GUATEMALA CITY - Torrential rains brought by the first tropical storm of the 2010 season pounded Central America and southern Mexico, triggering deadly landslides. The death toll stood at 15 Sunday but authorities said the number could rise.
Archimedes proved the formula for the area of a circle (A = Ï r 2, where r is the radius of the circle) and showed that the value of Ï lay between 3 + 1/7 (approximately 3.1429) and 3 + 10/71 (approximately 3.1408).
It ranges from -1.0 to +1.0. The closer r is to +1 or -1, the more closely the two variables are related. If r is close to 0, it means there is no relationship between the variables. If r is positive, it means that as one variable gets larger the other gets larger. If r is negative it means that as one gets larger, the other gets smaller (often called an inverse correlation).
