Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

MODERATORS
I get what you mean, but something about the word close bothers me when they were missing 88.8% of the area.
One hundred square feet is ten feet by ten feet on a side. Now, change each side to ten yards by ten yards. That means each side is thirty feet long. Thirty feet times thirty feet is nine hundred square feet.
3x3. They counted 1x1. 1/9. 8/9 is .8888
Easy math on divde by 9 1/9. .1111111 2/9 .222222 3/9 .333333 All the way to 9/9 where .9999 equals 1
The area is squared, so 1^2-(1/3)^2 which is .888 or about 88.8%
