Title: Math knowing type people and such.... Post by: PaunchyBald on August 08, 2009, 07:27:35 AM how do I figure the square footage of a trapezoid? I haven't done this computation in 35 or more years. Off to google now.

Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such.... Post by: PaunchyBald on August 08, 2009, 07:49:58 AM Well, I'm just as ignorant as I was a few minutes ago. Here are the dimensions for those of you who are more learned than I; paralell sides are 30' and 21' the angled sides are both 33'.
and where in the hell is the speell chacker? I never could speell parallell. [sm_banghead] Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such.... Post by: stroh on August 08, 2009, 07:54:10 AM If a guy knows how to figure a triangle, couldn't you cordon that off, and compute it, then just add that to the remaining "square"?
If not, shutting up and going away. Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such.... Post by: stroh on August 08, 2009, 07:55:51 AM Also, I'm sure there's "An App For That." ;D Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such.... Post by: Aske on August 08, 2009, 08:16:32 AM h*(b1+b2)/2
Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such.... Post by: birdymaker on August 08, 2009, 08:33:00 AM what is the width? H
Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such.... Post by: spacey on August 08, 2009, 09:21:19 AM h is height*. Add the lengths of the two parallel sides, divide that by two and multiply by the height.
Or go here: http://www.csgnetwork.com/areatrapezoid.html *(The distance between the two parallel sides, not the length of the of the two non-parallel sides) Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such.... Post by: Uisce Beatha on August 08, 2009, 09:31:53 AM H is a voiceless pharyngeal fricative. Thus changing the formula to (b1+b2)/2*h.

I got 637.5 for the area which I presume = sq footage I guess I really should have paid attention in high school, instead of 'partakingoftheherb', drinking, and trying to copulate with high school girls. I recently went to a multi-decadal reunion, and I didn't remember any of what people talked about. I was 'toasty' most of the time then. Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such....

It was the 70's didn't exactly put us in the minority. ;) Title: Re: Math knowing type people and such....
