	Needing the area of an irregular Pentagon		2017-12-06
		Dale pose la question : I'm needing to find the square footage of an irregular pentagon. I've seen the other questions similar to this one, but without a great deal of difficulty can't get you the angle degrees, or the length between opposing angles. I'm hoping that a different bit of information can help. So here goes: The longest side is 67ft long. One of its legs is 39ft long, and the other is 18ft long. The leg off of the other end of the 39ft leg is 35ft long. The leg off of the other end of the 18ft is 49ft long, and meets the other end of the 35ft side. The information that I DO have, which I'm hoping makes the difference, is that the 39ft and the 18ft sides are parallel. Also, while the angles at each end of the 67ft side are not right angles, they are fairly close to it, approximately 80 degrees at the 39 ft side corner, and 100 degrees at the 18ft side corner. Dale. Harley Weston lui répond.

	Parallelogram area		2015-08-04
		Nigel pose la question : To find the area of a parallelogram you multiply the base by the height of the parallogram, the height being determined by an imaginary line drawn at right angles to the base.

	A raised bed in the shape of an octagon		2012-11-22
		pat pose la question : I want to make raised-bed gardens - usually 4' square, but want to be more creative by creating octagonal boxes. The ideal size for square beds is 4'x4'. The boards are 8' long, so I want to get as much out of a board as I can. If I want an octagon with a diameter of 4', I think the sides would be (rounded off) about 1.5' each using 2 full boards with a little waste and the growing space would be less than a 4' square (16 square feet). If I want to increase the length of each side to 2' each (getting the max from a board), what will the diameter of this octagon be so I can determine the growing space of the box. (The reason a 4' square is important in gardening, besides maximizing the wood, is that a person can reach into the center to plant and pick veggies without stepping on the soil, so diameter is important). My math days are long over and I'm having trouble working with octagons! Thank you! Harley Weston lui répond.

	Torricelli's trumpet		2009-07-29
		Gary pose la question : I was reading about torricelli's trumpet which is described by the equation1/x which is then rotated around the x axis which results in a figure which looks like a trumpet. Now in order to find the volume the integral 1/x^2 dx is used which diverges when integrated so the volume is finite.However if you integrate 1/x dx which is the formula on the plane the answer diverges. Now if you took an infinite area then rotated it around the x axis shouldn't you get an infinite volume? Notice the area I am talking about is under the line 1/x not the surface area of the trumpet which is what the painters paradox is about What am I missing? Thanks Robert Dawson lui répond.

	Surface area of an irregular shape		2008-12-15
		Patrick pose la question : An irregular shaped object (lets say a gold nugget, not smooth with pockets) can have its volume determined by comparing its mass in water. Is there any method or means or anything that could be used to determine the surface area of this shape? Whether that be theoretical mathematical formula to using a special infrared technique,etc... The problem I foresee is that the component parts cannot be divided into smaller geometric shapes. I would propose an answer although I don't know if it is a good one: A liquid material that dries super-thin, but has a very specific and easily determined volume/mass is coated over the object. Measure the mass difference between the beginning sample of fluid and the mass after the object has been coated. Then determine the surface area of the same mass of fluid in a geometric shape. Is this feasible? Robert Dawson lui répond.

	Perimeter		2002-06-05
		Tava pose la question : I'm a grade four student from St. Mary school. In class we've been dicussing perimeters. So this is what we did; First we each got a piece of paper in the shape of the geoboards and our teacher told us to find as many different shapes of area of 12 square units. During this time we were given to find perimeters of shapes that had twelve square units one of our classmates discovered the biggest perimeter possible with twelve square units of 26 units. Another classmate discovered the smallest perimeter of fourteen units. Here's a question: Why are all the shapes with fourteen units all the same shape? and why are all the shapes with twenty-six units can be different? After we found the biggest and smallest shapes our teacher told us we each had to find at least one shape of the biggest and smallest. After we each foud a shape with a perimeter of twenty-six and fourteen we had to find different shapes with different perimeters. During that time we discovered different perimeters. What we found was fourteen all the way up to twenty-six, but they all went by two's. Why didn't they count up by 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 etc? I think it's because the area is an even number. See if you added one "block" or "square" to it you always add three because at least one of the sides is together with another side. Whyare all the perimeters all even numbers? Penny Nom lui répond.

	Area Calculation		1998-05-05
		Jessica pose la question : There's a question I have that I hope you can answer about calculating area. It seems to me that common sense says that if you have say 100 meters of fence, the area you can enclose should be a constant. Yet the math says it is not so. For example if you build a rectangle 10x40 the enclosed area is 400 square meters.
