..smile.. Actually, I did answer it. In fact, I gave two answers. And if
you'd like even more answers, I can provide them!
If you asked me this question for real, I wouldn't be able to answer right
away. Without knowing the context, I don't really know what the question
means. So I'd have to ask, What do you you want the answer for? How are
you going to use it? Once I know that, I might have some idea of what
would be an appropriate way to measure the coast so I can give you a
usable answer.
And unless you know how I measured, you don't really know what my answer
means.
(Actually, if you asked me this question for real, I'd suggest that you
find someone who could give you a more reliable answer than I can give.)
Regards,
Dale
