Ewen Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 What is the largest volume in m3 that can theoretically be completely enclosed by a piece of A0 paper ? The paper can be folded, or cut then reassembled in any way you want, as long as it remains its original thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Can it be sliced edge-ways on? ie creating 2 very thin pieces of A0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I sense google got the answer FWIW Area of a Sphere = 4 x Pi x (rad squared) 1 = 4 x 3.1415 x (rad squared) rad = root(1 / 12.566) rad = 0.2821 Volume of a Sphere = 4 / 3 x Pi x (rad cubed) Vol = 1.3333 x 3.1415 x (0.2821 cubed) Vol = 4.1886 x 0.0224 Vol = 0.094m cubed Can't do any of the proper symbols as I don't know the Alt combo's.
