Posted by Train Dude on Thu Dec 15 10:14:03 2011, in response to Re: Art, posted by Fred G on Thu Dec 15 09:47:21 2011. For the record, 22/7 was a very early approximation of pi. It was used by the Egyptians as late as the 3rd century BCE( Which may explain the shape of pyramids)and by the Chinese as late as the 5th century CE. Perhaps not accurate enough for NASA, for our purposes it represents an error of 0.04%. I see nothing on this venue that requires much greater accuracy than that. You may now continue. |
