The round manhole cannot fall into the hole no matter which way you turn it.

-- You have to ask somebody for the radius of the sphere, in meters. If they tell you the diameter instead, then the radius is 1/2 of the diameter, in meters. -- Multiply (4) times (pi) times (the radius)2 . That's the surface area of the sphere, in square meters. -- Round the answer to the nearest square meter.
bh=a or s2=a multiply two sides square one side round ex one side=3.128 3.128X3.128=9.784384 3.1282= 9.784384 round that to 9.8

Flatten it out then measure it with a ruler! ;)
Round manhole covers are generally used over square manholes because they cannot fall through the manhole openings. There is a chance that if square manhole covers are used they can be turned at an angle and fall through the manhole opening. Round manhole covers can be moved more easily as well.
"Manhole covers" are simply spelled "manhole covers". The reason most of them are perfectly round is that a round cover cannot slip down into a hole that is even just slightly smaller than the cover (as can oblongs or squares).
The reason that manhole covers are round, and not square, is because a square cover could, when placed at the right angle, fall through the square hole in the ground. A circle, however, is the same diameter no matter where you measure it, and it cannot fir through a hole the same size and shape, no matter how hard anyone tried.
A round manhole cover will not fall through the hole, A square one will.
1) That way, they can easily be moved, by rolling them. 2) They can't accidentally fall into the manhole.
Manhole covers are round because that is the only shape that will not fall in on itself. Having a round cover with a lip, there is no way the cover can fall or be forced into the hole it covers.
A square one would fall through itself but with a round one this is impossible
Microsoft and Burger King came to the conclusion that the covers are round after a year long study. At the end of this study they concluded that, logically, man hole covers must be round, otherwise the fat people that use their products would fall in, and thus would cause their profits to drop considerabliy.
Man hole covers are round so that the cover cant fall into the hole no matter what angle it is oriented at as the diameter is equal around the entirety of the circle. This would also work for an equilateral triangle but it would make it less comfortable when climbing in.
A circular cover is the only shape that can fit the hole no matter which way you drop it, but can't possibly fall through the hole no matter which way you drop it.
because for any person to get inside a manhole, you would think it was shaped like a round circle.
A round wheel will roll; a square won't, or not without a great deal of effort. It's easier to move a round object than a square one.
