You have just entered room "powwowMay13."
AME has entered the room.
KOH has entered the room.
Let's go around and have everyone share a greeting with the group. I'll start by
LAV saying that I'm really looking forward to seeing you talk about math tonight!
AME Ok
AME Hi
KOH Good Evening to all of you!
AME U2
KOH both of you...
KOH sure, thanks
If you create a picture that you would like to share with your group, you can IM
LAV it to MFpowwow.
KOH ok
AME ok
AME Ya..... not much of a group is it............
AME Are we expecting more people
LAV we got two people for the chat
KOH aye, we do
AME ok
KOH so...
LAV other people didn't show up
KOH aye
LAV do you feel comfortable working in a group of two?
AME Yes
KOH in a pair, u mean
LAV yeah
KOH yes, two is good
LAV great
LAV so you can start
KOH no more than 4 is what I perfer
KOH ok!
KOH so I was thinking...
AME Me 2 lets get started then
AME Yes go on
LAV go ahead
KOH the wall supports are circular
AME Yes
KOH with D of 1.5"
AME I don't think so
KOH oh,
KOH so what do you think the wall support is shaped, then
AME They are 1.5 inches wide( i don't know what D is)
KOH diameter
KOH sorry...
AME How can the wall supports have diameters
AME They are not circular
KOH really?
KOH then u wanna say its a rectangular prism or something?
AME I think they are just bars or something
KOH aye, bars... with circular bases, thats what I said
AME Ok
AME Thats fine then
KOH so u accept my assumption?
AME yes
KOH thank you...
KOH so how thick do you think the wall is?
AME I was wondering how the answer is what they said on the site
AME They got 18022 or something
KOH they told us the answer already?
AME but they forgot to take out the thickness of the wall
AME I submitted my answer
KOH oh, really
KOH cool...
AME They told me if i was right or not
KOH I am too afraid to send in my answer
KOH I see
They check and see if you're right and only a couple of people with good
AME explanations and stuff can be posted on the internet
KOH yes, I noticed that
AME So even if you submit the wrong answer, your ok
AME anyway
KOH aye, I will need more time...
AME Do you have any idea of how thick the wall sopports are
KOH no
KOH it says 1.5" thick
AME no
AME It says 1.5" wide
AME not thick
KOH oops
KOH ok
KOH so what did you write as your answer?
I was thinking if the pool has any chance of being an 18 sided regular polygon
AME
KOH may i take a look at what u have wrote?
KOH hm, no
AME or an 18agon(I don't know what they are called
KOH its not a 18gon
AME I don't know where that page is
AME I said like 17988 or something
AME They said it was close enough
AME But their meathod was a bit off
KOH oops, I see
KOH I myself got 167.95
KOH what did they say to your wrong solution?
AME My solution was correct
AME I don't know how though
AME Hold on a bit
KOH ok
AME The answer is 18,020 according to them
AME They said the circumference of the pool is about 1044 inches
AME You still there?
KOH ok...
KOH its not what I got, though
AME then the diameter of the pool is 332
AME Radius is 167
AME The volume of the pool in inches is 350463
AME which is about 18,000 gallons
AME But i disagree
AME How did you get your answer?
AME You still there?
KOH oops
KOH sorry
AME no prob
KOH my dad used the compu for a while
KOH lets see
AME ok
KOH maybe my calculator was a bit old
AME lavenderuc04 says the wall dosn't have a thickness
KOH what!
KOH no way!
AME I donno but thats the problem
KOH that does not apply to real life!
AME ya
KOH it only applies to the geometry figures!
KOH no, never has a wall that has a thick ness of 0!
AME Me too
KOH never!
AME I would hate to swim in that
KOH so...
KOH yeah!
KOH hahaha, I see what u mean!
KOH but u wear swimsuit anyway...
KOH so why does it matter?
AME I can't swim if there is no wall!
KOH hahaha...
AME If the wall dosn't have a thickness then how can if be 3-D?
well, in Geo figures, lines are rectangles with a width of 0 and a point is a circle
KOH with a radius 0
KOH yes, I agree with you
AME yes your right
KOH in geo figures only!
KOH not real life like it says so
Then in that case its just water shaped in a cylindrical way with nothing to hold
AME it.
AME That bends law of physics too?
AME *!
KOH yes
KOH hahaha!
KOH I love your humor
KOH ur funny
KOH so...
AME I dunno
AME I guess we solved the prob?
this is what I wrote in my math notebook: There are 18 small outer sides of
KOH walls
KOH 18*56.5=1071= C of big circle
KOH C of big circle=1017
KOH oops
AME no
KOH 1017
KOH sorry for the mistake
AME You have to add 18*1.5 also
KOH yeah
KOH thats what I forgot
KOH aye, I am getting old
AME That equals 1044
KOH oh
KOH so we find the D or R using 1044
AME Yes
AME D = 1044/pi
KOH yeah
AME Thats 334
AME 334/2 = 167
KOH ok
KOH hm?
AME Base Area = 167^2*pi
KOH I got 332 as diameter
AME Ya close enough
AME Maybe your calculater rounds of pi or something
KOH oh
AME any way
KOH I pushed in 3.14 for pi
AME Oh
KOH u used the pi sign
AME I used 3.141592653.........
AME Yes
KOH oops...
KOH ok...
AME dosn't matter
KOH my head is not large enough to hold large #s
KOH I see where I got wrong no
KOH now...
AME 167^2*pi = 87616
KOH but dont forget the thickness of the wall!
AME lol
KOH 167-1.5!
AME No
AME 1.5 isn't thickness
KOH then its not good!
KOH wait...
AME 0 is thickness
KOH u think its not good?
AME ya
AME This problem is inconsistent
KOH they said the thickness is 0?
AME no
KOH I think the same.
AME we assume it is cause they don't say its thickness
KOH that does another trick to my thinking.
KOH damn.
AME anyway
AME we can do the math easily from there
KOH yes...
AME so r we done?
KOH but I need to go now...
AME oh ok
KOH since I know now what I got wrong, I will send in my solution
AME ok
KOH and tell them that its inconsistant
KOH and ask for help.
KOH hm!
AME ok
KOH and remind them its real life, not geo figures
AME u doing the geo powwow?
KOH and complain.
AME or algebra sorry
KOH well
KOH maybe...
AME may 13th
KOH I need to see the problem first
AME 7:00 PM
KOH gotta fly!
AME ok
KOH bye!
AME bye
KOH has left the room.
AME has left the room.
