you saying 8inches per mile squared is wrong?
No it's right
you saying the chart is wrong?
But I'm saying something 52 miles away with show 52x8" of curvature
it seems like you dont understand the math
No you
It's not 52^2 x 8"
That's wrong
It's just 52 x 8"
....
Find out how to work out area
you dont understand the math because you dont understand how 8 inches per mile squared was calculated in the first place
52 miles does not = 52 miles squared
That's length vs area
And they are not the same
search up how to the rate of curvatue was calculated
and coem back to me
7.98 inches per mile squared.
Now what
multiply that by 52
Go ahead
8 inches per mile works just fine at shorter distances
What's the equation using that factor
52 x 52 x 8 / 12
52 x 52 x 7.98 / 12
In variable form, what is it?
What is that 12 for
To get inches to feet
Oh ok cool
So what is the equation in variable form
I dont know but it doesnt work in reality
Why 52 x 52
It doesn't mean squared like that
It means m^2 not (m)^2
Cuz that's how its done
Square the distance
We need an equation to test
1 mile
