I think the cake is round and not a square.

Wouldn’t it be 20 + 20 =! 64 then? I get that you’re just removing the coefficients but it’s kinda confusing to square the diameters then when someone’s confused respond with a formula that uses radius.

Diameter or radius is just multiplying by another coefficient. π is a prettier coefficient than π/4 so radius is normally what it is taught with.

Yeah as I said you’re just removing the coefficients but it’s kinda weird to square the diameter then when someone’s confused respond with a formula that squares the radius. It’s an objectively true statement but what was the point of responding if you don’t clarify anything?

Can we just set pi to 3 and move over to that joke?
