  • Remember from around the eight grade when some math teacher taught you how to get the area of a circle?

  • Lol, let me refresh your memory. Square the radius then multiply by pi (3.14). That's the area.

  • I did good in math when I paid attention, except for physics. I was lost, except I did learn to measure vectors, all forgotten now, tho. Flunked algebra from not paying attention.

  • Huh ...physics was the only part of  math I understood... and only the part about concave lens  and.. oh faak .. I forget all that then, nevermind.

  • I know you'll remember this sooner or later. Say the rug is four feet across. The radius will be 2 feet. 2 times 2 is the squaring part. That equals four feet. Or 48 inches. 48 times 3.14 is...the area. You'll dream about this tonight and wake up yelling "Oh yeah, I remember!". lol
