2.07 ft seems better. You can easily check against major error by
carefully drawing a diagram, scale 1 cm to 1 ft, on a piece of paper.

Surely you have a drawing prog on your computer to do this more easily?

Something like a free 2D CAD prog would make it easy to check the
dimensions too.

Nope. You're still a retard. There is no ambiguity, just 'tards like
you who don't understand the rules and keep reposting these dumb****

if you put that as written into a calculator you are just as likely to get
an answer of 1 as you are of 9

It's obvious! :-)

It's 6, divided by the result of the call of a function named '2', which
takes an argument of '1+2'.

This is correct. I think :-)

Pythagoras would have not completely agreed with all that you wrote.

Because his name is not Pythagorus. In Greek, it ended alpha sigma.
