Quick Maths question

[chris_r]

Hi,

If something is 16" wide and 10.5" in height what is the depth?

I don't have a clue what depth is.

Thank you all

 

[csmager]

eh? The depth is whatever the depth is. There's no way to work it out.

Depends what you mean by depth. It's usually thought of as negative height (like under water from the surface to the bottom). So if your calling the height of a pool 10.5" then that is the depth.

Unless you mean height as length?? Bit of random question without more explaining.

a dimension taken through an object or body of material, usually downward from an upper surface, horizontally inward from an outer surface, or from top to bottom of something regarded as one of several layers.

Anywhere between Zero and Infinite. Not enough info to work it out?

 

[Nitefly]

The depth is as long as a piece of string.

Something im doing says this;

mark out your height and width and set the depth to 12"

but i just dont understand because if i marked out the 16" x 10.5" i would have a widescreen shape, so wheres the 12" come in?

At 90 degrees to the rectangle you have made.

Imagine a book front cover. 16" x 10". The book is 1" thick.

Now stack 100 copies of the same book, the pile of books depth will be 100".

How many books do you have?

Think cuboid, not rectangle.

Is this a serious thread? Not a wind-up?

Well once you work it out you can swim up a hill.

1 - An object cannot exist in 2 spacial dimensions....

2 - An object requires at least the basic 4 dimensions (length x width x height x time) to exist without going deep into quantum chromo dynamics or super string theory.

3 - Depth can't be zero as this will puck up the space time continuum or so the doctor says.

4 - Depth cannot be infinity as time will fold back on itself (I made that one up but it sounds good anyway)

Therefore I believe the depth to be anything between

1/infinity to (infinity-(1/infinity))

QED

Yes I failed fizzics too.
