    How old were you when you dropped maths? 8?

    Actually, the area would be 49π/64. The circumfrence would be 7π/4.

      I'm sorry for anyone I offended. I thought he was looking for circumference, not area.

      Again, I'm sorry.

        There's only one decimal point in pi.

        There are billions of decimal places in pi.

        Since the word is inferred, we all go with "places" and move on with our merry lives.

            To this day scientists are still trying to find the last decimal place. And Braydz, stfu, an example is an example, but blatantly bashing some one is something else.

                    I hope you all believe that I know 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399 375105820974944592307816406286208998628034... The bolded number is suicidalmuskrat's only mistake.

                    The best fraction I know of for pi is 355/113, but it is still not exact.

                      There is not last decimal place to pi. Pi is an irrational non-repeating, non-terminating decimal.

                        actually a good formula for pi is:

                        16arctan(1/5)-4arctan(1/293)

                        me and my friend are going to break the home number of digits calculation with that. We are building a beowulf cluster in his basement. SOOOO COOL!!!

                        and yes, there is an end, and we will find it

                          16arctan(1/5)-4arctan(1/239)

                          I think you made a typo. I fixed it for you. When I typed your equation in my calculator, I got about 3.144 something. With this one, I got 3.141592654, and the 4 is only because of rounding.

                            48arctan(1/18 )+32arctan(1/57)-20arctan(1/239)

                            is another better well known formula.

                              I know 51. I learned a song with a guy singing 51, so that's how i memorized it. By the way, they have calculated it to about 1.2411 trillion digits. I also have 10 thousand digits hanging kon my wall. I'm not a geek... I swear!
