Let's assume that when you say "pi" you are talking about that famous mathematical constant---the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
You ask, "what is it used to measure?" It's not clear to me what you mean by that. Pi is used in an awful lot of mathematical formulas and procedures. My guess is that you're probably asking about something you recently learned in class (i.e., your teacher has given you a homework question that you don't understand.) When that happens, the best thing to do is to ask the teacher if you can. If not, try asking somebody else in the class. If none of your classmates understand it either, then your teacher isn't doing a very good job of teaching you. You all should get together and as him (or her), and if your teacher still doesn't have time for you, then you should complain to the principal.

How is pi used in basketball?
Pi is used in basketball to measure the curcumference of diameter in the basketball itself, the hoop, the rim, and the ring that the players do the jump ball in.-Sanderson Pickweal .
How does radian measure is related to degree measure?
In radian measure, 2pi radians is a full circle. In degrees, 360° is a full circle, so 2pi radians = 360°. If you want to convert: Radians = (2*pi/360)*Degrees = (pi/180)*degrees. And Degrees = (180/pi)*Radians.
When was the symbol for Pi first used for Pi?
The first time the symbol Pi was first used for Pi was in ancient Greece in their numbers. The symbol "π" was number 80 in Greece.
How dou find diameter?
You measure it. If you know the radius (of a circle), you multiply it by 2 to get the diameter. If you know the circumference of a circle, you divide by pi to get the diameter.You measure it.

What is the measure of each angle of a hexagon?
in a regular hexagon, pi/3 radians
How has pi changed math?
Pi has undoubtedly contributed to math. Pi can be used for calculating circles and was used to measure distances without doing it the harder way....
How can pi help you measure?
Pi is not a size. Pi is usually 22/7. Sometimes also 3,14. Pi is used to measure area and circumference of a circle, and the volume of sphere / tube. If there is no pi, then the area and circumference of circle, and the volume of sphere / tube will not be counted.
Who figured out the value of pi that is used to measure the area of circles?
Archimedes of Syracuse

What are the two formulas pertaining to circles that pi is used in?
Angular measure of a circle: 2*pi radians. Circumference of a circle with diameter d units: d*pi units
How to convert radian measure to degree measure?

How do you measure the circumfurance of a circle?
circumference = 2*pi*radius or diameter*pi
