Title: Ever have a Pizza while on the road with your Pagoda / Pagode ?
Post by: Rolf-Dieter ✝︎ on November 22, 2014, 16:59:09

I know some of you out there are mathematicley inclined. So let me share this with you ....  If you have a pizza, whose thickness is “a”, and radius is “z”, then the volume of the pizza is calculated by the following formula:
 
Volume is equal to pi * z + z * a . . . spooky eh?  ;D

Spooky, Maybe....
but I suspect slightly incorrect....

Volume =  pi x radius x radius x height, and since radius = diameter / 2,

that would make it

Volume = pi zz a  divided by 4,

i.e. I think you only get a quarter of your pizza delivered  !

Keep well

Sorry but you are both wrong.  It's simply pi*z*z*a.  No addition of the z's or dividing by 4.  RD just needs to rotate his + 45 degrees so it's an x.

I'll have to remember that on RD.

Quite right you both have sharp eyes :) I guess I had a senior moment when I typed the formula ~grin~ my bad

Correct,
I misread the original, and thought z was the diameter..
