minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down9·3 months agoWell, a r=10 and h=10 doesn’t mean much without units. 10 what? Feet? Meters? Inches? CM? Let’s take the OG numbers and assume feet, so 5,000 cubic feet. That’s not a useful volume measurement. 1 cubic foot of water = 7.48052 gallons So 5,000 cubic feet of water = 37,402.6 gallons. That’s a viable volume measurement. 1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters. 5,000 cubic meters = 5,000,000 liters.

minus-squareTlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down14·3 months agoIf we’re not calculating something useful, then why are we here and not in the library learing about the universe? Better question: What curvature of space is necessary for the apparent value of π to be 5?
minus-squareEddoWagt@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·3 months ago If we’re not calculating something useful, then why are we here and not in the library learing about the universe? We’re learning maths, which is arguably the foundation of the universe. Better question: What curvature of space is necessary for the apparent value of π to be 5? I’m afraid that that is beyond the comprehension of my human existence
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·3 months agoThe unit is unit. The math doesn’t care, and what you’re on about only really matters if the units don’t start as all the same or if you start converting between things.

minus-squareSteve@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down2·edit-23 months agoLiterally the correct answer. Must be a bunch of engineers in this thread.
