Hi

I was doing some math using Cortana, it was going well until I asked her what the surface area of a rectangle 14 by 17 inches was.

She said "Opening the Geometry Calculator for you?

It will let you do a surface area calculation for pretty much any shape.

The problem is that it lets me enter the dimensions but once I do that, there is no "Go" button to make it do the calculation? I tried hitting Enter but that doesn't do it.

Take a look at it, see if you can tell me what I'm missing?

Just say to her, "Hey Cortana what's the area of a rectangle 14 by 17" or whatever dimensions you want to use.

Mike

Hi

It was right in front of me and I didn't see it.
I guess I just expected a button or something.

I think it's about time to get new glasses too. LOL
