COLUMBIA, S.C. — In meteorology, Pi plays an important role.
There are several applications of the constant, including calculating the circumference and area of weather systems, such as hurricanes.
For example, when calculating the area of a hurricane, meteorologists can use the formula A = pi*r^2, where A represents the area and R is the radius of the circle.
This formula can estimate the extent of the system's influence on surrounding areas. The result is more accurate forecasts and warnings.
