Explanation of Solution

Machin’s formula is given as,

π4=4arctan(15)arctan(1239)

π4=4arctan(15)arctan(1239)π=3.1416

Leibniz’s formula is given as,

π=4143+4547+49411+...

The approximation till the fourth term is given as,

π=4143+4547π=2.8952

MATLAB Code:

% MATLAB code to calcualte the value of pi by different options.

%script file.

function select = pivalues

select = menu('select a option for pi', 'Machin''s formula', 'Leibniz''s formula:n-terms','Leibniz''s formula:good approximation','Exit');

%select the different options in menu.

while select == 0

disp('not valid! please choose one of the choices')
