What with Kevin Kim and Eric the Blade both deeply involved in mathematics these days, I am pleased to submit for your consideration an algebra problem posited by Houston Steve:
Let V equal the volume of a circular pizza of thickness a and radius z. What is the formula for V?
[Answer will be published in the comments.]
That's a geometry problem not algebra.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is V= (pi)z^2 * a.
Or, rather V= (pi)zza
LOLLLLLL
Cute problem. I like it.
ReplyDeleteAs for classifying it as geometry, not algebra: I'd agree that it's a geometry problem, but since geometry builds upon and often requires algebra ("V = pi*zza" is an algebraic expression, after all), it's no less an algebra problem.
And now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteWhat Kevin said.
ReplyDeleteWho cares? Let's eat that sucker!
ReplyDeleteThe answer is No Anchovies
ReplyDelete(Pizza)piR^2?
ReplyDeleteNope...pi r round!
hahahahahaha!
