I hope you had a good weekend. As promised today I will talk about using Pi in .

You can call up Pi in the CAL command by simply typing “pi” (without quotation marks).

For example, if a circle has a radius of 5 units, you could calculate the area or circumference in the methods shown below. Type CAL on the command line and at the Expression prompt type one of these formulas:

..to calculate area:

pi*5*5

…or:

pi*sqr(5)

…to calculate circumference:

pi*10

…or:

pi(5*2)
