Proof that 22/7>pi. By: ZackeryPriebe 1/9/14 1st hour
What is the Purpose? The purpose of the proof is not primarily to convince its readers that 22/7 (or 31⁄7) is indeed bigger than π; systematic methods of computing the value of π exist. If one knows that π is approximately 3.14159, then it trivially follows that π < 22/7, which is approximately 3.142857. But it takes much less work to show that π < 22/7 by the method used in this proof than to show that π is approximately 3.14159.
