    Great idea
    Although, I'll never eat another orange without the slide rule, protractor, and gram scale rolleyes1.gifI think this works well.

    I love this one!
    It cracked me up and reminded me of geometry classes! rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks all. I think I am in some danger of over-processing here so I wanted to pulse the crowd.

    My husband and I actually had a conversation about whether the orange would have equilateral triangle parts (or not) while I was working on this. So if anyone figures it out let me know and I can adjust the angles accordingly. :D

    You lost me once you put numbers in there.....I have no idea what an equilateral triangle pieces parts is...let alone a principal participle headscratch.gif

    I'm not sure -- the slices actually look more like isoceles triangles. headscratch.gif:D

    But I don't think it really matters. ne_nau.gif You won't be getting graded on your math here. rolleyes1.gif

    Laughing.gif! I actually have to say, the numbers ARE all wrong! But with a glass of wine in me, I can't actually help you fix 'em right now. But maybe tomorrow!

    It's great whether the math adds up or not... :D

    ...math...smath....brought lots of smiles to all! Thanks clap.gif.

    (Does the same math work for a grapefruit?? headscratch.gif )

    Nicely done. It feels a little closely cropped to me, but that may just be a taste thing.

    On the math: there are 10 sections to the orange so the average angle is going to be 36 degrees (36*10 = 360), albeit some will be wider and some narrower. One section is then going to have one 36 degree angle and two 72 degree angles (36 + 72 + 72 = 180). The angle you have marked 70 degrees is likely quite close to the actual measurement. The rest are further off. That said, I don't think getting the numbers right is actually important to the photograph.

    Some of the math geeks around here have shown thier hands. rolleyes1.gif

    All the math is totally non-sensical. The equations use un-labeled angles and all the triangles have angles that contradict one another if you assumed that all the pieces are roughly equivalent.

    I can also make you a sweet deal on a box of frictionless pulleys if anyone is interested. :)

    Hi,

    This is a fun picture:D. I have no idea if your math is right or not, but as others have said I don't think it matters. One of the things that drives me nuts is choosing a typeface. I think your choice is great. clap.gif

    for the non-particle phycisist, that angle of 110 degrees does not refer to the section of orange it seems to portray

    I am not sure everyone will appreciate some of the information in this image, so will watch to see how it does...

    I like your photo Quark! Great idea for orange angles!

    I'd be remiss if I did not share my observation that up to this point in the challenge, I haven't seen photos with enhancements like the ones you used go to the top 10. For example, we can't use frames because they say our photos should stand on their own, so it makes me wonder how enhancements like this will fare. That being said, maybe it's totally fine. It's only a personal observation.

    I wish you the best in the challenge!!!

    Have fun,
    Tessa
