      We all know Pi is 3.14, and we all know circles are round. Well, you should know. How big is a circle? That is our main question today. We are trying to figure out how big a circle is or a circle's circumference. You find the circumference by multiplying pi (3.14) and the diameter. Lets say we know the radius is 3...inches. Our diameter would be 6 inches because the radius is half of the diameter. So multiply 3.14 and 6 and get 18.84. Your circle's circumference would be 18.84. It's really easy to find circumference,

     Hello everyone! I'm back from my cruise in which I had a BLAST! I got to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, wherever I wanted. Speaking of food, I'm hungry... HEY PI! If you get that joke, well done. If you don't here's a clarification. Pie is a food, Pi is a number.

I've learned throughout the year I've been in school that Pi goes on for a very long time and my math teacher, Mr. Dorman brings Pi to school (3-14-13[15]) every year and in 2015, boy its going to be CRAZY for him! We normally use 3.14 for Pi, not the whole nine yards. "The whole nine yards" is an idiom that basically is saying, you don't need to do it all when you could o a little and get the same results.
