How did I know?

I'm Batman.

How funny if ShyGuy is the teacher or someone else connected to the class.

"Honest Mr. Alling, I didn't go to the Internet for help. Nintendo World Report? Nope, never heard of it..."

Personally I don't think that is that big of deal.  If I ask for a formula from some people, thats the same as going to a website to find a formula written by some people.  Also, I didn't exactly go with what Proffessional 666 gave me.  I varied it a little. Plus had to explain it in good detail for credit.

Took me a good 10min.

Don't you dare to ever try that, I need that theorem for my CNC Applications course.

KDR doesnt help with homework

Alright so I turned this in.  Got my grade back, I got 1/10!! Wow, I guess I didn't understand something!  I know it is only extra credit, but I will take what I can get.  I don't know what I did wrong... WOW  I pretty much turned in a version of what Professional 666 gave me...

Maybe ShyGuy told on me. ha ha

[ShyGuy]

That's not all. Mr. Cash is keeping an eye you for inventory shrinkage.

[Kairon]

OUCH! Did uh...is there uh... any more extra credit? Because Pro's solution should be correct, if a little sparsely explained. Did your teacher want you to write out a more detailed explanation or something?

Oh, and I think that Shyguy DID tell on you...  

[DAaaMan64]

Mr. Cash no longer threatens me.  I do not work there.

There is more extra credit and I will do as much as I can Kairon.

Ya I don't understand it either. Considering I testing it again the idea that the smallest possible radius is 12 inchs.  Hmm...

But seriously ShyGuy, I still don't know who you are, but whatever... haha Your just a good guesser  

[stevey]

Pro is 100% right in his math.

Did you show your work clearly? Drew a circle, shown the right triangle, ect?

[odifiend]

Is there a numerical answer?
I got r = sqrt(144+d^2/4) inches.
That problem is not hard unless you are supposed to get a number.  Radius is your hypotenuse, the foot is your short side and d/2 is your long side.  I don't think pro's logic is right or I don't get it anyway...

[stevey]

no it's r=d²/96+6

work

[GoldenPhoenix]

See, I KNEW my answer was right!
