Time for Some Gothtober MATH!

constricted

While shopping for giant inflatable 10 foot boa constrictors, we found this ad, and Gothtober’s High Priestess of Web, Cristin Pescosolido, pointed out that if the snake is 10 feet long and it wraps around the boy 4 times… the boy is 9.5 inches from shoulder to shoulder! As demonstrated by this handy formula:

10 feet = 4 * π * circumference
circumference = 10/(4*π)

This is a VERY tiny boy! Also, I think this product is being hyped just a wee bit too much, what do you think?

I wish math problems were this fun when I was in school.
