It's National Pi Day . . . as in 3.14, because it's March 14th. But a recent poll found a third of Americans don't know what "pi" is. Some just have a vague notion it has something to do with math.
19% said they had no idea what pi is . . . 3% thought it was the hypotenuse of a triangle . . . 2% said angles in a parallelogram . . . 1% said the volume of water . . . and 7% thought it was the "mass of a pie," spelled P-I-E. (???)
Two-thirds knew the correct answer: It's the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It's used it all areas of math and physics to calculate stuff.
