Two people found my review useful... there will likely be more. I owe that much to perspective buyers.

Given the definition of pi: pi = C/d Since either C, d or both must be an irrational input number then pi will be irrational number as well.

Of course pi is an irrational number. So would be the circumference of a circle of diameter 1. But YOU said that irrational numbers aren't right answers. Is the pi circumference of a circle of diameter 1 the right answer or not the right answer? |
