Can someone please provide a real life situation outside of work where you would ever use pi, sine/cosine or any trig concepts, or my personal favorite standard deviation or whatever other BS I memorized temporarily in statistics class back then?

These arent the same but sure. Stats are used in all these dumb survey testing,or trying to extrapolate polls.
things like standard deviation or descriptive statistics can be used in stocks and volatility.
I'm not in finance but finding all the diff ratios can show your company's performance in certain ways.

You never build anything where the area or circumference of a circle is useful? The same with knowing the length of a or all sides of a geometric shape? I have calculated the hypotenuse of a triangle many times when I was building things.

standard deviation
Is it not helpful in understanding data knowing what an average, mean and standard deviation are and how they are derived? I feel like I run into these concepts fairly regularly.

People with a good understanding of what a standard deviation is (not necessarily being able to calculate it) will be getting more useful information from the current Hurricane Delta prediction cone than people who don't have that.
