Subject: pi r squared....
Terry K. Many thanks for the correction re the cubic footage... What is remarkable is that I have managed to
survive and even prevail with almost no ability in maths whatsoever. Most complicated use I faced was old Pythagoras when calculating the pitch of the roof about to be built on my shed when I knew the corrugated sheets came in 10 feet lengths. (I got it right too). And then there was the time I tried to lag a hot air pipe from the furnace. Pipe was, say, 27 feet long, 2 feet in circumference and the lagging material came in 18" wide
bits 12 feet long. How much lagging did I need? Once I sorted out the difference between pi r squared and 2 pi r,
I was off and running!
Churchill insurance in England charged me 2% more on my motorbike premium because I used a credit card, and the buggers don't take cheques. Seems very mean.
