Jim is travelling from Toronto to Ottawa 2005-08-15
Eleanor pose la question :
Hi! I am looking for an easy way to solve this type of question: Jim is travelling from Toronto to Ottawa, a distance of 435 miles. He travels part of the way at a speed of 100 km/h and because of an accident, he uses a secondary road and travels at 70 km/h. If the trip took him 6.5 hours, how far did he travel on each of the two roads.

Is 360 Really the correct value? 2005-08-15
Jack pose la question :
Considering the circumference of a "Perfect Circle" with a Diameter of 1 meter would be something like 3.14 meters, why do we use the number 360 to represent the number of degrees within that circumference?

Would it not make more sense to express the degrees in reference to the relationship to the diameter as related to pi?

That is, let's just say our "Perfect Circle" has a circumference of 3.14 meters, therefore, what we now consider as due east would change from 90 Degrees to 78.5 Degrees.

Framing an arched wall 2005-08-12
Mike pose la question :
I'm framing a building wall with a curved (arcing) top section. The radius of the section is 74'6" with a height above finish floor of 16'0". The horizontal run of the arced section is 23' 1 1/2" with a low height above finish floor of 12'4". If I start with a 16' stud at the high end how long are the subsequent studs if they are on 16" centers? Short of laying this out on a tennis court how can I work out the lengths of the studs?
