Is this the right way? calculating a cord?

[iceman]

If a split is 18 inches it would equal 1.5? So 1.5*4.5*10=67.5?
It's say half a cord but doesn't look like it.... Eyes must be going bad

 

[SolarAndWood]

yep, little better than half a cord.

Ding ding ding ! We have a winner.

Yup. Assuming that your 10 means 10 feet. It is actually .527% of a cord.

 

[Cascade Failure]

Are we talking cords, face cords, chords or dictionary cords?

Actually, you and Sav both have your math right.

 

[smokinj]

Ok, Iceman how many cords of that mean Black Locust you got? :cheese:

In intro-level chemistry and physics, you'd learn that the above is meaningless- no units specified, just numbers. So, it's true, but meaningless.

OTOH, 1.5 feet x 4.5 feet x 10 feet = 67.5 cu. ft. which can be compared to 128 cu. ft.

Similarly, 18 inches = 1.5 feet, as opposed to the original wtf.

Smart Ass !

 

[billb3]

cord was specified.
for which there is both a definition and a formulae.

units could be minimally inferred

I have been using the formula for years but stacking tight 5*10*12 area does always work to almost 5 cords ... I found to be more accurate needed to measure by rows not by space. Looking at my row it it just didn't look like half a cord but the numbers don't lie...

However I think my locust drop is more than 2 cords gonna say 2.5-3!

Quite the contrary. But unless there's some effort for truth and rigor, it all degenerates into a mush of truthiness.

Just the facts, please, ma'am. (Joe Friday)

Dennis, you need to either drop that % sign or move your decimal point two places to the right. Rick

In intro-level number theory we learned that none of those numbers are either irrational, transcendental, imaginary, or prime numbers, so for us the numbers themselves would be meaningless.... OK, maybe just very uninteresting. %-P

:lol: Danged if I didn't get caught again. Some day I may learn to proof read before posting.... Thanks Rick.
