  • This is INCORRECT, this only works if all sides are NOT equal, if all sides are equal then this method does not work. The length of the hypotenuse of each triangle will always be longer the the two sides (A and B) from A^2 + B^2 = C^2

  • Screw this! I'll just buy the one at Boscov! 

  • so basically 7(Side)^2

  • i don,t get it

  • can you show us how to hammer a nail?

  • Wow. I understand that you're trying to make it as simple as possible for your viewers... but do you really think that nobody can figure this out on their own?

  • OH, but this is from "EXPERTVILLAGE"

    Or should it be "VILLAGE IDIOT"?

    Yeah, one of the most complex explanations I've ever seen! correct, of course, just like going around the world to get there.

  • you are making it so complex just do this,all you have to do is look at the drawing its a octagon inside a square find the area of the square(large squre surrounding the octagon) and sub tract two small squres(or four triangles ) from it takes about 10 seconds

  • Amazing. Go on!

  • really helps thanks...
