To determine which value of pi will give the most accurate answer for calculating the circumference of a circular skating pond, we should compare the options based on their precision:
- 3.14 (approximate, 2 decimal places)
- 3.14159 (more precise, 5 decimal places)
- 227 (not an approximation of pi)
- 3.1416 (approximately 4 decimal places)
The most accurate value among these options is 3.14159, as it provides the greatest level of precision for calculations involving the circumference of a circle.
