Question for the maths whizziz.

[MereNovice]

Red face here.
Sorry, as pointed out above, the square would be 23ft by 23ft so 92ft in "length".
Oh dear, silly me.

[MereNovice]

In fact, I got the radius of the circle wrong too so you can ignore ALL the numbers in my response.

i make the smaller sq 92 foot....the square is obv 23x23x23x23 because its a foot inside all the way round. thats just in my head. kids running round destroying stuff but will do you the cicle in a moment coz dad comes first

Step aside boys, MereGeek is on thread.

PS - What price he answers the question WITH a question?

"Well, it depends, you see......"

The problem seems to have been clearly expressed so I don't see any need for a "it depends ...".

The smaller square is 96ft in length.

The circumference of a circle is expressed as 2 * pi * radius.
The radius of a circle with circumference of 100ft is 16ft (and a bit).
Therefore we need to know the circumference of a circle with radius 15ft (and a bit).
The circumference of the smaller circle is 93.76ft roughly.
So the smaller circle is smaller by about 2 1/4 foot.

For those that don't know, the radius of a circle is the distance from the centre to the edge.

My Maths is rusty but I think this is wrong, this would only give 0.5ft of space between the inner and outer square.

Red Dog, I meant inner circle is 1.7xxxxft longer than inner square

Kinboshi thinks the square is inside the circle.....

I was going to reply precisely the same, you saved me a job.

should copy someone who's got it right next time imo

[smashedagain]

cicle is 93.7 imo sq 92

[smashedagain]

i worked out the diameter of circle coz circum = 100 so circum is 22/7x diameter so 100x 7/22 = diameter of 31.18 (odd) therfore inner circle is 29.18 odd multiplly this by 22/7 again to get 93.7

which is what starwars put str8 away and chip prince illustrated nicely

Yup, can't even rely on geeks these days.

Yeah, sorry misread.  Thought you said a circle inside a square (100ft) compared to a square inside a circle (100ft).  Serves me right for trying to do that and work at the same time

[smashedagain]

there is some shocking maths here from old school guys who are meant to be able to at least work out pot odds..delete this thread imo before the young guys all wake up at tea time and rip the piss out of you on a basic maths problem.

I was setting a trap for you - worked a treat.

lol mere and tony. perfect answers
