Real life geometry

As a kid, I thought I’d never use geometry. As an adult, I find myself needing geometry at least once a week. Try designing a quilt block without geometry! Try finding a recipe for an 11×17″ sheet pan of cornbread and figuring out what size cast iron skillet you’d need! Try figuring out how much paint you’ll need for a room with a sloped ceiling!
Let’s not even get into algebra. Suffice it to say that you need this stuff.

All I have to say about that is:
negative b, plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac, all that over 2a.

I slept through Geometry. My favorite math subject.
(Yes, I got an A)
