	A hexagonal planter		2020-05-28
		Callie pose la question : Hello, I'm having trouble cutting my angles for my 2 x 4 planter. I did exactly as I've watched and read and mine is just not turning out! Ok, so I want 6 or 8 piece hexagon. With an interior of about 10". So I understand that the boards can be any length, but its the 30 degree or 22 1/2" angles that matter. So. How do I figure how long my 2 x 4 is with 6. and another 8 pieces of 2 x 4 to make this planter and at what angle. So does the length determine the angle?

	Pouring angles for a crucible		2008-12-20
		Richard pose la question : I am trying to work at pouring angles and volume left in during pouring a crucible, The crucible is cylindrical and flat bottomed. I know the diameter, radius and volume of the crucibles. and the volume of liquid going into it. So lets say the crucible is only half full firstly I need to work out the angle just before its going to pour. ( I can work this out as long as there is a certain volume of liquid if its not enough I cant do it) Now the problem I also need to work out how much I should tilt the crucible to allow a certain amount out and be able to do this untill the volume reaches 0 at 90' turn. This is where I am stuck. The reason for needing to be able to work this out is so i can develop a constant flow for example 10Kg of metal per second. Thank you very much for you time Harley Weston lui répond.

	Why is a circle divided into 360 degrees?		1996-09-30
		Kurtis Kredo pose la question : I was recently wondering why a circle has been divided in to 360 degrees. When I asked my physics teacher he could not think of an answer.
