    (3.1415927whatever X 25 squared)-(pi X (25-1.8)squared) : (pi X 19 squared) - (pi X 15 squared)

    That is the ratio of large thin to smaller thick tube.

    well i suck at math...but my girlfriend's pretty good and she says 6.75 inches..
    she says shes 94% sure thats right.. i have no clue though.. i'd just just get a scale and weigh some lengths of tube till they match up..

    I am having a hard time with this virtual calculator. I found pi, but only have one memory function.
