I hope that Leesa Johnson and the "Guest" who wrote that [tex]9\pi[/tex]= 9 times 3.14 know that "3.14" is an approximation to [tex]\pi[/tex], not actually [tex]\pi[/tex] 9(3.14)= 28.26 is an approximation to the area of a circle of radius 3. (And "Guest"S suggestion that 9(3.14) is equal to 27.97 is not even a good approximation, its just wrong!)
