CONFESSION
Feb. 26th, 2011 09:59 pmYou remember that exercise in Math class where you had to find the area of a compound shape by finding the area of the various shapes it was made of and adding them together?
At some point, I started to figure out the total height and width, and then working out the area of the space in that box not occupied by the shape, and subtracting the latter from the former. And I'd show my work too. As far as I know, I never lost points for it. I'm not sure if the teachers found it correct, or they just glanced at the working-out to see it was there.
It was my way of being rebellious.
Unlike most art majors, I'm pretty good at math.
