You need to go to a bakery to find 'pie'.  What you may find on your calculator is 'pi' which is the way that the Greeks pronounce <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=pi ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"pi\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >, the 16th letter of their alphabet.  The area of a circle is <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=A+=+pi%2Ar%5E2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"A+=+pi%2Ar%5E2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  You are given a radius of 25.  So multiply 25 times 25 and then multiply by <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=pi ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"pi\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > using your calculator.  You will get an answer with lots of decimal places, but round off to only 1 decimal place (i.e., the nearest tenth) </SPAN>\n" );
