Activity 10-12: Extraordinary Pi Name:

Pi is the number of times a circle’s diameter will fit around its circumference.

Here is pi to 64 places:3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923

Pi occurs in hundreds of equations in many sciences including describing DNA, a rainbow, ripples where a raindrop fell into water, distribution of prime numbers, geometry problems, waves, navigation, etc.

Half the circumference of a circle with radius 1 is exactly Pi. The area inside that circle is also exactly Pi!

Taking the first 6,000,000,000 decimal places of Pi, this is the distribution:0 occurs 599,963,005 times 1 occurs 600,033,260 times 2 occurs 599,999,169 times 3 occurs 600,000,243 times4 occurs 599,957,439 times 5 occurs 600,017,176 times6 occurs 600,016,588 times 7 occurs 600,009,044 times8 occurs 599,987,038 times 9 occurs 600,017,038 times

Pi is irrational. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed in the form (a / b) where a and b are integers.

The Babylonians found the first known value for Pi in around 2000BC; they used (25/8) The Egyptians used Pi = 3 but improved this to (22 / 7). They also used (256/81).

In around 200 BC Archimedes found that Pi was between (223 / 71) and (22 / 7). His error was no more than 0.008227%. He did this by approximating a circle as a 96 sided polygon.

Ludolph Van Ceulen (1540 - 1610) spent most of his life working out Pi to 35 decimal places. Pi is sometimes known as Ludolph's Constant.

The first person to use the Greek letter was Welshman William Jones in 1706. He used it as an abbreviation for the 'periphery' of a circle with unit diameter.

The Pi memory champion is Hiroyoki Gotu (21 years old) who memorized an amazing 42,000 digits.

Pi was calculated to 2,260,321,363 decimal places in 1991 by the Chudnovsky brothers in New York.

Most people would say that a circle has no corners - but it is more accurate to say that it has an infinite number of corners.

At position 762 there are six nines in a row. This is known as the Feynman Point.


Activity 10-13: Circumference and Area Name:

Circum means around or bend around. Ferre means to bring or carry. The circumference of a circle is the measure you need to get around the entire circle. Circumnavigate means to sail around the globe.

Important formulas for circles:

Radius to diameter: Diameter to radius:

Circumference: or Area:

Activity 10-15: Inuit Architecture Name:

Activity 10-17: The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge Name:

The Margaret Hunt Bridge was completed near downtown Dallas in March 2012, almost five years after construction began. The bridge cost $182 million to build and it was made out of 11,643,674 pounds of structural steel. It is a cable stayed bridge, not a suspension bridge.

The bridge cables are two different sizes. There are 44 large cables that have a diameter of 6.3 inches and are made up of 31 individual strands of wire.

Activity 10-19: More Circles Name:

1. Draw a circle similar to the one below with a dot in the middle without lifting your pencil from the paper. Can it be done?

2. A pizza parlor has 3 size pizzas. Would you get more if you had one small pizza, three-fifths of a medium pizza, or one-third of a large pizza?

SIZE DIAMETERSmall 10 inch diameter

Medium 14 inch diameterLarge 18 inch diameter

3. In the picture below, the circle’s area is what percent of the larger squares area? If the larger square has an area of 10 square inches, what is the area of the smaller square?

4. Queen Dido’s Cutting Trick: Take a 3x5 index card. Fold the card in half hamburger style. Start your first cut on the fold just barely in from the side. Cut almost all the way up to the top. Next cut from the top almost all the way back to the bottom. Continue until you end up with an odd number of cuts. Unfold the card and cut all the folds except for the ones at the end of the card. You will have a circle big enough to step through!

5. Draw two squares so that each dot is completely contained in a region by itself.


Activity 10-20: Hot Tubs Name:

Hot tubs and in-ground swimming pools are sometimes surrounded by borders of tiles. You have a square hot tub with sides of length b feet. Your tub is surrounded by a border of square tiles. Each border tile measures 1 foot on each side. How many 1-foot square tiles will be needed for the square border of the hot tub that has edge length of b feet?

Draw separate pictures in which you group the border tiles in different, logical arrangements and then express the total number of tiles needed with equivalent expressions (one for each picture you have drawn).

This problem tells you specifically to draw pictures, so that must be the strategy! Luckily for you, the pictures have already been drawn for you on the other side. Your job is to look specifically at how the tiles have been grouped to come up with an appropriate expression using numbers, variables, and operations. Hint: If you simplified all your expressions, you would get the same answer every time.

Four segments + Four corners Two long segments + Two short segments

Four segments – Four corners All shading – Inside shading (since they are covered twice)

Can you think of any more logical configurations? If so, draw them

and determine their formulas.
