Look at it this way
88° is proportional to 44 length
What angle would be proportional to 62
62 is greater than 44
But 44 gives nearly 90° angle
So 62 would give greater than 90
Much greater
And 88 plus whatever that would be, would be over 180
So no triangles exist
Ok
o_O
In any problem, if you get sinC= >1
No solution
Or sin any angle
But double check your math whenever you get that
im pretty sure i used law of sine correctly in that photo right?
Didnt know where else to ask this extremely basic question.
Q) Does a rectangle HAVE to be 1x2 in dimensions? So next would be 2x4... 4x8 etc
Or does a 1x10 still count a rectangle
no, a rectangle does not have to be 1 by 2
it just has to have right angles, as its name suggests
so yes, it can be 1 by 10
If I have a helix wrapped around a cylinder, why does the helix angle change if I reduce the circumference of the cylinder but maintain the length along the x axis?
any germans here? got a task i need to solve
here is my geometry question: when labelling a quadrilateral ABCD, do you label it clockwise or counterclockwise if it's not specified
doesnt matter as long as the letters are in consecutive order
Heres how we do it
Normal people: rectangle ABCD
Genius: rectangle alpha beta gamma zeta
GOD: rectangle A_1 A_2 A_3 A_4
?
xi tbh
they still pronounce it psee
Ill just pronounce it "pssst"
What happens when x = 0?
not so sure
wouldnt it also be 0
Look at the graph. Does the function value ever become 0?
no
Not quite
sin(0) = 0, so your formula would yield 1, and not 2, like we just concluded
It doesn't have to do with what number you multiply sin with (also called amplitude), in fact, that's the part you had correct
im confused
: P
its a problem thats not gonna be on my test but she put it in my homework
we'd rather you'd have shown your work instead of just hitting us with an answer
also, i'm really suspecting this is from an ongoing test
looks like one of those online tests tbh 
V = r² π h + 1/2 · 4/3 r³ π
because Im tryna get this hw done
lmfao
i got work today
im falling behind bc my teachers don't care about me

...volume of cone minus volume of gum ball?
I suppose this counts as geometry, this popped up and I cannot for the love of me figure out how to solve it
I know the formula but I just don't know how to apply it to this problem
I got 8, from similar triangles ADC and ABE
Hello
Can someone tell me how you'ed go about truning a basic Right angle equations awnser into one of the awnsers it gives
it's 45/36
but my only awnsers are : 4/3, 5/3, 5/4, 3/5
how did you get 45/36?
that is definitely not the cosine of anything, since it's greater than 1
but in any case you should reduce the fraction
also, answer*
I Was doin fine untill the awnsers changed, Cos is top over bottom
but it appers they want me to do something more
"top over bottom"?
sin = opposite/hypotenuse
cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan = opposite/adjacent
commonly known with the mnemonic "SOH CAH TOA"
"top over bottom" says exactly nothing
cos = adjacent/hypotenuse.
what is the length of the side adjacent to angle X?
no, the side with length 36 is not adjacent to X.
the side with length 36 is opposite X.
which $\neq$ witch
Ann:
yes, 27 is the adjacent side and 45 is the hypotenuse.
yes and angle X is 45
Ahh my bad sorry man, ive been doin this for too long
The cosin is wasn't 45/36?
well if X was both adjacent & hypotenuse
then i guess they are the cosin
is this right?
adjacent = XY = 27
hypotenuse = XZ = 45
cos(X) = adjacent/hypotenuse = 27/45
yes that's what the mnemonic stands for.
Okie im seeing it, but 27/45 isn't an option
are you not able to reduce the fraction
Well i've never done that before, do you mean simplify it by dividing by 5?
Doing that I got 5/9
what do you mean you've never done that before. how are you doing trigonometry having never worked with fractions?
also, 27 is not divisible by 5.
divide by 9, not by 5.
I know it was exactly 5.4
Can you go though the process and how me how you'd do it?
It might ring ma bell
Ooof
I probably know what it is but forgot it along the way up here
but hey it's clear what i gotta do now, i have a lead
So thanks for your time
Unless i reduce the fraction and there are more steps afterwords, i yi yi
27/45 = 3/5.
,rotate 90
can anyone explain how this factors? its a trig problem https://imgur.com/nuZh3UA
do you mean how to get from the first line to the second?
$\frac{h-1000\cdot\tan{32}}{\tan{32}} = \frac{h}{\tan{32}} - \frac{1000 \cdot \tan{32}}{\tan{32}}$
Namington:
do you see what we can do from there?
ya thanks
can anyone explain this https://imgur.com/nVQ9hwD
wouldn't dividing everything by h/100 leave the left side equal to 1
h divide by h/1000 is same thing as h multiplied by 1000/h, which gives 1000 @hallow smelt
@cold plaza I dont understand how we go from line 1 to line 2
line 1 being 1000ft/H = 1/tan32 - 1/tan35
take the reciprocal of both sides
u get h/1000 = 1/(1/tan32 - 1/tan35), then multiply by 1000
why are they doing that though
to solve for h
H/1000 = tan32 - tan35 right?
no u cant flip it like that
it would be that if the RHS was 1/(tan32 - tan35)
but its 1/tan32 - 1/tan35, which is completely different
(try turning it into a single fraction to see for urself)
@cold plaza sorry im just not understanding this LOL
are you able to write it out maybe and post a picture?
if you have the time I'm not understanding
imagine the first line was h/1000 = 1/(tan32-tan35). after flipping, what do u get?
,, \frac{1000}{h} = \frac{1}{tan(32) - tan(35)}
layovah:
if that were the first line, then after taking reciprocal of both sides, u'd end up with (h/1000) = tan32 - tan35 (what ur saying)
but thats not the first line. in this case we have smthn different
wouldnt taking the reciprocal of 1/tan32 and 1/tan35 wind up the same?
,, \frac{1}{tan(32)} - \frac{1}{tan(35)}
layovah:
is not the same as
\tan
,, \frac{1}{tan(32)- tan(35)}
layovah:
what is the recip suppose to be then?
layovah:
which is what they're writing in the second line
np
so you cant just cross multiply on line 1
tan32 * 1000 and tan 35*1000
to be clear
LOL
remembers how I failed to understand the recip
clarifies
thanks alot though
np
just curious
if i have a cylinder but the height goes above the normal top (like the circle on top) and instead goes all the way up to a sort of 'arch', is there anything different i'd need to do there?
this is for finding SA and volume
i have trouble visualizing what you're saying
do you mean its bent like an arch?
do you mean it caps off with some shape other than a circle (eg a dome)?
@upper karma got a picture?
Unfortunately not. But let me try and draw one
kinda badly drawn but
the arch extends upwards
it just cuts off
@dark sparrow
Yeah
...well then there you have it don't you
you've got a cylinder with a hemisphere stuck on top
so you can only SocCahToa right angles?
yes
oh dam did not tell us that
since its not right angle you have to use law of cosines or sines
with the information given, you can find y and x with the law of sines
I dont know what you mean by that
epic
can i assume that on the other side of the dotted red line at the bottom
is another 90 degree angle
other side?
the H dotted red line
you see how one side is 90 degrees
can i assume the other is also 90
tyes
thanks
I should try and find some time to retake geometry
do you see a simple way of solving this?
I already solved it correctly, but i did SohCahToa
and it was along process..
180-35 is 145
So first angle is 3
Then with 1000 feet you can find the side of that triangle
If 1000 feet equals 3 degrees difference, then d is 11666.6667
Well I guess that’s of angle of h/d is 90
i don't have a question, but i did something neat that one of you might find cool
had a geometry quiz where it asked to find the equations of all the tangent lines of a circle
like, every y =
which is impossible, because there's infinite
and the teacher said nvm only do 4
but i thought it meant a general rule, so i did one before erasinf
wasn't actually right, but i fixed and completed it this morning
you can find the slope of the tangent line at every point on the circle
y = ((h-x1)/sqrt(r^2-(x1-h)^2))(x-x1)+k+sqrt(r^2-(x1-h)^2), then you just negate both sqrts to get the negative
yeah, that's what i did
then use where it meets the circle to find y intercept
exactly
i'm not asking a question, again
i solved it
it works
just thought it was interesting
ok
used slope and point slope form
it's good that you're having fun
i havent learned about hyperbolic functions but it tanh(x) =
When I plot the function 400sincos that shit looks crazy as fuck and not like this picture
why does theirs not look insane
@hallow smelt window settings?
also make sure you're in radians
if you're graphing in radians, on the interval [0,pi/2] with range [0,300] it should look the same
as such
this might just be my eyes being fucked up
but their pictures does't look symmetrical to me 
ah yeah, good point
fsr it also goes above y=200
i think it was hand-drawn
still looks the right general shape though
Oh shit how did you decide to use range 0 to 300?
I wasnt using desmos was using my ti-84
trial and error works, or you can reason
at pi/4, both sin and cos have the same value: 1/sqrt(2)
multiply those together and you get 1/2
is there a way to get the ti-84 to give me pie/4 as a value instead of decimals?
so you need to have, at least 1/2*400
which is 200
so i overshot that a bit to 300
again, early estimates arent always perfect; use trial and error
no, the 84 won't give exact values when you trace a graph, im afraid
but you can find the y coordinate (200) and reverse-engineer it
200 = 400sin(theta)cos(theta) =>
1/2 = sin(theta)cos(theta)
which you might notice works if theta = pi/4
although whenever you get a weird decimal in a trig problem, its probably worth a quick check to see if it's pi/2, pi/4, 1/sqrt(2), etc
ya that makes sense
the whole point of this is so I can get the dimensions of a cross section
is everything i colored a cross section?
can you cut ABE in half to make a 90 degree angle and cut 2m to 1?
I was watching a video titled: Sine & cosine identities: periodicity on Khan Academy. In the video, he draws a right angle triangle in a unit circle and then makes another one by adding pi/2 radians to the angle theta. He then says how Cos theta = Sin(theta+pi/2) . I don't understand how the purple line is equal to Sin(theta+pi/2)
Given area of rhombus and the angles how do u find the side lengths?
@supple abyss I can't read the first drawing and I don't understand what the second drawing proves.
How’s it equal to sin of theta plus Pi/2 tho? I still don’t get why it works out that way.
Right but they’re both theta not theta + Pi/2. How does that relate?
the blue angles is pi/2 -theta because it's on a straight line with pi/2+theta
making the blue angle pi-(pi/2+theta)=pi/2-theta
the yellow lines are both of length 1 as they are radii of the circle
and the red angles are both pi/2 as they are right angles
this is enough for the triangles to be congruent by Angle Angle Side
What do you mean by “the blue angles is Pi/2 - theta because it’s in a straight line with Pi/2 + theta?
Ok, so then how does that make the line sin( theta + Pi/2)?
Wouldn’t it be sin(Pi/2-theta)?
Oh, I get it
well it's actually both
well, it kinda uses how sin x is periodic
If you were to plug that number into your calculator, you'd see it ends up right about 2/3. Just looking at a graph for a sine wave, you see it's symmetrical around the theta = 90* line (if you consider just from theta = 0 to 180) and it uses that symmetry to go backwards across in a sense
so how do i easily find the 138.2 answer?
you use sin ^-1 as provided by your calculator
and then 180-that because it's symmetrical you just do that to "work backwards"
Cosine doesn't have the same symmetry
since it starts at one and goes to -1 in that same interval
so then sine and csc are the only ones who are going to have two values 0-180
or 0 to pie
Cos definitely doesn't have the same niceness
not as far as I can see at first glance other than to introduce them all
sometimes they do random stuff and i have no idea why
let me see if i can find an example from earlier today that confused the shit out of me
mb because they consider cot^-1(s/50) to be less intimidating than tan^-1(50/s)
i don't get it
ye
proportionality constant

although the k makes the 8000 redundant 
so K and 8000 are the same thing?
oh
ya so then it does matter
this is what im taking away from this whenever I see the keyword proportional there is a constant there
ye
I just went through thermodynamics in chem a shit ton of proptionalities
I dont think we signified there being constants in them
like Delta E = Delta T but no constant there
$\Delta E∝\Delta T$ or $\Delta E = k\Delta T, k \in \mathbb{R}$
CaptainLightning:
the mcdelta t thing?
ye
i hope this is not fake news
or im gonna sound dumb as shit on monday
-_-
hahaa
thank you though good to know
is it possible to have two triangles with the same side lengths but different angles?
I need halp
Help*
You'd know the answer if you knew what a rigid transformation was. Google it.
im slow with alot
Alot isn't a word.
21 savage said it was
sin^2-1=-(1-sin^2)=-(cos^2)
oh dam I knew it was going to be something obvious like that fuck
1-sin^2 = cos^2 not sin^2 - 1....
thanks
<@&286206848099549185> could I get some help with question 9
what's that pencil-drawn squiggle on top meant to be
well what have you tried so far for that one?
How can I simplify sin(270 + A)?
sin(270+A)=sin(180+A+90)=-sin(A+90)=-cos(A)
$\frac{cos(2a)+cos(2b)}{sin(a)+cos(b)} = 2cos(b) - 2sin(a)$
mohad12211:
mohad12211:
I tried this but i am stuck now
$cos^2(a)-sin^2(a)+cos^2(b)-sin^2(b)$
mohad12211:
then
ok then?
$1-sin^2(a)-sin^2(a)+cos^2(b)-1+cos^2(b)$

mohad12211:
I'm not even sure the original thing is true
,w is ((cos(2x)+cos(2y))/(sinx+cosx) equal to 2cosy-2sinx
lol

$-2sin^2(a)+2cos^2(b)$
mohad12211:
$\frac{-2(cos^2(b)-sin^2(a))}{sin(a)+cos(b)}$
mohad12211:
should be like this
Ohhhh
well it is solved now
no what u have is -2(cosb-sina)
yeah
oh u factored wrong
rip
$\cos$, not $cos$
Ann:


Hi I'm trying to solve for alpha in the equation I have just sent, I feel like I've come up with a solution but the values arent checking out, can anyone help?
000hubibibhiuhiuh
I may be misreading it but 7 is just simply divided by t
And the other two are just rearranging the equations
C= 5/9(F-32) becomes $9C/5 = F-32$
Jimbo:
And then you add the 32 to both sides and then you can write the equation as
oof, sorry I'm new to this. xD
Jimbo:
Anyone here good at verifying identities? I’m desperate
I’m in college :(
@raw wren
Or college!
Feel free to post it I was kidding. In the future just ask, don't expect people to prompt you.
Oh I’m stupid lol thank you
Okay I’m stuck on the first question. I know the answer but I’m confused on the steps. It’s verifying identities
use $\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta \equiv 1$
CaptainLightning:
When do I use that formula? I tried working on the right side first
use it on the left
Okay thank you
np
Why do you use \equiv
identity

what you solving
cant be determined i think
angle FDE
can vary depending on lengths FE
even when angle DFE is 126
think about it if point E is close to F, the angle FDE will be very small
E goes to very far, angle FDE will be bigger
same goes for angle FED i thnk
i think its like this
becuse FDE
is cute it by the half
so its need to be the other angle is will be equal to it
so i think its like this
Geometry is fascinating, I mean, at least the very basic Euclidean plane geometry course that I took. But surprisingly simple things are tedious to prove.
Not as fascinating as abstract algebra though.
Stop breaking rules 
Geometry is fun
Without geometry we'd likely have no calculus and then we'd be boned
Don't remember what an orthocenter is tho
So, this might be a dumb question, but up to this point, I have been factoring to find the correct phase shift, but when I factor this equation I get 1/2(4x-pi) not pi/4, am I factoring incorrectly?
why would you factor out 1/2?
you want the coefficient on the x to be 1
pi is a constant, it can be whatever
I see, thank you.
whats the logic of ?
24=4 times 6
$\sqrt{24}=\sqrt{4 \cdot 6}=\sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{6}=2\sqrt{6}$
lemon catto:
You need to explain it in terms of math
does anyone know how to do this?
i solved for y and got y + 4 = t then i just used x and substituted y + 4 for t in x
looks right
unless they want you to solve for y= something
and expanding it would help
yea i got it, i just had to expand it and set it equal to x = (answer)
Hi all
i am trying to study for my maths exams
and i am in need of circular geometry questions
if anyone has some good ones
please message me
Is there a formula to calculate cosine?
adjacent / hypotenuse?
Isn’t that only for a right angle triangle?
When I do cosine of angle 45 how does my calculator know the ratio/correct answer?
ah, outside the context of elementary geometry, there is more stuff
there are algorithms to approximate the values of cosine and other stuff
Ok.
t!wiki cordic
📖 | ** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC **
Ok, I’m also confused on why cos(x) has less oscillations then cos(4x)
cos(4x) oscillates four times as fast
how do i figure out c when i know a and x?
you know a and x but nothing else?
yes
write out the pythagorean theorem for every right triangle in this problem
see what you can get
i cant really do much with it as i only know these two
no i mean you've got all those other variables to play with
in the picture
do it in terms of those
i dont understand what im supposed to do with the unknown variables
trig
express them in terms of known variables, and potentially each other
this can be done trig-free
$\begin{cases} a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \ x^2 + h^2 = b^2 \ h^2 + y^2 = a^2 \ x + y = c \end{cases}$
Ann:
@celest wave does this make sense to you
no
i do not
immediately you can see that you can take the first and second equations and combine them into one: $a^2 + x^2 + h^2 = c^2$
Ann:
and since you don't care about b you might as well just forget x^2 + h^2 = b^2
$\begin{cases} a^2 + x^2 + h^2 = c^2 \ h^2 + y^2 = a^2 \ x + y = c \end{cases}$
Ann:
i cant really use any of these yet as i dont know h or y
yeah, but again, you can eliminate another variable you don't care about
in this case, h
h^2 = a^2 - y^2
$\begin{cases} 2a^2 + x^2 - y^2 = c^2 \ x + y = c \end{cases}$
Ann:
i still dont know what i am supposed to do with this as i dont know y
i mean i do care about y as y is needed to figure out c
you don't care about y in that you don't need to find the value of y
and you can eliminate it
$2a^2 + x^2 - (c-x)^2 = c^2$
Ann:
et voilà, an equation in a, x and c only
over 10000 might be just a little too much
those are decimals
but why do you need to replace a and x with specific values and give me approximate solutions when it's possible to solve for c directly?
$2a^2 + x^2 - c^2 + 2cx - x^2 = c^2$
Ann:
$c^2 - xc - a^2 = 0$
Ann:
$c = \frac{x + \sqrt{x^2 + 4a^2}}{2}$
Ann:
like that
that results in 19.562

Is anyone able to help me with this question please? We are meant to find the surface area however I can't seem to do it. The answer is 156cm however I somehow get 149cm doing: (7x3x2)+(4x3x2)+(7x4)+(1/2x7x5x2)+(1/2x4x5x2)
ok first off don't use x for multiplication
second, 5 m is not the height of any of those triangles
Is 5m the slant height?
no
The perpendicular height of the pyramid?
yes
I want slant height right? So would I do Pythagoras (5^2+3.5^2...square root ans = 6.1 ) to get the slant height?
the pyramid doesn't have a square as its base, and so does not have a single "slant height"
you need to find the height of each one of its triangular faces
Sorry my bad, but wouldn't I still do Pythagoras in order to achieve that?
i mean yes you'll end up using the pythagorean theorem
Thanks
@vital frost
yo
You first need to find what t is
@vital frost angle b is a right angle because it intercepts a semicircle
So t=8
Then plug 8 into (4t+1)
how do u know t =8
Because angle b is a right angle
So (7t+1)+(4t+1)+90=180
Then you do the algebra and get t=8
@vital frost
So then you plug 8 into (4t+1) to get 33°
And since the central angle is twice the inscribed angle, the central angle is 66°
so 7t+1 would be 57
Yes but for the measure of AB you only need 4t+1
Which is 33°
The angle measure of the arc equals the central angle, which is twice the inscribed angle @vital frost
So the angle measure is 66°
is that what the question is asking me>
Solve for the arc length AB is segment AC is a diameter of the circle measuring 8 yrds
We found the angle measure of the arc so now we can calculate arc length
So the radius is 4 yards
mhm
uh no
So you have the measure of arc AB, right?
to get this?
doesnt say
yo
ok
Notice how LMOP is a quadrilateral?
And quads have a total measure of 360°?
yes
So rays LP and LM are tangent to the circle and segments MO and OP,respectively, are perpendicular to these rays
If an two lines are perpendicular, the angle measures are 90°
So 360-165-90-90 will give you angle L
L is 15°
Yes
how about the circumscribed angle method
Okay
So the measure of a circumscribed angle is supplementary to its arc
So the arc MP=165°
180-165=15
as per markings all sides are congruent?
if y is the measure of that angle then yes its 45
and 45-45-90 ratio to find one leg
and since all sides are congruent you now have the length of all sides
Yeah u use 45-45-90
Hello
I'm new.
So, I am currently trying to learn Geometry
Please tell me topics that I might see in Geometry class, 😄

t!yt What is geometry
this is triangle
yea
what do you know about the angles in a triangle
Hint: 71=X
I'm bored
go shitpost elsewhere
it is not shitposting Btw
which geometry are we talking about
I didn't know the answer was considered a hint
i don't think i'd be lying if i said 95% of the active population of the server would consider this too trivial to be of any entertainment value whatsoever
Capitalize your "I" "smart person" and also add a punctuation mark.

just 95?
look who's talking, mr/mrs/mx doesn't-use-commas
this is math server not english grammar server lol
*This is a math server not a english grammar server, lol.
*This is a math server, not an English grammar server, lol.
C RAP
i can outgrammar you just as easily
if you wanted to flex you should've prepared to get flexed at
is math an actual word ?
maths
@dark sparrow *If you wanted to flex, you should've prepared to get flexed at.
i know how to punctuate Properly™, thank you
this isn't the kind of environment where one would normally put in the effort to do that
Well, why did you capitalize the "p"and add a TM
ok I am here for geometry I give up
if you have a geometry problem you're stuck on, post it
ok
instead of, yknow, being a prescriptivist dick
ur the dick

well stop yelling
yelling?
@upper karma thats just trig and pythagorean theorem
OH LOL
U wha
no its not
oh wait
its 71
what is going on lmao
right triangle
Its right
cotton
You literally assumed it was isosceles while doing that 
what
why
No @supple abyss
why cant u overcomplicate things
38 + 71 + x = 180; what more does one need?
You make a right triangle, and then do 180-90-71 to get the final angle, which just happens to be half of the 38 angle
idk nothing?
why is tan-1(-20) possible?
doesnt that mean the opposite over adj is a negative? how can distances be negative
trigonometric ratios can extend beyond geometric interpretation
it doesnt always have to be "opposite over adjacent"
u can extend the definiton of tan(x) using unit circle
they wanted me to calculator that out and then do 180-that for the angle
isnt 180 - (-w/e tan-1(20) a positive number over 180?
the value of tan-1(-20) is -1.5
x180/pi = -87 degrees
wouldnt 180 - (-87degrees) be over 180?
thats what im saying
ill ss the solution sec
I get that they even/odd propertied it out right
wouldnt it be 180 - (-tan)
do you know in which quadrants is tan(x) negative ?
2/4
yeah
in this case your theta is between 0 and 180
so only the 2nd quadrant sits in there
so Q 2
no man that was really good
wait
but why wasnt it Q4 again?
because starting at 0 we could go negative
and it would be slightly before the -90 degree mark
oh wait
nvm nvm
they restricted it to 0 - 180
yeah
this is not the first problem I have done with this thing where they ask for angles between 0-180
I never was picturing the unit circle
good tool thanks
can you show me where I went wrong here
thats better
im suppose to solve for solutions from [0, 2pi)
The first one is three quarter circles each with radius 7
Implying they are quarters
lmao
lol
No. Now you have to have a very large presence here
He's joking
so is anyone willing to help or
Well he told you 1
3 is a quarter of 6 and a half each of 3 and 12
And 5 is half of 6
what?
what
yes

So to find the arc length what do you need?
Wait you're confusing me Kronk
@little osprey theta?
Uh yeah, and what is theta?
the angle
What is the angle in between the sides of a quarter
90
oh
you would replace the theta with 90
