Because when you’re dealing with measurements that are in the billions or trillions, you start working with orders of magnitude instead of specific numbers. A difference of a million miles is insignificant when the galaxy you’re measuring is 500 trillion miles away.
Just wait until you find out astronomy uses pi=10.
What?! Why?
Because when you’re dealing with measurements that are in the billions or trillions, you start working with orders of magnitude instead of specific numbers. A difference of a million miles is insignificant when the galaxy you’re measuring is 500 trillion miles away.
Then why not use 1? It’s closer to pi than 10 and even easier to calculate with.
Amateurs, in MY field I use pi=100
In MY field, I use pie = tasty
calculations become a lot easier when you use pi=0
the pi(e) is a lie
