The problem is to cut a 14” circle into three pieces of equal area, using just two parallel straight cuts, using an equation involving a definite integral.  I have no clue as to what to do next...  hell... I could just be out right wrong, and I'd be willing to bet that I am (and NO, I won't take anyone up on that offer <_< ) :sheep: |

I CAN DO INTEGRALS!!!
Now, lemme see if I can solve the problem, too. LOL
EDIT: What on earth is the "Identity Principle?" If you give me enough time, I can take it to my Calc teacher at school! :hehe:

just incase you couldn't sleep from your lack of help or because you just wanted to know for the hell of it. :ph34r: It turns out that all I needed to do was to put it in a calc or a comp... <_<   The answer is plus and minus 1.85 inch from the center of the circle (or pizza as it was said in the actual problem) |

Meaning if it was drawn correctly the three sections would have the same area.
