The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.
33 is the 21st composite number, and 8th distinct semiprime (third of the form where is a higher prime). [1] It is one of two numbers to have an aliquot sum of 15 = 3 × 5 — the other being the square of 4 — and part of the aliquot sequence of 9 = 3 2 in the aliquot tree (33, 15, 9, 4, 3, 2, 1).
A 150-by-135-metre (164 by 148 yd) football field has an area of approximately 15,900 m 2 (1.59 ha; 3.9 acres), twice the area of a Canadian football field and three times that of an American football field.
Level 1 players would assume that everyone else was playing at level 0, responding to an assumed average of 50 in relation to naive play, and thus their guess would be 33 (2/3 of 50). At k-level 2, a player would play more sophisticatedly and assume that all other players are playing at k-level 1, so they would choose 22 (2/3 of 33). [ 9 ]
In a fraction, the number of equal parts being described is the numerator (from Latin: numerātor, "counter" or "numberer"), and the type or variety of the parts is the denominator (from Latin: dēnōminātor, "thing that names or designates"). [2] [3] As an example, the fraction 8 / 5 amounts to eight parts, each of which is of the ...
The Chinese mathematician Liu Hui in 263 CE computed π to between 3.141 024 and 3.142 708 by inscribing a 96-gon and 192-gon; the average of these two values is 3.141 866 (accuracy 9·10 −5). He also suggested that 3.14 was a good enough approximation for practical purposes.
[2] The purpose of the proof is not primarily to convince its readers that 22 / 7 (or 3 + 1 / 7 ) is indeed bigger than π. Systematic methods of computing the value of π exist. If one knows that π is approximately 3.14159, then it trivially follows that π < 22 / 7 , which is approximately 3.142857.
