;D To all in this thread; Phonics, Phonics Phonics learned at an early age. Now, did you mean pie or PI? ;D ;D Definitely 'pie'! Can't use a word borrowed from another language to illustrate an English phonetics rule!

That's how I was measuring circles-using a piece of string, taping it to one spot of the circle and then going around the circle, then measuring the length of the string, Until husband told me about PI. Can one use the PI theory to measure a triangle or some other shape other than a square or circle?

I don't think so but then I'm no mathematician. I can only add, subract, multiply and divide. Algabra is out...well maybe just some simple stuff. ;D ;D ;D
