    It's AumSum Time

    Why are manhole covers round?

  • 00:17

    Because they copied my shape.

  • 00:19

    No

  • 00:23

    Manhole covers are quite heavy.

  • 00:27

    So, round-shaped covers can be rolled easily from place to place.

  • 00:32

    Also, round covers can simply slide and fit into the hole.

  • 00:37

    But, to fit square or triangular manhole covers properly.

  • 00:40

    They must be precisely aligned with the edges and angles of the manhole.

  • 00:48

    Now, the manhole has a small lip around the rim of the hole.

  • 00:52

    This lip makes the opening smaller than its cover and prevents the cover from falling into the hole.

  • 00:59

    But, a square or rectangular cover can still fall into the hole, if inserted diagonally.

  • 01:07

    Why?

  • 01:09

    Because their sides are always smaller than their diagonals.

  • 01:15

    A round cover won't fall into the hole.

  • 01:17

    Because no matter how you place it, the cover is always wider than the opening.
