If you import math and use math.pi instead of 3.14 you'll get a more accurate result.

I think it's considered good practice to put the code for your main program into a function called main() and call that. Makes it easier to say things like:

(Toggle Plain Text)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

If you don't want that part to run when you import the file just to use its calculation functions, for example.
