The Bible, a book that is considered the perfect word of a perfect god tells us what the value of Pi is. Let's see verse 1 Kings 7:23
 He also melted a sea of ​​ten cubits from one side to the other, perfectly round; Its height was five cubits, and a cord of thirty cubits encircled it.

 These are a list of specifications for the great temple of King Solomon, built about 950 BCE, and his interest here is that it gives a value of π = 3. If we divide 30 cubits between 10 cubits (which are the measures mentioned in written radical) gives us exactly 3.

 We know that the length of the circumference is calculated l = 2 · π · r; Since 2 · r is the diameter, it can also be said that

 circumference = diameter × π

 If we go back to what the Bible says, the diameter is 5 meters and the circumference of 15:

 circumference = diameter × π -> 15 = 5 × π

 with which the value of π is 3.

 This calculation of Pi is a bad approximation to the real value. The figure of 3 in the Bible compared with the real one which is 3.1416 ... indicates an error of about 6%.

Three times the sum of a number and 17 is at least 22 translate
shutvik [7]
Hi there!
We are given a question that asks us to translate some given information into numerical format, or numbers. We can do that by first finding key words. Such words are sum and at least. Sum indicates addition, while at least indicates a greater than or equal to sign, or ≥. Now that we have found our key info, we can move on.
The question states that 3 times the sum of a number and 17. The 'sum of a number and 17' part can be represented by the expression x + 17, where x is some number. Next, three times means that we need to multiply 3 to the expression x + 17, giving us 3(x + 17). Finally, the question gives us that the whole expression 3(x + 17) is 'at least', or greater than or equal to, 22. Hence, we get the inequality 3(x + 17) ≥ 22, which is also our answer. Hope this has come of assistance to you and have a great day!
