Hello Clive,

28/22 does not give the same angle of slope as 4/pi (4/3.1415926).
This is true whether one uses a calculator or pen, paper and tables to complete the calculations.
Or are you taking the value of pi at its approximation 3 1/7?

I didn't.
I fail to see how you can sensibly get from the ceiling of a gallery in one pyramid to the height of the superstructure in another.

Menkaure's architect to Menkaure: How high do you want your pyramid?
Menkaure to his architect: Hmm, let me see now... um, how long is the ceiling of the Gallery in my dad's/uncle's pyramid...?

Doesn't really work, does it.


> BTW...what is 20.63 inches in fraction form.

In our arithmetic: 20 63/100 inches
In AE form it would be something like 20 1/2 + 1/9 + 1/113 + 1/25425

And the reason for your question is... ?
