Quoted: I work with a person who holds a BS and MS in a hard science and an MBA. They asked me if the area of a circle was it's diameter squared. Shoulda told him if you divide by 4 and multiply by pi it is.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ive had to figure out an OD/circumference plenty of times, but I've never had to calculate area of a circle in my adult life for anything, and I would be hard pressed to do so without googling that (admittedly remedial) formula  If we're making fun of educated people itt, I know of one who tried to knock out a plasma torch cut with his bare hand on a piece of 3/8" steel plate  He was removed from the operations aspect of the company following that lol. If the pussy can’t bare hand a plasma cut then he should be removed. No pie for you. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My FIL was an EE who owned several EE firms and did contract work for the DoD. The man was dangerous around electricity and could fuck up a car's electrical system just by checking the oil. To be fair, Electrical Engineering has about the same relationship to an electrician as a Mechanical Engineer does to a carpenter. I have both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in EE, and never took a single class which discussed household wiring, wire gauge requirements, or the usefulness of a circuit breaker in keeping things from catching fire, for instance. Electronic circuit analysis or the solid state physics behind a transistor - yes, took a whole lot of that, but never touched a soldering iron in college either. Mike |

I learned it in school.
But that was 50 years ago. I don’t think I've used it since college. That's a long time to remember something you don't use. Seems like the perfect use of Google. pi times the radius squared (A = p r²). |

If you want to check just where on the moron scale they fall, ask them if they know how to calculate the volume of a cylinder after you've told them how to calculate the area of a circle.

I loathed math in school, however, pie r squared burnt into my brain as "Square pie", which was kinda funny, so I remember it.
I was the asshole kid who would "never use this in real life". Now I own a business and train people to calculate annular capacity, which is just a shitload of geometry.

To be honest after doing so many classes and such on shaft design this past semester I am used to the diameter based area equation. It is generally much more convenient.
A = pi/4 *d^2 but I assume by the OP you mean he thought it was A=d^2 |
