As I stated in another post, π is NOT defined as a
value. It is defined as a RATIO. The ratio being, the ratio between
the circumference and diameter of a circle, any circle. The numeric
value of π needed for a calculation is dependent
only on the number of significant digits associated with the measurement taken
or needed. Nothing more.
