I’m not a developer, just a programmer. I believe pi and e are just stored as constants, not calculated.
But trig functions are calculated. See CORDIC algorithm: CORDIC - Wikipedia
Be Excellent,

Actually, calculating area of a circle or even a numeric sequence is still limited to 14 dp accuracy. There are other algorithms that can produce the digits of pi rather than an approximation for pi.
