Title: Just a little question
Post by: Millionlittlee on August 19, 2013, 06:37:55 AM
Math for fun

Pretty easy question I want to make a game I ask a question and someone answers it then ask their question, all with a twist it has to be math related

I'll start what is the formula to find Pi

Hint it's easier then you think

Pi was used in several different ways throughout history, the one that I know to answer your question was 22/7.

If train A leaves station A going 85 mph traveling a total distance of 147 miles, and train B leaves station B 20 minutes earlier, traveling 95 mph with 2 stops of 5 minutes each with a rate of acceleration and deceleration at 2 mph per second, traveling a total distance of 170 miles.  How late for work are you going to be?

If I remember correctly, the area of the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza divided by twice it's height is roughly equal to pi
