What is the difference between an oval and oblong table cloth?
The basic difference between oblong and oval is the shape at the short end. i.e. An oval is rounded at the short end and straight in the middle. To draw them it can be represented as [] =oblong (rectangular) & 0 =oval A true oval tapers to the ends, while an oblong shape has parallel sides (an oblong is an extended square or circle). So if your intent is to put a tablecloth on a round table after adding leaves, an oblong tablecloth would be best. An oval tablecloth of the right length might not be wide enough at some points, and the problem gets worse as you add more leaves. That said, the tablecloth sellers I looked at online all make their "oblong" tablecloths as rectangles, not elongated circles. If you want an elongated circle, to provide even overhangs on a circle with leaves, use a custom tablecloth site. Here is a table linens size chart that may be of some help. http://www.TableclothsForLess.com/tablecloth-sizes.html
The team ran between the oval or onto the oval?
First of all, you can't say "between the oval" - an oval is one shape and only one. For "between" you would have to have TWO things to be or go between. Second, the correct answer depends on what "the oval" is. Is it a specific place or a shape. I would say "into the oval" if it is a shape. If objects were placed so that they formed an oval shape, a team of people could collect within that oval space. They could go "into the oval." But "onto" would require there be a platform or something to step ON. An oval is a shape, an arrangement, not usually something you can step "onto." Keep in mind: With prepositions - like: on, in, beside, with, within, onto, through - think of a table or a door. Try in your head forming combinations like "on the table," "in the table," "through the door," or "beside the table." Those words are prepositions if you can use them like that. And the "door" or "table" or whatever noun you can use, well, that's the "object". (Have you heard the phrase "The object of the preposition"? They go together; a preposition has to have an object. Together they form a prepositional phrase: "beside the table" = "beside" the what? - the "table".
What is the different between a rectangle and a oblong?
An oblong is a rectangle BUT a rectangle isn't necessarily an oblong. There are 2 types of rectangle: 1) Square (equal sided) 2) Oblong (unequal sided) Most refer to an oblong as a rectangle and use the word 'square' to be more specific as it has different properties.
What is the dimension of thirty acres that are in a oval?
"Oval" can be a variety of shapes. I suggest you use the equation for the area of an ellipse. Assume some convenient ratio of length-to-width.
