What systems of measurements do Canadians use?
Officially we are using the metric system. This means that schools and government institutions use metric measurements. Practically we use both. The older generations generally use more imperial measurements; it makes sense to them because that's what they grew up using. The younger generation tends to use a mix of both. Height - Feet and inches. Nobody gives their height in metric.Body weight- Pounds. I've never heard anyone in Canada tell me that their weight in kilograms. Most people would just try to mentally convert it back to pounds anyways. Weight of very heavy objects - TonsVolume - Litres and millilitres.Short distances - Almost always inches. Centimetres are too small. It's much easier to say something is 10 inches long than 24.5 centimetres. But for anything smaller than an inch, we tend to use centimetres and millimetres. Confusing, I know.Medium distances- Feet, but meters are used as well.Long distances - KilometersSpeed - Km/h. Some people use Mph, but again, people will hear 60mph and mentally convert it to 100 Km/h, so you may as well get used to using the metric system for speed. Temperature - It's a good policy to use celsius. The imperial and metric temperature scales become very similar as you go into the negative temperatures, which poses a problem. It becomes very confusing when people don't use metric for temperature. There is no golden rule. You just have to learn by experience which system applies in certain circumstances. It's obviously confusing to foreigners, but it makes sense to us.
How is a circle above ground pool measured?
a circle pool is measured across the middle say for instance the pool measures across its diameter to be 24 ft ....then you have yourself a 24 foot pool as for the above ground part if it stands 48 inches from base to rim it is four fout but a four foot pool in only 42 inches filled with water so if i read this right you want to install a pool within the interior dimensions of an existing deck to do that place a string from one corner of the deck to the farthest corner now do the same to the opposite two corners you will have an " X " formed by the strings mark your center now take a string that is half the length of the pool you want hold one end of the string on the center walk the other end of the string pulled tightly around the circle as long as the string doesnt go off the side at any point your pool will fit
If you have a piece of paper measuring 8 1/2 by 11 inches, how can you measure exactly 6 inches by using the sheet of paper?
Let's say that we use some sort of book to actually do the measuring, and our goal is to mark, with a pencil, six inches from the end of the book.Fold the piece of paper such that each side of the fold measures 8 1/2 by 5 1/2. Take the long side of this fold (the side that is 8 1/2 inches in length), and mark this length from the end of your book with the pencil. Then, hold up the short side of the fold (the side that is 5 1/2 inches in length), and subtract this from your pencil mark, erasing the old mark. Now, your (new) pencil mark will be 3 inches from the end of the book. Repeat this method one more time, using the 3 inch mark as your starting point. Now you have a pencil mark at the 6 inch mark, and you're done.
How is turning radius measured?
"Curb-to-curb turning radius is the smallest radius the vehicle can turn without having the front wheels go over the curbs on either side of a street. Remember that it's the radius, not the diameter. Thus, a vehicle with a 25-foot curb-to-curb turning radius can turn around in a 50-foot-wide street without the front wheels going over the curbs. Wall-to-wall turning radius is the smallest radius the vehicle can turn without the forward corners of the cab or the ends of the front bumper touching the walls on either side of an alley. The wall-to-wall turning radius is always greater than the curb-to-curb turning radius. Of the two, the curb-to-curb turning radius is the most commonly used in sales literature because vehicles usually have to maneuver in open streets more often than in confined alleys. It's also the smaller, and therefore more impressive, figure to present to prospective buyers."
What is the circumference of my pool that 21 feet across?
It depends. What is the shape of the pool? To A5S - U - Me that it is perfectly circular would be to make an A5S of you and me.
The diameter of a wheel of a bicycle is 49 cm. How far will it travel in 50 revolutions?
diameter = 49cm;radius = diameter/2 = 24.5cm;circumference = 2πr ≈ 153.94 = 154cm1 revolution = 154cm50 revolution = 7700cm = 77mI hope I am correct.
How big is an area 18.5 square feet in ft by ft?
Well think of it this way. 5 ft by 5 ft is 25 square feet. The dimensions are just multiplied. 18.5 would be something like 4.25 by 4.25 or 3 by 6. Those aren't exact, but it could be anything that equals 18.5 when multipled. The square root of 18.5 is 4.3.
