op isnt responding so there isnt any point anyways
its relatively doable angle chasing π
can you give a solution
oh
yeah
the xs cancelled out- nvm
also answer is 10 not 20
doesnt this kinda stuff usually indicate multiple solutions?
yeah
quick solution
@formal geyser
x=10
to the scale if anyone else wants to try
Wow nice you good at maths 
My answer is approx 444.4862 ft^3 am I right?
alternatively, you can use law of sines
Because $\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{\sin(50^\circ)}{\dfrac{\sin(20^\circ)}{\sin(10^\circ)}\dfrac{\sin(70^\circ)}{\sin(30)^\circ}+\cos(50^\circ)}\right)=10^\circ$
allan
calculator is the best option at that point
or you could use sin(3x) identity as you know sin(30 degrees)
tho solving the cubic will be tough
I see thanks
What am I missing
tan F = 4/3
how should i prepare myself as i go in to geometry
Just start
It is two tangents to circle from external point
They have same length according to theorem
"according to theorem"
can u guys help me solve this please
Is this name standard? I've never heard that before
nah itβs a joke itβs called the two tangents theorem I think
Lol I've never heard that name either
Ngl i think there is a tendency to give obvious geometric facts names when they really don't need it
what should it be called
It doesn't need a name is my point
this theorem is often just stated quickly without the name
Yea I think that's fine
just say obv and move on
each one has paid 9 dollars for a total of 27 dollars, and of those 27 dollars, and the gatekeeper took 2 of those 27 dollars so in total they paid 27 dollars and kept the extra 3 :l
like the 2 the gatekeeper took is part of the 27 dollars they paid, its not extra
im sorry me not understanding
Who can do my virtual work fir geometry geometry I'm on unit 10 trying to get to unit 12 who can do it for me?
they pay 10 dollars each, so they paid 30 dollars. the guy takes 2 of these 30 dollars, and they have still paid 30 dollars. he gives them back 3 dollars, so now the guy has 27 dollars. he also takes 2 of these 27 dollars. they still paid 27 dollars. they paid 27 dollars, and the gatekeepr has kept 2 of these 27 dollars, you don't add 2 to 27 because 2 is included in the 27.
he took 2 dollars of what they paid
Bryson, people can help you but no one can do it for you
so they paid 27 dollars, he took 2 dollars of that and gave them back 3 dollars
can we vc please the math is not mathing π
br
A, B, C, give D 30 dollars. D takes 2 of these 30 dollars, so now the cash register has 28 dollars, D has 2 dollars. he takes 3 dollars from the cash register and gives them to A,B,C.
now the cash register has 25 dollars, D has 2 dollars, and each of them have 3 dollars back (and they have paid 27 dollars).

how the hell did you get 20 I got 6.91751116597
answer is 10
this
bunch of other solutions possible but i won't go through them
i always never liked geometry
that's like olympiad entrance level
i never always liked geometry π
oh
wait actually
i'd believe it
i didn't have someone to teach me geometry
how do you know that the point E creates an equliateral triangle and two isosceles triangles?
consider yourself lucky
oh i guess it depends on what you consider "higher level maths
Orz
everyone forgets the geometry proofs
well ok thats fair
in Linear algebra you just learn them again usualyl
really?
or you take a proofs and logics class
i mean they do actual proofs so why even bother π
they actually do the geometry proofs again?
nooo
maybe ur class was wack or smthn π
calling two-column geometry student-torture "proofs" is a misrepresentation of reality
not geometry proofs
oh like full on proofs
yea
but the geometry proofs are barely proofs imo lol
they like hand you half the stuff that you just have to memorize instead of actually using your own brain to do the proofs lol
I didnt memorize them at all
that's cause high school geometry never goes beyond the inscribed angle theorem
then how did you do it π
I barely did proofs
like cyclic quadrilaterals aren't even mentioned
in geometry
????????????????
?????????????????????
yea no i never really went farther than high school geometry lol
idk how important stuff is after that
it's not important for higher maths but it's interesting
yea...
its not as practical lol
geometry can be a fun subject in its own right
for most things
even for topology or for differential geometry its useless
no yea
number theory was once considered useless and now look. geometry will have its redemption
i believe
geometry has had like 2000 years to do its shit but never shined
its like the first maths
patience is key
created an equilateral triangle on this side and connected it to the corner
i refuse to believe geoemtry is useless, its just too rich
since the corner has 30 and equilateral has 60 angle
whats good about it
like this problem is insane
i'll give letters wait a second please
thats just competive geometry
for competitions
calculus is way more useful
ABD is equilateral i constructed
aADB=60 and aACB=30 which implies DC=AB=AD=DB
well its not THAT hard but like cmon this is hardly practical π
calculus will always be more useful than geometry
it is THAT hard
try it
playing with primes for the last 1000 years was hardly practical
you can't build a rocket without geometry and trigonometry
i'm not a geometric competitor
even for a geometric competitor
you probably don't need this ^ geometry to build a rocket π
that's true
yeah you need more
prime number has a use in number theory unlike geometry which has no use in real life or pure math
but what i do doesn't take importance from geometry
you need different
rockets aren't made out of triangles
number thoery was famously considered useless until many many years later, thats what im saying
geometry will become important
i didn't mean you don't just need this geometry, i meant I don't think you would even encounter a problem similar to this lol
weird angle chasing by creating more triangles
geometry is pure math though
if i told you to build a rocket you wouldnt be able to do it because you need physics and more math like that
most pure math is also useless outside pure math
reminds me of adventitious quadrangles
but it doesnt have a use for higher maths than it
what i do and don't doesnt take anything from geometry
pretty closely related
he didn't say you only need geometry and trigonometry, he said you can't do it without it
but i'd argue you don't need this kind of geometry, you need different more practical kinds of geometry
yeah most of geometry is currently absolutely useless
you dont need competition-math geometry
but theres just way too many coincidences and too many properties to be useless
it's fun seeing weird angle problems and solutions for me
i can't call something useless if it's fun
yea exactly
i wouldn't call it useless, its just impractical
i don't get the obsession with something needing a real-world use or application to some higher math
well its practically useless
it's fun and interesting; that's enough
however topology is useful
which is barely related to this kind of geometr
math is just defined in a certain way, whether it is useful or not. its literally like you can make an imaginary world, but at the end of the day the imaginary world isn't practical. however, with applicational math, you can actually do cool things in real life like building a rocket ship and going to the moon. So for the people that want application they just prefer going to the moon instead of pretending you're theoretically going to the moon β οΈ
in my humble opinion, inventing your own world is far more interesting than going to the moon
Euclidean geometry is far richer than the moon
yep, just depends on what you want
most normal adventitious quadrilateral problem:
it's insane that the answer is an integer
i don't think i was really taught it, just picked up bits and pieces lol
and it's more insane that there's people solving those purely geometrically
exactly
is there anywhere i can get help at learning geomatry from scratch.
i just finished algebra 1 a few months ago
I am checking the help forum but it's not loading up
youtube has infinitely many geometry teachers
oh yeah. I forgot about youtube completely
pick up a book bro
i was just about to ask which one to pick up
GUYS WHAT GEO BOOK SHOULD I BUY
khan academy might prove some help
The three right triangles are similar, so their side lengths must be in the same proportions as the diameters of the inscribed circles.
how can you show that
"The three right triangles are similar"
i'm asking how to show that
is it given
how do you even know there's 3 right triangles
the one with the red circle is right-angled cause it's assumed to be a rectangle
lazy assumption I know but this is Catriona Shearer on fricking twitter, not your textbook or a contest question
it could be shared with context then
oh lol that makes so much sense now
Why though
How can i prove that the perpendicular bisectors are concurrent? Its like yes ik theres only 1 circumcentre but yea why
If AD, BE, cf are medians of TriABC
prove that 3(ABΒ²+BCΒ²+CAΒ²)=4(ADΒ²+BEΒ²+CFΒ²)
One of the interesting proofs
As well as lengthy
I suppose I'll have to assume that all the angles that look right in the diagram actually are right.
Yea its given that its a rectangle
yoplz solve my question
Id guess repeated application of appolonius
In that case the triangle that makes up half of the rectangle is similar to the entire other half, and I consider it "well known" that an altitude divides a right triangle into two smaller right triangles that are each similar to the larger one.
Bro don't forget Pythagoras
Its a theorem google it
Yea
That's why the perpendicular bisectors are concurrent: the point where two of them intersect is the center of a circke that contains all three vertices, and therefore it is also on the third bisector.
π
Wait which que were you doing
The rectangle one
Or mine
Here I was just answering your question about how to know the perpendicular bisectors in a triangle meet at a point.
But thats just assuming that there is only one such circle
The proof that three points can only lie on one circle depends on the circumcentre thing too so seems kinda circular (no pun intended)
I make no such assumption.
Yea so why cant there be multiple circumcircles
I'm not claiming there can't (even if that is actually true too).
I'm assuming it known that the perpendicular bisector of AB is exactly the locus of centers of circles that pass through A and B.
So let the intersection between the p.b. of AB and the p.b. of AC be P, and draw the unique circle with center P that passes through A.
Because P is on the p.b. of AB, there is a circle centered on P that passed through A and B. But we have just drawn the only circle that passes trough A and has center P. So that must be the one that also passes through B.
Similarly, the circle also passes through C.
Yea so how can i prove that π
We now have some circle with center P that passes through B and C -- which shows that P must be in the locus of points that are centers of such circles. But that is just the perpendicular bisector of BC.
If you have two circumcircles, each of their centers must be on the perpendicular bisector of AB, and also on the perpendicular bisector of AC. However two lines can only have one point in common (unless they coincide completely, but that only happens if B=C, in which case there's no triangle), so the centers must both be that one point. So your circumcircles both have the same center and have the same radius. That is, they're the same circle.
Yea so how can i prove there may exist such a circle
That's an axiom. Euclid, book I, postulate 3: To describe a circle with any center and radius.
π that was unsatisfying to say the least
How about like angle bisectors or the altitudes or the medians?
They meet at different points, for different reasons.
Any hint on how to prove concurrency?
Which one
For which of them?
I can help
The goalposts seem to be moving around a lot here.
All of them seperately
@faint pasture ?
All of them seperately
See
sorry ig π
If u change the figure without changing the dimensions
Something can de done
Because sides r not given
In these type of problem we generally change positions of dimension
Wait
π how do you plan on doing that this is like the most general case
angle bisector concurrency is basically the same as perpendicular bisector concurrency
How? Incircle is also an axiom?
what?
I don't think I can actually prove off the top of my head that the altitudes are concurrent ...
the incircle wasn't even mentioned
The perpendicular bisector conncurrency was proved that way thpugh
The axiom I referred to is: Once you have the point P and the point A, there exists a circle with center P that passes through A.
I then proved that circle also happens to pass through B and C.
No
The perpendicular bisector proof is:
The perpendicular bisector of AB is the line consisting of all points equidistant to A,B.
The perpendicular bisectors of AB and BC intersect in a point, O. This point has the same distance to A and C. Therefore it is on the perpendicular bisector of AC, hence the perpendicular bisectors concur at O.

I Am a ninth grader so I cant help u much hope it helps
I say angle bisector concurrency is basically the same as this because the angle bisector of ABC is the line through B consisting of all points equidistant to AB and BC. So the argument can be repeated with just a few minor tweaks.
@faint pasture
Oooooh i got it now
Had to reread i read it wrong the first time for some reason
Hmmm that makes sense
Now how about the altitudes or medians
Not exactly, because the perpendicular to the angle bisector (which bisects the supplementary angles) also have some of the points that are equidistant to the two infinite lines ...
So we need some pesky footwork, though I'm confident it can be done with enough care.
Hmmm
For medians what I think of intuitively is something like
There exists an affine transformation that makes our triangle into an equilateral triangle. Affine transformations preserve the medians, and in an equilateral triangle they have to meet in a point, by symmetry. So they must also have met in a point before the transformation.
But "affine transformation" is not really in the classical Euclidean vocabulary, so it doesn't really make a proof in that setting, without a huge detour of defining them first ...
Hmmm idek what that means so ill be back in a bit after googling
Yea no i clearly dont know enough in order to understand what means
You can do medians by showing that any two medians divide each other in the ratio 1:2 (using similar triangles). There is only one point on a line segment that divides it into ratio 1:2 so they must concur.
Also it can be coordinate bashed kinda easily i think
Oh that was smart
Coordinate bashing could be done for all the problems i just gave though i wanted a euclidean solution
Yea but it gets messy for a lot of them
Like angle bisector would be a nightmare i think
Unless you allow trig
Then it's probably not that bad
π tbfh my tchr did them by coordinate in the classes and yea it got shitty but it was a proof nonetheless
I wanted a pure euclidean based solution tho
You can also use ceva's theorem 
For like altitudes i guess the solution is rather simple too if you allow coordinate
I kinda can i just really really dont want to 
Yea its allowed
Anything except coordinate bashing is allowed
Draw lines through A,B,C parallel with the sides opposite of A,B,C and let A_1, B_1, C_1 be intersection points as in the figure. Then ABC and any one of A_1,B_1,C_1 is a parallelogram. So this gives C_1B=AC=BA_1 and similarly for the other sides of A_1B_1C_1. Hence an altitude in ABC is a perpendicular bisector in A_1B_1C_1 and since the perpendicular bisectors concur, so do the altitudes.
That was beautiful, thanks for your time!
No problem
Ah, nice!
need help guys
Split each of them into two rectangular boxes.
volume = surface area times depth
hey
is for horses
@north kindle here
so... @lone panther wanna do it?
you can begin, yea
will you also teach sim sum (not sure what do you call it) etc :d
so, trig is all about right triangles.
whenever you have a right triangle all the side lenghts are related to the angles in specific ways: these are the trig functions
let me make a drawing rlquick
why is tan(x) so weird compared to sin and cos when you graph it
you can see from the fractions above that tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)
once you see that, then notice that cos(x) has zeroes
every zero cos(x) has is an asymptote of tan(x)
now why sin(x) and cos(x) have the shapes they are is ahead of the lesson
let max-cat continue
you can remember it with SOH CAH TOA
its a simple way of memorizing what sides go in which fractions
Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse (S O H)
Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse (C A H)
Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent (T O A)
Because tangent has cosine in the denominator, which causes it to diverge to infinity.
these functions relate the angle with the ratio between to angles. So, like how with the pythagorean theorem you can find a missing side with the other two, with Trignometry you can find a missing side with an angle and one of the other sides.
you can find all the angles only given the side lenghts aswell
that seems extremely powerful
it is! But takes practice
the last thing you need to know is that the functions have relations between them selves
Sine / Cosine = Tangent (this one is just playing with fractions)
Hence why high schools spend a whole year on it
Sine^2 + Cosine^2 = 1 (this one is provable with the PT)
trig is a powerful tool in geometry and physics because we are always drawing triangles and with little info we can know all about the angles and side lenghts
all it takes is patience and a bit of practice
Here's proof for one
at first you think trig is all about right triangles
but you know you understood trig once you realize it's all about circles
oh ok thanks

how do i improve in manipulating trigonometric equations to get the desired ans
which all qs?
wdym
yeah its suppose to be like SSS theorums and postulates
right?
yeah idk either
np bro
In a Euclidean space, the sum of angles of a triangle equals a straight angle (180 degrees, Ο radians, two right angles, or a half-turn).
A triangle has three angles, one at each vertex, bounded by a pair of adjacent sides.
It was unknown for a long time whether other geometries exist, for which this sum is different. The influence of this probl...

any tips how to be an expert an math?π
every time when were doing a recitation, im scared raising my hand so thats why im not learning that well
π
π
But before becoming expert you have to go step by step
Yes it's a sad subject
can anyone tutor me
im dumb ngl
cant even do fractions
im turning grade 8
β οΈ
Watch basic videos
i forgot how to do fractions
copy that
You can ask here doubt
im always shy asking help for here
cus i look like a dumb person who doesnt get the topic
+ive been struggling in math
area = (b1+b2)/2 * height
dyk like
when u get the topic but tmrw or the other day you'll forget it
even tho u read notes
i have this like, short term memory lost
i forget things easily
u can try asking for extra work after class for practice
thx for the advice!
and im also planning this s.y ill advance read, and do some notes
that's what im doing rn TT
cs last s.y was trash
gosh same
i failed half of my test
Hey don't worry too much
parents got dissapointed, and i hate it
they taking away my phone soon if i fail this s.y again
Just start doing simple problems by watching khan academy or something similar

cant do that lmfao
i remember one time i raised my hand and decided to do the math solution, i got the solution wrong but i got the answer right so my classmates laughed at me
called me stupid for answering the solution wrong
nah making mistakes is fine
True
at least u volunteered and tried to solve it

How to find the domain of a trig function ? is there a step by step way to do it ?
i find gr9 math easy tho
Most of the time just remember it. But if you want a way to visualize then you can check unit circle
well not for him..
I'm alr in 9th grade maths..
this is 9th grade math right?
that's 6th
I learnt it in 3rd grade
yoo what
Yea it's just addition, division and multiplication
I was thinking more like these
natural domain of arcsin is [-1; 1]
So you can solve inequality: $-1 \leq \frac{x+1}{2x^2} \leq 1$
Closer
thanks
Lmao ur better than them u at least volunteered
If it were the other way around they would have done it
Philippines
bro you should study
don't be like other kids spending alot of time doing unnecessary things, well if you're that bored you can just go out but you need discipline
You can't guarantee that in the Philly
Can someone help in on the help channel
You can guarantee that if you're disciplined
im confused on this problem, im getting that the segment from the intersection point of the two diagonals of the kite to C is a negative value

Hello,
I am having a bit of trouble with this question:
Use the formulas $\sin(\theta)=\frac{O}{H}$ and $\cos(\theta)=\frac{A}{H}$ to prove that $\tan(\theta)=\frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$
Thanks in advance!
coffee maker
thanks, this wasn't what I meant but I got my answer
you can prove it using both ASA and SAS
but I don't think there's a way to prove BA = BD though
If you were given that triangle ABD is an equilateral triangle, then you would have been able to say that BA = BD, maybe that's what your teacher wants you to use
AC = CD and BC = BC and angles ABC and DCB are both right angles hence equal
ok thank you
it takes a lot of time
last year when i went through jee coordinate geometry, we took like 4 months to complete the whole unit
3-4 months
we have a sh!tty math system
I remember helping someone from PH and they were doing mean median mode in 10th grade or something.....
basic educ. system here commonly teaches those at 10th grade
yikes
is it late?
yeah you could easily learn this stuff in middle school
or even earlier
different education systems have different priorities
ours is pretty bad
Bro what
yes
π it might be just them tho
could someone tell me what parts are factored?
$\frac{-(sin^2(x)cos^2(x) + cos^4(x)) - sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}$
Ender Doesn't Mind
now you factor a cos^2(x) from the bracket part
and then factor out cos^2?
hmm
i am so cooked for my entrance exams
it was their homework and they didn't understand it
thats sad

how do i find which quadrant this lies in
add/subtract integer multiples of 2pi
will it be in 2nd quadrant?
Yes
ok thanks @silent plank @pliant kettle

In Euclid's 5th postulate, does it mean that if any pair of angles on the same side sum to less than 180, the two lines intersect?
Meaning it includes consecutive interior/exterior angles?
Not corresponding angles too.
i think its the first one
since you know it will make a 90* angle on both portions and that the bases will be equal also the bisector side will be equal
Can anyone help me with trig identities?
do you have specific problem?
Yes, if p=sin40, how do I write an expression for cos140 in terms of p?
Those are degrees btw ^
is it just me or is that kind of a vague question π€
That's what it says
Uhh
do you know the cos(a+b) identity?
For a previous question the answer was -p
just if it has p in it? π
Like the cos(90+theta) etc..?
It might be vague but that's the type of questions I'm doing
nah i was thinking like cos(a+b) = cos(a)cos(b)-sin(a)sin(b)
maybe this isn't what they want you to do
Im from Asia so our questions are a little different
Idk that but maybe I can try?
Nope
it puts it in terms of p so it satisfies what they wanted you to do but it may not be exactly what they had in mind π
Okay I'll try rq π ty
you know
they probably wanted you to do cos(140 deg) = -cos(40 deg) π
then -cos(40 deg) = -sqrt(1-sin^2(40 deg))
probably simpler ππ
Im confused why the answers -4/3
Ignore the 3 I got, I kinda jus gave up
But I thought it would be -1/3
Bcz sec= 1/cos and cos=3
But since its in quad 3, I said -1/3
But im not sure how I was wrong
A cosine is never 3.
But isn't it 3 in this case? cause tan=sin/cos?
Consider that 0.6/0.8 = 6/8= 3/4 and so forth. Just because you know one division that gives the same result as sin/cos doesn't mean it was that particular division.
And the value of a cosine is always between -1 and 1, so it cannot be 3.
Instead what you'll need is to draw a right triangle with the unknown angle theta in one corner.
You can take the legs to be 1 and sqrt(7)/3; that makes the hypotenuse sqrt(1+7/9) = sqrt(16/9) = 4/3.
the square of sqrt(7)/3 is 7/3Β³.
the blue area probably doesn't include the red semicircle
no worries
can anyone help
how did you get that lol, like what kind of software
how do u say its congurent
oh bruh you rounded early
it's $\frac{\pi (5 \cdot 20 / \pi)}{4}$
southy
after you square R and remove the square roots
can u say how its congruent
ye gimme a min
k
In parallelogram opposite sides are equal yes, so PQ=SR. then, angle PQX is equal to angle SRY since they are corresponding angles. Since PQ=SR and angles PQX and SRY are equal, triangles PXQ and SRY are congruent.
also try draw it out so u can actually see it better cus its an ass pov
PQX and SRY are just flipped around pretty much
also for it shows that QX and SY are equall cus of the three arrows on the line and same with SR and QP so if the hypotenuse and length are equal the height shoudl be aswell
did that help or nah
mb if it didnt but ye
@sand patrol
YEA TNX
can u do (ii) now?
no
oh shit mb forget the hypotenuse shit i said this aint a right angle triangle
From the first part, we know that triangles PXQ and SRY are congruent, meaning they have equal areas. Therefore, the remaining areas in the two parallelograms must also be equal. so PSXQ is equal to the area of SRQY.
this is for (ii)
for 1 if its not a right angle triangle how do we coungruent it
read this bit
the lines are equal we have two values of the triangle which is enough to determine that they r equal cus it states that PQ = RS with the one arrow and YS =XQ with the 3 arrows
with that we know they r equal
just look at the arrows
whats the condition of congurent
Congruent Triangles (Geometry): Two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are equal in length and their corresponding angles are equal in measure.
idk
rly
What I'm doing for the formulas I don't remember (have a blackboard in my room, put use to it)
I'm you@dreamy socket
Okay...
Why aren't you saying I'm fake
Because that's what you want me to say
Why do you refuse to fulfill my wishes
This is a square and the highlighted points are the midpoints of the line
Is the area of one of the triangles:
Pi (I'll eat who dont correct me
?
Yeah.
Pi (I'll eat who dont correct me
?
Yeah.
Is the area of one of these shaded shapes the same as the area of the sum of those two triangles?
No
My reasoning is that each of the triangles inside the square looks like half of the triangles of the previous exercise. So, each of these "rotated" squares would be equal to aΒ²/4
The area of one of the shaded shapes is a^2/8, because the area of the small square is a^2/2
I would immediately understand "4x-4" and "2x+2" to be lengths.
On the other hand, given that WRS is isosceles, they have to be the same length, so you can set 4x-4 = 2x+2 and solve for x.
Alright thank you bro
So even tho it asks u to find SW u still solve for x?
By small square do you mean the area sketched in red?
yes
You'll need to get a value for x; otherwise the best you can say is that |SW| = 6x-2.
alright I got 3 is that correct?
Itβs 10 right since u plug the 3 in and add the 6 and 4
I don't get 10, and I don't quite understand how you get it.
What do you get for ST and WT?
R?
also u dont really need to plug it in both
ST=TW
so 2ST=SW
Yeah I get it now
It's still useful to plug into both, as a test that we found the right x.
so if u plug the num in for both and donβt get the same answer then a mistake was made?
yes
Alright
for an isosceles triangle a perpendicular on the unequal side from the opposite point will always bisect it
Alright
Looks far, but you should plug your value for x into your expression for y too.
I got it rn, thank youuu
Yeah I got 13 so itβs good?
You got y=13 too??
like do u mean plug 13 into y+23 or plug it into y=2x-31
I mean, you're asked for the value of y, right?
So you need to compute what that is instead of just saying 2x-31 and letting the reader do the rest of the work.
Does the shaded shape has area of $\frac{3a^3}{8}$?
Pi (I'll eat who dont correct me
Point O is the midpoint of the square
a^2 not a^3
Oh, thx
So if the square has an area of 20cmΒ², the shaded area has an area of 15/2
Yes
I got (x=13 y =-5)
is that all of the given info?
the ratio of the 30 60 90 triangle sides is 1:sqrt(3):2, so here the ratio of the triangle sides is 2:2sqrt(3):4
ik it is option 3
wouldn't it be option 1?
nah
why is it option 3?
bc 2 sides are not enough
could be either
yep, and you know the angles too
bro it is 3 and i got it correct
why is it correct?
it's not a 45-45-90 triangle...
and its supposedly a special right triangle
yeah it's option 3
why?
bro i really dont care what u think the answer is
from the picture, there isn't enough information to determine which side matches to which angle
given that its a special right triangle, and that two of the sides are 2 and 4
not worth the time arguing with you
but if it were the one on the right it wouldn't be a special right triangle...
@trail tendon you've misread, she just knows that two of the sides are 4 and 2
like she's classifying special right triangles
that could mean that some of those triangles are not special
so they actually meant she's classifying triangles
I guess
i mean if she's classifying special right triangles that would imply that all her options are special right triangles...
yeah the wording is a bit confusing and vague
true bad question wording
the phrasing of the question makes it seem like the first sentence is just to give some context, and that the important bits are in the next sentences
π
like technically you can't assume the triangles are right angled even
XD
idk
89 degrees
this seems reasonable lol
3
yea
wait anyways 1 and 2 are definitely incorrect, and 4 is incorrect from the drawing
yea
so probably you were right lol sorry
wait but is the answer 3 or we dont know π
i mean 1 is possible
oh you know what
im stupid
she's literally verifying whether or not its a special right triangle
π
thats the entire point
or wait no
she's just noting which special right triangle it is
honestly i think its 1
i think she's corect
at least, to answer the question directly, whether or not that was the way it was intended
but whatever
doesnt rly matter atp XD
oh lol....
Question how do you rationalize a square root if it's been multiplied by a number (in this case 3)
Heres the problem btw, I jus have to find the 6 trig functions
Do I jus rationalize the root, or do I have to rationalize the root and the 3?
just times top and bottom by the surd
rationalising denominator just means no surd on the bottom
Okay that's what I thought
I jus never had a scenario were the root was being multiplied, so it was weird for me ππ
Thank you tho ππ
In Euclidean geometry, Brahmagupta's formula, named after the 7th century Indian mathematician, is used to find the area of any cyclic quadrilateral (one that can be inscribed in a circle) given the lengths of the sides. Its generalized version, Bretschneider's formula, can be used with non-cyclic quadrilateral.
Heron's formula can be thought as...
given all four sides?
Is 3 irrational?
Im probably not the person you wanna ask this i suck at geo 
I'm missing one rhombus, I'm tweaking

Fr
guys what are some good resources for questions?
thank you
u made this?
so, when you get the diagonal and place it over your rectangle, two identical right triangles are formed.
we know that the legs of our triangles are 16cm and 5cm
when it says "formed by short side and diagonal" it means the one where the short side and diagonal meet
so using trig ratios
16 is the opposite
and 5 is the adjacent
so, using the following
tan x = Opp / adj
tan x = 16 / 5
x = arctan 16 / 5
x should be 72.6
so the question must be wrong
is this a rhombus or trapezoid
What defines a rhombus?
Would X, R, and T be coplanar in the following image? Or do the little square things define the "only planes" that exist or that we take into consideraiton?
so just to clarify, is that two planes connected by a line?
there does exist a plane between x t and r, but I don't think that would be considered a single plane
Just a question, given a triangle and a point, where we know the side lengths and the distances between each vertex and the point how do you figure out whether the point is inside of the triangle? I can use trig and or coordinate geometry, but I'm trying to avoid those.
nvm figured it out
I can just use the law of cosines, and get an inequality that doesn't involve cosines at the end which works for what I want to do
If a points distance to a vertex is greater than either of the sides the vertex lies on then it's outside the triangle
Suffices to check 3 inequalities without further calculation
The problem is exterior points can have this property too
Wdym exterior points
Aren't you trying to identify whether a point is interior or exterior
Points outside the triangle can satisfy the inequalities
No, I mean they can have distances all smaller than the edge lengths
Yea idk what I was thinking
Anyways someone on another discord suggested that I use herons fomula to check if the areas of the triangles D is a part of, add up to the area of ABC
yes this is a good way to do it
slightly computational but still the best I think
The pre-university channels such as this one are generally fair for asking for help in too.
But indeed nobody can help unless you actually ask a question first.
anyone who wnats tutoring can dm me

interactive doubt solving
you have 3 equations:
x + 6 = 3x - 8: DF is the perpendicular bisector cause triangles ADE and BDE are congruent
(r + DE)(r - DE) = (x + 6)(3x - 8): that's the intersecting chords theorem
DE^2 + (x + 6)^2 = r^2
Can anyone help me with this question
Please provide any hints
Tried it for a really long time
Yes
ur objective here is nmc
I did
my idea is to take 360 and minus the otehr 3 angles in the quadilateral BMN(and the intersection)
#competition-math hmmm
lets call the intersecotion of MC and AN = {E}
i want fo find the other 2
uve already had MBN = 20
this is a hint
sure u can do it
try to find every angle possible π
Everything leads to unsolvable equations
..
NME = 360 - 20 - BNE - BME right
u only need BNE and BMN
oh wait
i misred it
my bad= ))
busy rn ill ping u when i got it..

classical problem

How do I know that $x + h = R$?
CoronaVirus
because x + h = radius ?
Because it is a line that goes from the center to a point on the circumference?
Diagram not accurate*
what even is solving a triangle
i think it is finding the missing measurements
bad wording imho, however for the angle, try to remember what the cosine rule looks like
ik what they are
then?
i got -7^2+7.4^2+7.2^2/2(7.4)(7.2)=cosB is that right
yep
so it is option 2
not quite right
to remove the negative in the denominator you could just multiply by -1
and you get the correct denominator
but numerators a problem
so it could be option 3?
yea
but arent they both correct
they technically should be if this was a more basic quiz, but 3 is more correct
alr do u know the second one?
for that 2,4 both seem equally correct
you cant use the sine rule because
for that you need two angles
which one do u think would be a better answer?
id say 2 but both seem correct
i think it is 4 becuase option 2 says use cosine always when side opposite the the angle is missing but it doesnt say anything about having one or two angles
again the two options are exactly the same
except the orientations
which the context makes it clear anyways
SAS is two sides and included angle
and you find the side opposite to the included angle
and the 2nd option also describes exactly the same
alr thank you
Hello
The area of each small square is 4 cm^2
What is the area of big red square?
Interesting problem! At first it looks like there's too little information, because for each radius of the semicircle we can draw an arrangement like that.
The only hope is if it turns out the side length of the red square is actually independent of the radius.
If that is the case one situation where it it fairly simple to compute the red area would be if the radius is sqrt2 cm. In that case the yellow side of 2cm that is a chord in the semicircle spans just 90Β°, and the height of the red square becomes 2sqrt2 cm, so the red area is 8 cmΒ².
Indeed on the figure it looks more or less like the diagonal of a yellow square is the same as the side of the red square. The only trouble is proving that it is so.
But now that we have a guess at the solution, we might try to prove that that guess is right, rather than derive it from scratch. So suppose we have AB of length sqrt(2) and we let line BCD of length 1+1 rotate around B. Can we then somehow prove that the circumcenter of ABC must lie on AE?
Are you sure there is no typo?
Cuz 45,45,90 satisfies the original condition but not what we have to prove
I am not sure
And if the original condition's meant to be a+b+c=90, then a=b=c=30 doesnt satisfy the relation we have to prove so idk
It could be 30,60,90
Well we need the question to be correct in order to solve it
There are many possibilities
It has to work for all possibilities though
If it doesnt work for any then the relation aint true
We arent finding solutions
We are proving it so yea
Question A
Oh nvm i misread
No i didnt π
Yea theres a typo somewhere
Ig its meant to be A+C=B=90 instead
Could be a typing mistake
Yea
For this its doable
Cuz C = 90-A
Soo sin^2(c) = cos^2(a)
But sin^2(a) +cos^2(a) =1
And sin^2(b) = 1
So subtracting these we get the relation we have to prove
I think there is exist a simpler way to proof this, for example in this picture we just have power of point B of omega circle. Due to AB perpendicular to AE it means that AB is tangent to omega circle by definition. Then AB^2=BC*BD.
unfortunate consequence of growing up in the Indian education system
like some people don't socialise for 2 years straight to crack NEET
and their families withdraw from social events too

Your take is almost as intelligent as the average crow
BA^2=BCxBD=2x4=8 so the area of the red square is 8
the problem is tricky but easy
