alternatively, you can use law of sines

#

Because $\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{\sin(50^\circ)}{\dfrac{\sin(20^\circ)}{\sin(10^\circ)}\dfrac{\sin(70^\circ)}{\sin(30)^\circ}+\cos(50^\circ)}\right)=10^\circ$

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

plucky abyss
#

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

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).

trail tendon
# sturdy stone i don't get the obsession with something needing a real-world use or application...

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 ☠️

What??

What's 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.

Wait which que were you doing

grave pond
#

Here I was just answering your question about how to know the perpendicular bisectors in a triangle meet at a point.

faint pasture
grave pond
#

I make no such assumption.

faint pasture
#

Yea so why cant there be multiple circumcircles

grave pond
#

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.

faint pasture
grave pond
#

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.

grave pond
# faint pasture Yea so how can i prove that 😭

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.

I don't think I can actually prove off the top of my head that the altitudes are concurrent ...

sturdy stone
#

the incircle wasn't even mentioned

faint pasture
grave pond
#

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.

sturdy stone
# faint pasture The perpendicular bisector conncurrency was proved that way thpugh

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.

#

Bro I can't even understand this question

#

0_.

faint pasture
#

Now how about the altitudes or medians

grave pond
#

So we need some pesky footwork, though I'm confident it can be done with enough care.

faint pasture
#

Hmmm

grave pond
#

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 ...

faint pasture
#

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

sturdy stone
#

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

faint pasture
sturdy stone
#

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

faint pasture
#

πŸ’€ 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

sturdy stone
faint pasture
#

For like altitudes i guess the solution is rather simple too if you allow coordinate

faint pasture
faint pasture
#

Anything except coordinate bashing is allowed

sturdy stone
#

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.

@north kindle here

blissful timber
#

so... @lone panther wanna do it?

lone panther
#

you can begin, yea

blissful timber
#

okkk

#

trignometry 101

zenith minnow
#

will you also teach sim sum (not sure what do you call it) etc :d

blissful timber
#

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

lone panther
#

is this it

north kindle
#

why is tan(x) so weird compared to sin and cos when you graph it

lone panther
#

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

blissful timber
#

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)

wintry wigeon
blissful timber
#

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

north kindle
#

that seems extremely powerful

blissful timber
#

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)

wintry wigeon
blissful timber
#

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

gritty topaz
#

at first you think trig is all about right triangles

#

but you know you understood trig once you realize it's all about circles

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

Okay I'll try rq 😭 ty

you know

they probably wanted you to do cos(140 deg) = -cos(40 deg) 😭

then -cos(40 deg) = -sqrt(1-sin^2(40 deg))

probably simpler πŸ’€πŸ’€

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

grave pond
#

A cosine is never 3.

twin spindle
#

But isn't it 3 in this case? cause tan=sin/cos?

grave pond
#

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.

twin spindle
#

I see I see, thank you

#

Wait for hyptenuse why 7/9?

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

can u do (ii) now?

sand patrol

no

somber yacht
#

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)

sand patrol
somber yacht
#

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

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

sturdy stone

#

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.

@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 mean if she's classifying special right triangles that would imply that all her options are special right triangles...

#

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

they technically should be if this was a more basic quiz, but 3 is more correct

you cant use the sine rule because

for that you need two angles

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

SAS is two sides and included angle

grave pond
# formal geyser 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?

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
