If your girlfriend wants the chairleg again, do yourself a favour. Lubricant my friend. Get the butter from the fridge. Or perhaps get creative with the whole thing and invite her parents to join in.\n\nBless you child.

The simple way to find the area of any shape is to break it up in to trangles and squares.  \n\n\nOr use integration... but i do not think that is what you are looking for

Set up a ratio:\n\n1.5 = 4\n___  ___\n1_____x      (I put the bar there so it would stay lined up)\n\nCross multiply to get:  1.5x = 4\nDivide both sides by 1.5:  x = 4/1.5 = 2.666667 or \n2 and 2/3 cups

Plumb in the vertical and square in the horizontal.\n\nYou can use a square or measurements to determine square in the horizontal plane.  Use plumb bob, or level to determine if it is perpendicular to the ground.  Not sure what you are trying to do.

Assuming this means a circle...\n\ndefn/:\n\nc=circurmfernce\nA=area\nr=radius\nd=diameter\npi=pi (~3.1415926...)\nd=2*r\n\nC=2*pi*r=d*pi\nA=pi*(r^2)...(area is pi*r squared...pie are squared-no there not their round).\nA=pi*(d^2)/4.\n\njust plug and chug...\n\nC=10*pi.\nA=25*pi.\n\nanswer:\n\nit's that simple

You need to take triangles with leg length 2-sqrt(2) from each corner. That is about 0.586".\n\nThe length of each side of the octagon will be 2 * sqrt(2) - 2. This is about 0.828"\n\nThis was calculated by setting the length of each leg of each triangle to x.\n\nhypotenuse = remaining side of square\n\nx * sqrt(2) = 2 - 2x. And then solve for x.

so the cover wont fall in the hole.  a round cover cant fit through the hole no matter which way it is turned.

You need two nails, a pencil, and a string. Tie the string in a loop, put it over the two nails in the wood, and trace the oval with the pencil, guided by the string. Simplissimo!

That'd be your B string. Take the peg out of the bridge and put the end of the string that has the little round bit in. Then place the peg back in and pull the string so that it locks in place under the peg. Pull the string up to the head (it's the bottom middle peg that it needs togo through) and put it through the peg. You'll want a bit of slack, but not too much. About enough that you can put both your hands under the string one on top of the other should do it. Then hold the string down at the nut (the little plastic bit where the neck meets the head) and start turning the tuning peg toward the body. This will make the string wrap around on the correct side so it doesn't rub the E string. While you are doing this make sure to keep pressure where the string is on the nut and don't let the peg come out of the bridge or the winding string pop off the top of the tuning peg. Just tighten it up and there you go!\n\nHope this helps! Good luck!

Since you have a circular hole you have to make the next operation:\n\nFirst multiply the diameter (wide) by PI (3.1415926535)^2 and divide the result by 4 (or multiply by half the wide  by pi^2 and don't divide by 4 it's the same result).\n\nThat's 30 feet by 9.8696044 and divided by 4 the result equals 74.02203300 square feet.\n\nThen multiply by 0.5 feet (that's 6") to get the volume (that's the cubic feet) and equals 37.01101650408 cu. feet.\n\nJust in case you need to know

The most strait forward way is to use the quadratic formula. You just do simple adding, powering, rooting, and you get the answer. It works the 100% of the time. There is also the filling-in-the-square, but that's too much work compaired to the quadratic formula.

I would just measure it, cut the measurement in half for your radius, then set your geometry set or watever to that radius. Draw the circle, drill a hole in the circle and cut with a jigsaw. Then make sure the hole is snug, and use silicon for sealant ( may need stronger if it is enclosed )
