thank you, and what I'm asking is like, why just 3.14 and not 10.72? Or something else

Answer 4

pi is the ratio of circumference to diameter

Answer 5

So if you were to use any other number besides the value of pi (3.14159...) you would not get the correct circumference of your circle. Does this make sense @Vanquish ?

Answer 6

Yes that does make sense, thank you very much! @HailKK

Answer 7

No problem!
