Formulas
I had tot ake a Math test yesterday for the math class I am taking through ICC. This class is fun because I've been able to take it without opening my book. I love easy online classes. But yesterday I had to take the "Final" at ICC. We could take a notecard putting on it whatever we want...so I thought I'd put the formulas for area and perimeter on it. Well, Bethany called me early yesterday to wish me good luck. During this conversation I thought I'd check her ability to remember formulas from high school...
The next few minutes I found out just how much of a nerd Bethany is...
"What is the formula for the area of a trapezoid?"
"Umm....1/2 b x h"
"What is the formula for the perimeter of a sphere?"
"umm...pie x r x d"
This sort of logical nonsense went out for four or five formulas that the normal person should not know. Now, I can understand if you're into construction, or have ever built something. Then some of these might be useful. But for a person who has never constructed anything beyond a neat card or a note folded into a triangle, this is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
So here's to you Bethany....the biggest nerd I know!!!

yeah, she's definitely up there
uhhh...you need a FORMULA to figure out perimter?
not the sharpest knife in the drawer, eh?
you must be going in to ministry seeing as how you're such a math whiz

Dude, i think you should submit your scientific anomoly girlfriend to a jeopardy-esque gameshow. It could work out for you in the end. At least that's what i would do.
Okay, so this is going to increase my nerd radar...but actually you did not quote me right and those formulas are incorrect. haha...area of a trapezoid is: 1/2(base 1 + base 2) x height. And then the circumference/perimeter of a circle is pie x d.
....and i'm a loser. LOL:)
