Given a spinner divided in 3 sections numbered 1, 2 and 3, and that the arc of section 2 is double that of section one (~57.6 cm), calculate pi to 2 decimal places. The radius of the spinner is 30cm and the angle sub-intended by section 3 is 30 degrees.
Use angle of section 3 to get ratios of arcs:Realise either one of the arcs 1 or 2 will do.Calculate 360-30 / 3 to get 110 degrees for section 1.Calculate ratio of arcs for section 1: 11/36
Find pi:Multiply arc1 length by 36/11 to get total perimeter.Divide by diameter: 2x30cmGet 3.141818... > 3.14
