    It's hard to believe that in 50 years, this is the first time I've seen this concept illustrated this way. Too bad they didn't teach it this way when I was in school. I loved math, but for some of my classmates who found it harder to memorize equations or grasp the logic behind them, I think this kind of practical visual teaching would have been very helpful.

    So instead of Area = Pi R squared, shouldn't it be Area = Pie are rectangled?

    Veritasium had this last year, but he was talking about Pi [instead of area] with pizza.

    One time, I was ordering a 20-inch pizza for my family when the pizzeria informed me that they were having a sale on two 16-inch pizza for less money. I went with the deal on a hunch. Soon after, I found out that really was a good deal as two 16-inch pizzas was more food than a single 20-inch.
