1. What don't you understand?

It can be simplified to this:

All of trig (and areas of circles and a lot other math) is complicated by being based around a piece of data (pi) that is not only not-terribly-useful but is arguably the most inelegant constant that could have been chosen out of a multitude of constants of ratios of circles.

The underlying math is less important to understand than that is.

2. Yeah, I don't get it either

Why would anyone cut such a skimpy skinny slice of pie?

3. I was wondering the same thing.

Why bother asking for a teeny, tiny slice.

4. and where's the whipped cream topping?

This whole thing is suspect to me...

5. Because they did it twice

that's where they got the 2 pi

6. I'm going with the old adage...

The Pi is a lie.
