*sigh* I hate to break this pre-GCSE news to you, but the area of the
shaft of a cylinder increases *linearly* with increasing radius, not as the
square of it so the cost of the lining will not go up like that.


But as someone with experience of tunnel lining design, manufacture
and installation I can tell you with authority that the larger the
diameter of the tunnel, the thicker the lining needs to be.

So, unfortunately for ****wits like you, the cost of the lining goes
up approximately with the square of the diameter, as I said.

You are so profoundly ignorant that you don't appear to have the
slightest understanding of just how ignorant you are.

Have a(nother) dumb day. ;-)
