OR, MORE PERTINENTLY: which is taller, the height of this beer glass or the circumference at the top?
Here’s a beer glass. It’s pretty tall, and not very wide. So which is the greater dimension?
The answer is surprising. This glass has a height of 150mm, and a diameter of 90mm. So that means the circumference of the top is 90 x 3.141, which is 283mm. Which is nearly twice the height of the glass.
