conversation with my daughter as she is taking a geometry test online:

her: I just thought of something about a trigonometric function question

me: what?

her: If you're able to measure the angle of a diagonal barn door beam and the length of one part of the door, you can use that same tape measure/yardstick to find out how long the piece of wood you need to replace is
Just saying

me: maybe you don't have a tape measure, maybe the one part of the door has length markings on it and all you have is a protractor. I mean, it is a barn after all, so there should be a pro-tractor there ...heh

her: UGH

I love the fact that you were able to implement that into your response as it it clear to me that your have lofty expectations for your daughter.

impressed the hell out of my daughter this evening by helping her figure out the volume of a wide, shallow cylinder where radius = z and height = a

V = Pi * z * z * a

Hmmm, there is a V Pizza locally here. :think:

Instead of "The Art of Pizza", they should use the slogan "The Geometry of Pizza"

Welcome - V Pizza

The pizza guy asked me whether he should cut the pie into 8 pieces or 12 pieces, I replied, "Oh 8 pieces please, there's no way I could eat 12"

My brother in law is very happy about this. I assume it has something to do with Garth Vator and Cylons or something.

Facepalmed for the insinuation that I may actually have something in common with your BIL. I assume that's the one you complain about his Facebooks all the time.

I don't complain ALL the time.

Sometimes, I am asleep.

I'm sure he thinks the Star Trek universe espouses conservative values somehow.

No god, no money, no poverty...what else would they have to cling to?
