    Combining methods.

    Basically, if you were to combine methods of these maths formulas, then you would be able to do anything, maybe not as fast in the beginning, but, as you get used to it, much faster and more accurately.

    For geometry, one of the golden rules i find is to double all the numbers, so, you make that five a zero, and then you cut it there, then half it again, with a more definite answer for the equation.

    So, if you eliminate, give values for and so forth, for the whole equation, it will be so easy you will laugh!

    Subtracting fractions: 4 and 1/4 minus 3 and 3/4

    You add the fractions and put that number on the top, take one from the whole number and re-establish the denominator and there it is, so it then becomes: 3 and 5/4 minus 3 and 3/4 - answer being 2/4 or 1/2.
    4.25 minus 3.75 = .5 or one half.

    Make it easy.

    Best to sit and watch when you do it wrong.

    You gave the formula for the area of a circle.

    To find the circumference, you will use Pi x D.

    Pi being 3.1416 etc times the circle diameter.

    Parabola.

    If we were to take the circle at the top of the cylinder, at say three minimeters, we will get a ratio. if we were to take it again at another three minimeters, we will have something to compare it to. then, we could find the ratio of 'expansion.' easy so far?

    So, we want to find it at odd angles lower down. if we were to find the measurements of the total 'floor' of the cone, then we could fit it into the cone, and, ratio wise we could merely bisect it at any given point, and then 'split' it. this would be a direct comparison of that ratio i gave you in the beginning, being, the area of the first circle, compared to the ratio of the second circle coming down the cone, while it is easy to work out, and then saying that for every three millimeters of length between the 'base' or opening of the 'cone,' there would be that angle's worth of area, yes?

    Now, if you were to take the length from the 'climax' to the 'point,' then multiply the area by the length, then multiply that by the ratio of the first two measurements, then you would have your answer.

    Universal parabolic constant.

(The focus of the parabola is the point F and the directrix is the line L.)The value of P is[4]
    (sequence A103710 in OEIS). The circle and parabola are unique among conic sections in that they have a universal constant. The analogous ratios for ellipses and hyperbolas depend on their eccentricities. This means that all circles are similar and all parabolas are similar, whereas ellipses and hyperbolas are not.
    So, there is already a 'ratio,' yes?

    The average distance from a point randomly selected in the unit square to its center is[5]Proof.
    To find the average has already been worked out, but, to be precise could be the difference between a rocket traveling forty percent more finely, yes?

    So, we need to find a more accurate method, yes? the correct way to work out the selected to the unit square is to divide it by [four] and [times] it by three.

    Now, it must be a fifth, or, 20%, or, 14.66 degrees.

    I have SOLIDWORKS 3D Modeling ...

    You don't think I have time to actually do the math or the Business Risk

    Besides, two decimal places is not accurate enough.

    What surprised me is that the squares are the sum of their first power of the odd numbers. 1 + 3 = 4, 1 + 3 + 5 = 9, +7 = 16, +9 = 25... The first power (square root of the square) is also the number in the middle, or what would be in the middle in an even number of added odd numbers.
