Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 11, 1991

I’m sure Nate would be taller than the motorist, with how TALL he is

Ha Ha “Hey completly random strangers! What’s the differece between Radius, Diameter, and Circumfrance?”

High school math: you’ll never use it!

is it just me, or does Nate shrink? AND WHY DOES HE CARE ABOUT HOMEWORK?

I don’t understand this comic

I don’t get this one.

Diameter is the full length across a circleRadius is half the diameterAnd as for the circumference, I was out that day.

Burn!

I don’t even know this

I’ve heard of Radius, Diameter, and Circumference before, but I don’t actually know what it means. :P.

this is depressing

The motorists would kidnap him

What does this mean?

Marty doesn’t know this at age 46.

Nate, while your out there steal a wheel to use the math on!

A radius is a length of a circle from the edge to the center, a diameter is the distance of a circle from one edge to the opposing edge, and a circumference is the length of the edge of the circle.

worst dad ever

why couldn’t his mom be in the strip

NATE! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! R.I.P. Nate Wright

To be fair, Marty hasn’t been in middle school for a long time.

Great idea, Nate! (lol)

ffffffffffffffffffff

It’s my last day of summer vacation. I don’t deserve this

Dad’s eyes

Vote dogger 2020

In regards to the dad’s reaction in the last panel, I don’t know whether to be amused or frightened

6

am i the only one who notices how nate walks? like on his heels? also why is he so TALL? and WHY DOES HE CARE AT ALL ABOUT HOMEWORK???

Nate’s planning to get run over by a car, similar to how he says “Kill me now.”

ouch Nate’s dad looks so traumatized in the last panel

Yikes

big nate then looks eerily tall…

and math claims another victim

That was kind of savage.

Nate not understanding what they mean is kinda sad, but Marty not understanding what they mean is depressing. I learned those in grade 3!

this story is busin

Big Nate In: The Radius of a Diameter!

The radius is the length from the middle to the edge, the diameter is from one side to another, and the circumference is the length of the edge.

Did he go to school?

He’s dumb

OMG why bro WHY PEIRCE IDK THIS STUUUUFFF

Circumference is the outside of a circle, basically just the circle itself. Diameter would be like drawing a line through the circle, making the circle have two halves. Radius is like drawing a line through a circle but stopping halfway, basically just half of the diameter.

We just went over this but uhhhhh I H A V E NO STINKIN IDEA!!! 9/10

omg nate might get run over lol

this is a good comic

I doubt anyone would read this because the comments are not sorted by the newest first. If I can recall, diameter is the measurement across a circle, the radius is half of a diameter and a circumference is the measurement of the whole circle

Ya, me to, I don’t understand this comic

The radius and diameter are straight lines while the circumference is a closed curve. The diameter is twice the radius. The circumference is 2π times the radius of the circle or π times the diameter of the circle.

D-. Nate, Are You CRAZY!?? Why the hell would you “Stand in the street”?!

7/10 mean humor

tbh nate’s dad is not the smartest
