There is no triangle

#

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

oblique bough
#

o_O

#

so i have 3 problems

dull ice
#

Ok

oblique bough
#

and they all say sinC is greater than 1

#

so that means there is no triangle

dull ice
#

All of them are no triangle

#

Yes

oblique bough
#

o_O

dull ice
#

In any problem, if you get sinC= >1

#

No solution

#

Or sin any angle

#

But double check your math whenever you get that

oblique bough
#

im pretty sure i used law of sine correctly in that photo right?

dull ice
#

Yes you did

#

a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC

#

Or

#

SinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c

oblique bough
#

alright

#

thanks so much lmao i was stuck for a while

dull ice
#

Lol

#

Np

granite atlas
#

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

dark sparrow
#

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

Cheers

#

Google wouldnt answer my question haha

frozen kraken
#

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

astral hornet
#

doesnt matter as long as the letters are in consecutive order

inner lantern
#

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

dark sparrow
#

alpha beta gamma delta, you mean.

#

learn your greek alphabet smh 😤

inner lantern
#

Delta is for triangle my man

#

Or lowercase delta, thats fine

#

😉

dark sparrow
#

the next letter down is epsilon

inner lantern
#

Thats how to call !!!

#

Is also hard to write, rite?

dark sparrow
#

?

inner lantern
#

no, i will stick with zeta !

#

whats ur favourite greek character

dark sparrow
#

xi tbh

inner lantern
#

Psi for me

#

I dont even know how to pronounce that

#

Ps-ai?

spark stag
#

sie

#

technically og greek pronounced it psee

#

but who cares

dark sparrow
#

they still pronounce it psee

inner lantern
#

Ill just pronounce it "pssst"

snow socket
#

any help ?

twin prawn
#

What happens when x = 0?

snow socket
#

not so sure

dark sparrow
#

when x = 0, what is y?

#

based on the graph

snow socket
#

wouldnt it also be 0

twin prawn
#

Look at the graph. Does the function value ever become 0?

snow socket
#

no

twin prawn
#

Exactly

#

So what's the value at x = 0?

snow socket
#

2

#

then

twin prawn
#

Correct

#

And what happens if you plug in x = 0 in your formula?

snow socket
#

2sin

#

right

twin prawn
#

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

snow socket
#

im confused

#

: P

#

its a problem thats not gonna be on my test but she put it in my homework

upper karma
#

I need help asap

#

is this correct

#

anyone??

dark sparrow
#

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

halcyon coyote
#

looks like one of those online tests tbh thonkzoom

upper karma
#

V = r² π h + 1/2 · 4/3 r³ π

halcyon coyote
#

also why do you need help asap?

upper karma
#

because Im tryna get this hw done

#

lmfao

#

i got work today

#

im falling behind bc my teachers don't care about me

halcyon coyote
#

i mean

#

the formula is correct

halcyon coyote
#

oh

dark sparrow
#

i mean you dun goofed somewhere in the arithmetic ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

your formula is ok

upper karma
#

how do i solve this

#

i forget the formula

#

:/

dark sparrow
#

...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’m getting 110/9, idk if it’s right

I got 8, from similar triangles ADC and ABE

narrow jewel
#

Hello

#

it's 45/36

#

but my only awnsers are : 4/3, 5/3, 5/4, 3/5

dark sparrow
#

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*

narrow jewel
#

I Was doin fine untill the awnsers changed, Cos is top over bottom

#

but it appers they want me to do something more

dark sparrow
#

"top over bottom"?

narrow jewel
#

simplify i guess

#

my teacher didn't explane this to me

dark sparrow
#

sin = opposite/hypotenuse
cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan = opposite/adjacent

#

commonly known with the mnemonic "SOH CAH TOA"

narrow jewel
#

i know im trying to remamber it

#

top over bottom is the newb way

dark sparrow
#

"top over bottom" says exactly nothing

#

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse.

#

what is the length of the side adjacent to angle X?

narrow jewel
#

36

#

i mean

#

hyp

#

hypotenuse

dark sparrow
#

no, the side with length 36 is not adjacent to X.

#

the side with length 36 is opposite X.

narrow jewel
#

adjacent whoops

#

next too

dark sparrow
#

read what i'm asking you.

#

generally, read what people say. it's a useful skill.

narrow jewel
#

X is next 27 witch is adjacent / hypotenuse

#

correct?

#

Witch are 27 & 45

dark sparrow
#

which $\neq$ witch

somber coyoteBOT
dark sparrow
#

yes, 27 is the adjacent side and 45 is the hypotenuse.

narrow jewel
#

yes and angle X is 45

dark sparrow
#

no

#

you don't care what angle X is. all you're finding is its cosine

narrow jewel
#

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

dark sparrow
#

no

#

X is an angle. it is not a side.

narrow jewel
dark sparrow
#

adjacent = XY = 27
hypotenuse = XZ = 45
cos(X) = adjacent/hypotenuse = 27/45

#

yes that's what the mnemonic stands for.

narrow jewel
#

Okie im seeing it, but 27/45 isn't an option

dark sparrow
#

are you not able to reduce the fraction

narrow jewel
#

Well i've never done that before, do you mean simplify it by dividing by 5?

#

Doing that I got 5/9

dark sparrow
#

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.

narrow jewel
#

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

dark sparrow
#

27/45 = 3/5.

upper karma
#

Can anyone help me on anyone of these?

hallow smelt

#

do you mean how to get from the first line to the second?

#

$\frac{h-1000\cdot\tan{32}}{\tan{32}} = \frac{h}{\tan{32}} - \frac{1000 \cdot \tan{32}}{\tan{32}}$

somber coyoteBOT
spark stag
#

do you see what we can do from there?

hallow smelt
#

ya thanks

hallow smelt
#

wouldn't dividing everything by h/100 leave the left side equal to 1

cold plaza
#

h divide by h/1000 is same thing as h multiplied by 1000/h, which gives 1000 @hallow smelt

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

cold plaza
#

take the reciprocal of both sides

#

u get h/1000 = 1/(1/tan32 - 1/tan35), then multiply by 1000

hallow smelt
#

why are they doing that though

cold plaza
#

to solve for h

hallow smelt
#

H/1000 = tan32 - tan35 right?

cold plaza
#

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)

hallow smelt
#

@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

cold plaza
#

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)}

somber coyoteBOT
cold plaza
#

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

hallow smelt
#

wouldnt taking the reciprocal of 1/tan32 and 1/tan35 wind up the same?

cold plaza
#

,, \frac{1}{tan(32)} - \frac{1}{tan(35)}

somber coyoteBOT
cold plaza
#

is not the same as

dark sparrow
#

\tan

cold plaza
#

,, \frac{1}{tan(32)- tan(35)}

somber coyoteBOT
cold plaza
#

gget it?

#

basically, (1/x) - (1/y) is not the same as 1/(x-y)

hallow smelt
#

what is the recip suppose to be then?

cold plaza
#

it would be

#

,, \frac{1}{\frac{1}{tan(32)}- \frac{1}{tan(35)}}

somber coyoteBOT
cold plaza
#

which is what they're writing in the second line

hallow smelt
#

okay

#

at least i see what they did now

#

thanks

cold plaza
#

np

hallow smelt
#

so you cant just cross multiply on line 1

#

tan32 * 1000 and tan 35*1000

#

to be clear

cold plaza
#

yes

#

(u cant do that)

hallow smelt
#

LOL

#

remembers how I failed to understand the recip

#

clarifies

#

thanks alot though

cold plaza
#

np

upper karma
#

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

spark stag
#

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)?

dark sparrow
#

@upper karma got a picture?

upper karma
#

Unfortunately not. But let me try and draw one

#

kinda badly drawn but

#

the arch extends upwards

#

it just cuts off

#

@dark sparrow

dark sparrow
#

...what's the shape of the arch?

#

is it a spherical dome or what

upper karma
#

Yeah

dark sparrow
#

...well then there you have it don't you

#

you've got a cylinder with a hemisphere stuck on top

upper karma
#

Oh now I feel stupid

#

Lmao, thanks

hallow smelt
#

why cant i say y = cos45*600

#

then sin 45*y = H

keen aspen
#

what

#

cos(45) would be (600-d)/y

dire rampart
#

600 is the base of the whole thing

#

that triangle isnt right angeled

hallow smelt
#

so you can only SocCahToa right angles?

keen aspen
#

yes

hallow smelt
#

oh dam did not tell us that

keen aspen
#

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

hallow smelt
#

does the big triangle have to equal 180?

#

to get the angle for the 600

keen aspen
#

I dont know what you mean by that

hallow smelt
#

I mean the Y-X-600M triangle

#

the third unknown angle is it just 180-45-75

keen aspen
#

yep

#

now apply law of sines

hallow smelt
#

ehhh

#

got the right answer =]

#

H = 473

keen aspen
#

epic

hallow smelt
#

can i assume that on the other side of the dotted red line at the bottom

#

is another 90 degree angle

keen aspen
#

other side?

hallow smelt
#

the H dotted red line

#

you see how one side is 90 degrees

#

can i assume the other is also 90

keen aspen
#

tyes

hallow smelt
#

thanks

#

I should try and find some time to retake geometry

#

I already solved it correctly, but i did SohCahToa

#

and it was along process..

frozen kraken
#

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

vernal tusk
#

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

fleet wolf
#

you can find the slope of the tangent line at every point on the circle

vernal tusk
#

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

fleet wolf
#

then use where it meets the circle to find y intercept

vernal tusk
#

exactly

#

i'm not asking a question, again

#

i solved it

#

it works

#

just thought it was interesting

fleet wolf
#

ok

vernal tusk
#

used slope and point slope form

supple abyss
#

it's good that you're having fun

vernal tusk
#

get to drag it around and it's fun

#

yeee

dire rampart
#

no fun in mathspandaRee

shh before i wack u with baguette

hallow smelt
#

When I plot the function 400sincos that shit looks crazy as fuck and not like this picture

#

why does theirs not look insane

spark stag
#

@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

supple abyss
#

this might just be my eyes being fucked up

#

but their pictures does't look symmetrical to me thonk

spark stag
#

ah yeah, good point

#

fsr it also goes above y=200

#

i think it was hand-drawn

#

still looks the right general shape though

hallow smelt
#

Oh shit how did you decide to use range 0 to 300?

#

I wasnt using desmos was using my ti-84

spark stag
#

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

hallow smelt
#

is there a way to get the ti-84 to give me pie/4 as a value instead of decimals?

spark stag
#

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

hallow smelt
#

ya that makes sense

#

the whole point of this is so I can get the dimensions of a cross section

timid dagger
hallow smelt
#

can you cut ABE in half to make a 90 degree angle and cut 2m to 1?

flint compass
#

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)

upper karma
#

Given area of rhombus and the angles how do u find the side lengths?

supple abyss
flint compass
#

@supple abyss I can't read the first drawing and I don't understand what the second drawing proves.

supple abyss
#

how about now

flint compass
#

How’s it equal to sin of theta plus Pi/2 tho? I still don’t get why it works out that way.

supple abyss
#

congruent triangles

flint compass
#

Right but they’re both theta not theta + Pi/2. How does that relate?

supple abyss
#

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

flint compass
#

What do you mean by “the blue angles is Pi/2 - theta because it’s in a straight line with Pi/2 + theta?

supple abyss
#

in this picture for example

#

ignoring the degree sign

#

a=pi-b

#

due to this

flint compass
#

Yeah

#

So is the x axis the line?

supple abyss
#

yeah

flint compass
#

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

supple abyss
#

well it's actually both

hallow smelt
#

How did they get 138.2 degrees as a second answer???

vagrant elk
#

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

hallow smelt
#

so how do i easily find the 138.2 answer?

vagrant elk
#

you use sin ^-1 as provided by your calculator

#

and then 180-that because it's symmetrical you just do that to "work backwards"

hallow smelt
#

why does the following question only have 1 answer?

vagrant elk
#

Cosine doesn't have the same symmetry

#

since it starts at one and goes to -1 in that same interval

hallow smelt
#

so then sine and csc are the only ones who are going to have two values 0-180

#

or 0 to pie

vagrant elk
#

Cos definitely doesn't have the same niceness

hallow smelt
#

is there a reason they chose to use COT instead of Tan ?

vagrant elk
#

not as far as I can see at first glance other than to introduce them all

hallow smelt
#

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

dark sparrow
#

mb because they consider cot^-1(s/50) to be less intimidating than tan^-1(50/s)

vagrant elk
#

i don't get it

hallow smelt
#

how was i suppose to know to add K there

supple abyss
#

ye

dark sparrow
#

proportionality constant

supple abyss
hallow smelt
#

I have never used that explicitly in my life

#

that i know of

supple abyss
#

although the k makes the 8000 redundant GWchadMEGATHINK

hallow smelt
#

so K and 8000 are the same thing?

supple abyss
#

no

#

an arbitrary constant multiplied by 8000 is still an arbitrary constant

hallow smelt
#

is that something most teachers would want us to signify is there?

#

the K

supple abyss
#

if you don't put it there it's just wrong

#

nothing about your teacher

hallow smelt
#

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

supple abyss
#

ye

hallow smelt
#

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

supple abyss
#

$\Delta E∝\Delta T$ or $\Delta E = k\Delta T, k \in \mathbb{R}$

somber coyoteBOT
hallow smelt

LOL

#

what is the constant then

I'm not even sure the original thing is true

honest bay
#

well

#

is this the question

dire rampart
#

,w is ((cos(2x)+cos(2y))/(sinx+cosx) equal to 2cosy-2sinx

honest bay
#

lol

halcyon coyote
dire rampart
#

gimme sec lemme try the question

honest bay
#

$-2sin^2(a)+2cos^2(b)$

somber coyoteBOT
honest bay
#

$\frac{-2(cos^2(b)-sin^2(a))}{sin(a)+cos(b)}$

somber coyoteBOT
honest bay
#

should be like this

halcyon coyote
#

tho now you can use

#

(a²-b²) = (a+b)(a-b)

honest bay
#

Ohhhh

dire rampart
#

that gives the minus of what u want tho

honest bay
#

well it is solved now

dire rampart
#

no what u have is -2(cosb-sina)

honest bay
#

yeah

dire rampart
#

u want 2cosb-2sina

#

theres a minus that shouldnt be there

honest bay
#

hmmm

#

yup

dire rampart
#

oh u factored wrong

honest bay
#

yeaaah

#

i see

dire rampart

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 $9C/5 = F-32$

somber coyoteBOT

And then you add the 32 to both sides and then you can write the equation as

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

supple abyss

use $\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta \equiv 1$

somber coyoteBOT

When do I use that formula? I tried working on the right side first

use it on the left

hello friends

#

i didnt cant get that

eager mesa
#

what you solving

slate pewter
#

you can know the both in the tringle

#

but i need to know (D) (F) and (E) Angels

eager mesa
#

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

slate pewter
#

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.

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?

spark stag
#

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

upper karma
#

I see, thank you.

spark stag
#

yeah, so you factor out 2

#

not 1/2

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

upper karma
#

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)

Is there a formula to calculate cosine?

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

#

you know a and x but nothing else?

celest wave
#

yes

dark sparrow
#

write out the pythagorean theorem for every right triangle in this problem

#

see what you can get

celest wave
#

i cant really do much with it as i only know these two

dark sparrow
#

no i mean you've got all those other variables to play with

#

in the picture

#

do it in terms of those

celest wave
#

i dont understand what im supposed to do with the unknown variables

vague pagoda
#

trig

dark sparrow
#

express them in terms of known variables, and potentially each other

#

this can be done trig-free

#

$\begin{cases} a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \ x^2 + h^2 = b^2 \ h^2 + y^2 = a^2 \ x + y = c \end{cases}$

somber coyoteBOT
dark sparrow
#

@celest wave does this make sense to you

celest wave
#

i understand these

#

but do you want me to make up values for the unknown variables?

dark sparrow
#

no

#

i do not

#

immediately you can see that you can take the first and second equations and combine them into one: $a^2 + x^2 + h^2 = c^2$

somber coyoteBOT
dark sparrow
#

and since you don't care about b you might as well just forget x^2 + h^2 = b^2

#

$\begin{cases} a^2 + x^2 + h^2 = c^2 \ h^2 + y^2 = a^2 \ x + y = c \end{cases}$

somber coyoteBOT
celest wave
#

i cant really use any of these yet as i dont know h or y

dark sparrow
#

yeah, but again, you can eliminate another variable you don't care about

#

in this case, h

#

h^2 = a^2 - y^2

#

$\begin{cases} 2a^2 + x^2 - y^2 = c^2 \ x + y = c \end{cases}$

somber coyoteBOT
celest wave
#

i still dont know what i am supposed to do with this as i dont know y

dark sparrow
#

you don't care about y, so eliminate it

#

y = c - x

celest wave
#

i mean i do care about y as y is needed to figure out c

dark sparrow
#

you don't care about y in that you don't need to find the value of y

#

and you can eliminate it

#

$2a^2 + x^2 - (c-x)^2 = c^2$

somber coyoteBOT
dark sparrow
#

et voilà, an equation in a, x and c only

celest wave
#

lets say a = 9 and x = 3

#

then would something like 14.316 sound reasonable

dark sparrow
#

over 10000 might be just a little too much

celest wave
#

those are decimals

dark sparrow
#

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?

celest wave
#

those values are the ones i had

#

and i dont know what you mean by solving c directly

dark sparrow
#

$2a^2 + x^2 - c^2 + 2cx - x^2 = c^2$

somber coyoteBOT
dark sparrow
#

$c^2 - xc - a^2 = 0$

somber coyoteBOT
dark sparrow
#

$c = \frac{x + \sqrt{x^2 + 4a^2}}{2}$

somber coyoteBOT
dark sparrow
#

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)

dark sparrow
#

ok first off don't use x for multiplication

#

second, 5 m is not the height of any of those triangles

merry rapids
#

Is 5m the slant height?

dark sparrow
#

no

merry rapids
#

The perpendicular height of the pyramid?

dark sparrow
#

yes

merry rapids
#

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?

dark sparrow
#

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

merry rapids
#

Sorry my bad, but wouldn't I still do Pythagoras in order to achieve that?

dark sparrow
#

i mean yes you'll end up using the pythagorean theorem

merry rapids

Need help

upper karma
#

@vital frost

vital frost
#

yo

upper karma
#

In [3] solve for the other angle of that triangle

#

First do that

vital frost
#

could u please do it

#

im completely lost

upper karma
#

You first need to find what t is

upper karma
#

Hmm

#

@vital frost I think I found a way

vital frost
#

ok

#

@upper karma what is it

upper karma
#

@vital frost angle b is a right angle because it intercepts a semicircle

#

So t=8

#

Then plug 8 into (4t+1)

vital frost
#

how do u know t =8

upper karma
#

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°

vital frost
#

so 7t+1 would be 57

upper karma
#

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°

vital frost
#

is that what the question is asking me>

upper karma
#

I think so

#

Wait

vital frost
#

Solve for the arc length AB is segment AC is a diameter of the circle measuring 8 yrds

upper karma
#

We found the angle measure of the arc so now we can calculate arc length

#

So the radius is 4 yards

vital frost
#

mhm

upper karma
#

Use the arc length formula for 66° and 4 yards

#

@vital frost got it?

vital frost
#

uh no

upper karma
#

So you have the measure of arc AB, right?

vital frost
#

yes

#

66

upper karma
#

And you have the radius

#

Take 66/360

#

Multiply it by 2×pi×4

vital frost
upper karma
#

Yes

#

Now round to whatever it tells you to round to

vital frost
#

doesnt say

upper karma
#

I would round to the hundredth

#

Now for [2]

#

@vital frost

vital frost
#

yo

upper karma
#

Now to solve [2]

vital frost
#

ok

upper karma
#

Notice how LMOP is a quadrilateral?

vital frost
#

yes

#

its a kite

upper karma
#

And quads have a total measure of 360°?

vital frost
#

yes

upper karma
#

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°

vital frost
#

ok

#

is that all u ahve to do ?

upper karma
#

Yes

vital frost
#

how about the circumscribed angle method

upper karma
#

Okay

#

So the measure of a circumscribed angle is supplementary to its arc

#

So the arc MP=165°

#

180-165=15

vital frost
#

alright

#

on to [1]

upper karma
#

#

#

I need help finding x and y

#

I know what y is

#

I put y=45 is that right

astral hornet
#

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

upper karma
#

Yeah u use 45-45-90

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?

hallow smelt
#

why is tan-1(-20) possible?

#

doesnt that mean the opposite over adj is a negative? how can distances be negative

plucky marlin
#

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

hallow smelt
#

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?

plucky marlin
#

what ?

hallow smelt
#

the value of tan-1(-20) is -1.5

#

x180/pi = -87 degrees

#

wouldnt 180 - (-87degrees) be over 180?

#

thats what im saying

plucky marlin
#

yeah 180 + 87 > 180

hallow smelt
#

but they ignored the fact that its negative

#

they just did 180 - 87

#

whyyy

plucky marlin
#

what exactly are you doing ?

#

context might help

hallow smelt
#

ill ss the solution sec

#

I get that they even/odd propertied it out right

#

wouldnt it be 180 - (-tan)

plucky marlin
#

do you know in which quadrants is tan(x) negative ?

hallow smelt
#

2/4

plucky marlin
#

yeah

#

in this case your theta is between 0 and 180

#

so only the 2nd quadrant sits in there

hallow smelt
#

so Q 2

plucky marlin
#

so ur theta cant be more than 180

#

hold up

#

lemme draw it

hallow smelt
#

ah i see where you're going with this

#

that was super helpful

plucky marlin
#

yeah okay ignore my poor drawing

hallow smelt
#

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

plucky marlin
#

yeah

hallow smelt
#

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

plucky marlin

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

little osprey
#

what?

young hemlock
#

what

little osprey
#

Sorry ignore Kronk rn 😂

#

So ok

#

On 1

#

You have 3 quarters right?

young hemlock
#

yes

upper karma
little osprey
#

So to find the arc length what do you need?

upper karma
#

Don't ignore me

#

I told u answer

little osprey
#

Wait you're confusing me Kronk

young hemlock
#

@little osprey theta?

little osprey
#

Uh yeah, and what is theta?

young hemlock
#

the angle

little osprey
#

What is the angle in between the sides of a quarter

young hemlock
#

90

little osprey
#

Yes

#

Do you know the formula to find the arc length?

young hemlock
#

um

#

theta by 360 times 2 pi radius

little osprey
#

yeah, that's for a circle

#

so in a quarter

young hemlock
#

oh

little osprey
#

you would replace the theta with 90
