Hey!
To start this problem, we'll most likely need a calculator. Handling can get a little messy, and tricky.
(also note that "pie" is a food, the mathematical term , is pronounced "pie", but spelled "pi.")
Anyway, multiplying 3.14159265359..... ()
160 = 502.654824574...... going on and on.
In general, these types of problems are better for a calculator if you want an exact answer. Otherwise, just resort to estimation. is pretty close to 3.14.
160 3.14 = 502.4, which is decently close to our other answer.
Hope this helps!
