You want to calculate the circumference of a circular skating pond by multiplying the diameter times pi. Which of the following values of pi will give the most accurate answer: 3.14, 3.14159, 27, or 3.1416?

1 answer

To find the most accurate value of π (pi) to calculate the circumference of a circular skating pond, we can compare the given options:

  1. 3.14
  2. 3.14159
  3. 27 (This is not a reasonable value for pi, as it is not close to the actual value.)
  4. 3.1416

Out of these options, 3.14159 is the most accurate value of pi. It is the closest approximation to the actual value of π, which is approximately 3.141592653589793.

So, for the most accurate calculation of the circumference, use 3.14159.
