Guess you never pretended to be logical.
I said root(2(width*width)).
My professors told me that, in the parlance, root equates to square =
root. It is just a convenient form thereof.
Assuming you can comprehend the above, your underscore, via a caret, is =
the same. I only wish I had a proper symbol on this pig.
