"As CBS2′s Amy Johnson reports, Anthony Toth has been working on a life-size model plane for about 35 years, moving it from place to place before finally having it settle into a 3000 square-foot warehouse." My, my, who says a liberal arts education requires ANY math at all. Now class, exactly how many 'life-size' 747s will fit into a 10 by 30 foot warehouse?

3000 sq ft would be 30 x 100 (or 75 x 40). I don’t think his model includes wings, engines, etc.

It’s a full-size recreation of the interior without the jet itself, which makes it a little more compact but 3,000 sf still sounds small. The 747 passenger area seems at least that large by itself.

I am a math-ignorant product of a liberal arts education, so I may be wrong, but I don't think a 10' x 30' warehouse would get you 3,000 sq. feet.

You say that 10 x 30 is 3,000 square feet??? The liberal arts major gets an A and you get an F!

Quick! Get your post removed! Hell hath no fury than a math mistake made on the internet.
