Re: [Phys-L] When mathemeticians order pizzas

[Anthony Lapinski <alapinski@pds.org>]

I remember my high school math teacher saying that two 10" pizzas is nearly
equivalent to one 14" pizza. Just calculating the areas.

So 2 x (pi 5^2) = 50 pi

And the another is pi 7^2 = 49 pi

I've never forgotten this neat fact, but I've had no use for it either.
