Among the most famous is the formula from Gregory and Leibniz:

[tex]\pi = 4 - \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{4}{7} + ...[/tex]

A finite one is Machin's formula:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}\pi = 4 arctan (\frac{1}{5}) - arctan(\frac{1}{239})[/tex]

Hello, thank you for reaching out for help with your physics problem. Calculating the number pi is a common assignment in physics and mathematics. The most common way to find the value of pi is by using the formula pi = circumference/diameter or by using the infinite series formula pi = 4(1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9...). However, it seems like you are using a different formula that involves the inverse sine function and square root. I am not familiar with this specific formula, but it may be a valid method for finding the value of pi. I recommend double-checking your calculations and making sure you have the correct formula before submitting your assignment. If you are still unsure, I suggest asking your teacher or a classmate for clarification. Good luck with your assignment.
