  I smell a quantum mechanics professor there.

    Astronomers would round pi to 1.

      Or 10, whatever. The precise value is only relevant when measuring the curve of space, and they’ll still disagree with mathematicians on most of the digits.

  Ancient Greek Mathematicians would be so disappointed. Even they knew that pi is between 3.1 and 3.2.

  They’re rounding down

  POV your state just mandated you round pi to the nearest integer (this has happened a few times, but it never sticks)

    It has happened??

      All the time, though usually never goes as far as actually passing. It’s rare that it does make it to law, but it does happen.

  Well, with those numbers, it’s easy math. :)

  V=510^210

  5,000. 5,000 what though?

  Even with a proper π value, it still doesn’t make sense… 3,141.59265359

    What? Its just the volume, without units. What part of it doesn’t make sense?

      Well, a r=10 and h=10 doesn’t mean much without units. 10 what? Feet? Meters? Inches? CM?

      Let’s take the OG numbers and assume feet, so 5,000 cubic feet. That’s not a useful volume measurement.

      1 cubic foot of water = 7.48052 gallons

      So 5,000 cubic feet of water = 37,402.6 gallons. That’s a viable volume measurement.

      1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters.

      5,000 cubic meters = 5,000,000 liters.

  As a dyscalculic, I can’t solve this but I don’t see a problem here… I see all you people freaking out that the little symbol thing equals five but it’s a little symbol thing haha it doesn’t have to be pie haha it could be a little symbol thing.

  You should write"come see me after class* as your answer.
