08/27 14:48:16 kluftern3: u had woo last yr rite?
08/27 14:48:31 Me: Yes.
08/27 14:48:38 Me: And this year for AP chem.
08/27 14:48:45 kluftern3: how do u make the cube wit one piece of paper?
08/27 14:49:10 kluftern3: the liter cube thingy
08/27 14:49:43 Me: oh
08/27 14:49:49 Me: damn it, he mentioned me, didn’t he? He compliments me a little too much
08/27 14:50:12 kluftern3: yup
08/27 14:50:17 Me: what grade are you in?
08/27 14:50:18 kluftern3: yea he saids ur brilliant
08/27 14:50:20 kluftern3: soph
08/27 14:50:23 Me: oh
08/27 14:50:27 kluftern3: ya
08/27 14:50:31 kluftern3: so how do u do it?
08/27 14:50:52 Me: well, think about it. Circles have the smallest perimeter to area ratio, and so does its 3d equivalent spheres.
08/27 14:50:53 Me: right?
08/27 14:51:04 kluftern3: sure
08/27 14:51:11 Me: Therefore, the best you can do with what you got can be done with a cylinder
08/27 14:51:16 Me: A paper is how wide and how long?
08/27 14:51:22 kluftern3: i ono
08/27 14:51:24 kluftern3: hmm
08/27 14:51:56 Me: Look, get a cm ruler
08/27 14:52:01 Me: measure the length and width
08/27 14:52:31 kluftern3: 26.6 x 20.3 cm
08/27 14:52:37 Me: >_>
08/27 14:52:44 Me: I don’t trust that. I’ll measure it myself
08/27 14:52:53 Me: damn I don’t have a ruler
08/27 14:52:54 kluftern3: well it says so on the fuking packaging
08/27 14:53:02 kluftern3: so im guessing its rite
08/27 14:53:36 Me: >_>
08/27 14:53:38 Me: anyway
08/27 14:53:45 kluftern3: ok
08/27 14:53:45 Me: it’s 28 cm by 23~ cm
08/27 14:53:51 Me: all you need to know is 28 cm
08/27 14:54:05 kluftern3: uh huh
08/27 14:54:10 kluftern3: soo…
08/27 14:54:12 Me: that length is the circumference of the planar representation of the cylinder.
08/27 14:54:21 Me: So 2pi R is the circumference right? Of course, so solve for R
08/27 14:54:29 kluftern3: yes
08/27 14:54:38 kluftern3: i thought we had to make a cube
08/27 14:54:45 Me: PI x R^2 x H = 1000; solve for H
08/27 14:54:54 Me: He didn’t say cube
08/27 14:54:57 kluftern3: rlly?
08/27 14:55:05 Me: he said anything that represents 1000 CM^3
08/27 14:55:11 kluftern3: o ic
08/27 14:55:31 kluftern3: well how do u do the ends of the cylinder?
08/27 14:56:01 Me: >_
