Bundles of wood 2007-11-19
From Darcy:
When you purchase a "bundle" of wood at the store, it is marked .75 cubic feet. What is the formula for figuring out that measurement for cubic feet and what fraction of a true cord of wood (128 cubic feet) is it. I would appreciate the formula so I can build a spreadsheet to help my secretaries and myself be in compliance to the law when selling firewood. Thanks.

The length of a cut 2004-09-17
From Florita:
My daughhter, who is a 9th grader is attempting to cut a piece of wood after determining the length of the cut for the hypotenuse. These are the measures: a=4squared, b=6squared.

She determined that c should equal 52. But when she measured the actual piece to be cut, c measured 39.5 inches! Can you offer any insight as to what she is doing wrong? I have suggested that she may be working with an Acute rather than a Right angle . But she insists that it is a Right angle after using a "framing square".
