pi

Roughly three-point-fourteen

Pi (π) is the mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter—approximately 3.14159, extending infinitely without repeating.

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (3/14).

Calculate the area using pi times the radius squared. (Capitalized Pi is the Greek letter; PI is private investigator.)
