k i just kicked them
hmmmmm....
why does he think fishraider is being a smartass
im confused also
not a big deal
He mentioned how The Formula is 1/2 R^2 x Theda
What does this mean
He wanted to do it another way
that's another formula
that's the way with radians I believe
How I do this
which question?
The 31 5.12
And the 8 11
For the following write the correct equation
Is it
Sin(b) 31/c?
nono, 31 degrees is the angle here
you can take angle A for trig, which is 31 degrees
Do i just rotate each point by 45 degrees?
@marble parcel channel seems taken atm
@high zephyr so how do I write it
first, do u know your trig ratios?
No
Ohh yes that
I know those my teacher taught us sohcahtoa
Idk how to do the correct equation tho
It’s for sin
@upper karma what
Idk
Need help wirh msth
Help with what
The write the correct equation
Write correct equation of what
What equation
Sin
Sin(31) = 5.12/c
Since 5.12 is the opposite side
Ohh ty
And c is the hypotenuse
How abt
Sin = opposite/hypotenuse
Is it
Sin(x) 8/11?
Yea
Ty
You could use arcsin to find what x is
But idk if ur trying to get that rn
Not yet
Alright
Your welcome
🙏
||you're 💩||
Lmao
apply the intersecting secants theorem
then solve for x
example of what?
what's the equation you have after applying that theorem?
For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than search it for themselves.
Bruh
Look it up
Thats like him doing your homework
At least put some effort
X = 66
If 66 is the central angle
it's not 16
Oh wait
read the theorem carefully
can you show your work?
the 1 is just a label
Oh
ok. type your work.
yes
what equation do you have after applying that theorem
^
intersecting chords theorem
(because those are chords that are intersecting each other)
use tangent chord theorem: 53 is half of x
also it's a triangle
and also consider alternate segment theorem
yes
no
how are you getting those values?
Nope it isnt mate
Umm wait i might have spoked too far
I didnt said anything yet lol
that does sound right
Grats
x is not 88-64 over 2
👍
u're trying to find x right?
,w 9(9+x)=12(12+12)
Yes
what question are you talking about
the angle one or the side one
the side one is 23 but the angle one is 40
Lmao
@high zephyr did you ping me
Hey, so I was thinking about a cone today, and I was trying to derive the volume of the cone.
My first thought was:
- Get circumference of circle: 2πr
- Get area of triangle: ½bh
- And then multiply the two, so it's like a bunch of triangles appearing on the circumference:
- 2πr * ½rh = πr²h
This is clearly wrong. But I'm not sure why.
I imagine its because the relation between area/volume and circumference/perimeter of shapes doesn't work the way I think.
hmm.
That is not making any sense because you are multiplying by the area of the triangle
it would've made more sense if you did area of base * height /2 instead of /3
Area of b*h/2 instead of b*h/3?
it would've made more sense if you did area of base * height /2 instead of /3
@acoustic jungle he did do base*height /2
oh no I meant like area of base (circle) * height
👌
Right, the other intuitive way that seems to work is by getting the volume of a pyramid: ⅓lwh
And then replacing the base area: lw
With area of a circle: πr²
Getting you: ⅓πr²h
Im still slightly upset as to why the circumference*triangles didn't work, but I imagine something like the left side of the image happened.
This whole ⅓ thing about cone's pisses me off, but turns out when people make cone cutouts, it usually looks like ⅓ or a circle too.
https://www.firstpalette.com/images/printable-mainpic/cone.png
oh I see what you mean now.
It feels unintuitive that, it doesn't work.
However why do you have 2pi * r inside the circle
Oh, that's the circumference.
Because I initially imagined the triangles appearing out from the rims of the circle.
You extended the inside of the circle at origin O to 2pi*r
so you are getting a larger value.
Oh crap yeah.
it's like saying the area of the circle is 2pi*r^2
So yeah, it'd be impossible for that to work, since no matter what I do, there's going to be the big gap in the middle of the cone.
Yeah big rip.
I think my misunderstanding is coming from mixing up circles/cones with how squares/rectangles work.
,rotate
Appreciate it
what do you need help on?
hrm
i need some help in understanding the relationship between 79, then 118
and then separately, 54 and x
errr uhhh. like how to solve it
hi
so
how would one
solve this
from my hw assignment
Determine the height of the hypotenuse if alpha = 34 ° 12'33 '' and b = 9 cm.
Length of hypotenuse will sound more grammatically correct
oh he left the server 
@upper karma it's not around 30, it should be 15 off from 30, use the secant secant angle theorem.
how do i get the area of ABC
i know the coordinates for A,B and the angle v
and also calculated the circles equation
What unit is this ? (I don't know how to do it either)
unit?
like what unit is this
what is a unit? sry english isn't my main language
What have you learned during this time when solving this question.
I've calculated the circles equation and the equation for the tangent going through B
if that's what u mean
What I mean is, what similar questions have you done, what is this question related to?
is AB the diameter
Yes
yep
calculate length of AC and CB
i thought it was the area including the curved part
then multiply then divide by 2.
It is
and add the area of that chord thing (the central angle is 2 times that angle)
Is the question supposed to be tedious.
You can find the length of CB and AC using trig since ACB is a right triangle
how
and you know the length of AB using the length formula.
i was thinking of making a straight line through AC and finding C from intersection with circle
Well you wouldn't need to find the exact coordinates
if yo know the lengths you can find the area of the triangle
but how
I'm really not sure if it's the easiest way, because after finding the area of the triangle you have to calculate the area of that chord by doing 2v/360 * pi *r^2 - area of small triangle OBC
I'll post your question again, maybe someone will have an easier way
how do i get the area of ABC
i know the coordinates for A,B and the angle v
and also calculated the circles equation
You can find the area of ABC by finding AC and BC by doing sin(v) = BC/AB
but this is probably not a good way to do the problem.
draw the centre of the circle. Call it O, say and observe that it is on AB. Draw line OC. This will split your region into two areas, triangle AOC and sector BOC. Find the areas of both and add them.
yeah and the angle for BOC would be 2v because of angle at center
wouldn't i need the coordinates for C for all of these solutions?
no not really
you have the equation for the circle right?
then you also have radius
That's a much better way than what I had.
area of sector BOC is r²(2v)/2
area of triangle AOC is r²sin(π-2v)/2
@solid swan shouldn't it be BOC is r^2*sin(2v)?
A_2 + A_3 still gives the same thing so works too
If you are given the angle in degrees you should use degrees to find that sector PBC
40/360 * pi *r^2
and to find triangle APC use the 1/2 ab*sin(c)
I just realized something, APC and PBC have the same area? (The triangles)
since they are both r^2 * sin(40)/2
wait no
angle APC is 180° - v_0
which is 140°
oh
nevermind i forgot about identities
they have same area yea 😛
I think it will.
but at 90 degrees though
let PC be perpendicular to AB
then area of triangle APC should be equal to that of triangle BPC
but what about the remaining part
angle APC is always 180 - angle BPC
I believe they are always equal.
since the area of APC is always r^2 sin(180 - BPC)/2
or just r^2 sin(BPC)/2
wait no no no no
sinθ = θ only applies for small angles of θ only
the formulas are different
area of sector is r²θ/2
area of triangle is ab(sinθ)/2
there's no sine in area of sector
I was talking about the triangle.
Probably I'm trying to be too smart for my own good by using De Moivre's theorem
Why did this way not work?
(the reason why this way immediately jumped out to me is because I thought it would give me an easy way to evaluate out the sum)
rockpaperscissors:
Need a bit of help—
When given an intersection on the unit circle, I need to determine an angle measure.
And I have no idea how to do that
“Finding angle measures (in degrees) in standard position”
How do I do that?
@fleet wolf I tried to multiply through so that I could get a term with k+1 so that I could cancel stuf fout
Like
You know
The standard trick for evaluating a geometric series
For your question
Draw a diagram
Take the x coordinate of the point of intersection
You then have how far along it is on the x axis and you know the radius of the unit circle
You can then find the angle using the standard trigonometric functions
Or the y coordinate
Depends on what you want to do
Good
<@&286206848099549185> It's been an hour and a half please help me
o yea btw, most people ehre dont like doign questions in dm
@acoustic jungle thank u
hi
hello
Send problems here
determine the remaining sides and angles of the triangle ABC A=140 40', C=20 20', AB=9
140 and 20 are degrees
does anyone know how to do this u need to find the area of the shaded area
@upper karma
I don't have functions of degrees with minutes on my calculator, so calculate it yourself pls :<
@upper karma find the radius of the small circle and big circle, then subtract the area of the small circle from the area of the big circle
do i subtract 21-3.5 to find the diameter?
the diameter of the big circle is 21
and the diameter of the smaller circle is 21-2(3.5)
ok
draw a line connecting the vertices at the top @upper karma
you will find that the shaded area is the area of parallelogram minus right triangle
how do i find the other side for the rectangle
the two points
the parallel points?
yes
,rotate
draw this blue line @upper karma
i did it just didn't show
oh
which side @upper karma
you move the basic sinusoidal function vertically or horizontally @upper karma
The Phase Shift is how far the function is shifted horizontally from the usual position
the bottom side is 23.8
ya
is pi/2
so 2PI
find amplitude, period, and midline
also it helps to identify whether it's better to use a cosine or sine graph
can u help me wit this @novel flax
the diagonal of the square is the diameter of the circle
its 8?
the diagonal is 8root 2 which is also the length of the diameter
the radius is half of the diameter so radius is 4root2
the area of the circle is the radius squared so it's 32 pi
the area of the square is 8*8 = 64 so subtract it from the area of the circle
and u get 32pi-64
Do you mean 2c.
cos u is -4/5
also your teacher is very smart to put two variables that look like the same thing
What variable
lol the u and the v
Lol
sin v should be negative as well
I agree.
Make sense now
Algebra
Algebra

is that 70 or 7°?
Whats that thingy next to the seven
0
no its 7^0
Oh
its the exponent
hehe sory
I guess that's a good place to start.
what's 7^0?
Would it be 1?
yes
ok
do you know how negative exponents work?
They are not negative they just only are being like divided which makes them positive
like
a^2 = 1/a^-2
like that?
negative exponents is a term used to refer to exponents expressed with a negative power
yes.
oh okay.
so what would 3^(-2) be?
apply what you just posted moments ago.
maybe rearrange it a bit
3^(-2) isn't 9
So I need to use the negative exponent?
I mean the exponent is negative here...
yes
and overall what will the entire expression simplify to?
1/3² * 5/7⁰
simplify everything
5/9?
yep
also what's this doing in the geotrig channel
lol idk
Its not that out of place lol
I learned factoring quadratics in Geometry class
Even though polynomials are more algebra
(x+a)(x+b)=x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Isnt that cool
Is this channel open? I was kinda hoping to ask about the Hinge Theorem, I don't think I quite understand it.
Ill break this down into four steps
Yes
Find the midline
What’s the midline
Find the midline of the function
Y=6
Yes yes, continue
Now you must find the amplitude
Is this channel open? I was kinda hoping to ask about the Hinge Theorem, I don't think I quite understand it.
@frail rock
Why don't you understand it? It looks intuitively easy to understand, for example with this picture I found in the internet
What dis
Not u donnie but deltaphi guy
Oh, thank you. The course I'm doing rn didn't really explain it well.
Sorry if I caused some trouble.
Ofc u didn't
@jolly bear find the amplitude
Ur thinking backwards
You use the period to find b
Not the other way around
How often does the function repeat itself?
Depend, for trig function alway
Let me just tell u
The horizontal distance between a min and a max is half of the period
2pi/period = b
Really
Yeah
Shouldn’t it be full period
No
A period is how long it takes to get back to the same position
Like from a minimum to the next minimum
But you have a minimum and a maximum
Oh my bad, messed up
Vertical shift?
Horizontal
Lemme think
It is "c" on that paper you sent
Yes
Yes
Where is your "starting point"?
8,2
What did you choose as your starting point?
Uhm,I choose 0,4
0,5
I’m so bad at calculating lol
What do we do with the midline
The function is equal to its midline halfway between the min and the max
So that must be your starting point
Because sine curve starts on the midline
So that halfway distance is the horizontal distance?
It is not 2
Im sorry i phrased that weird
The starting point for a sine curve is halfway between the min and the max
So in this case it is as x=6
And y=6
So 6,6
Wat
That is your starting point
Which is how you determine the horizontal shift
It is 6 to the right of a normal sine curve
So Basiclly to find the starting point. U take the average of the max and min coordinate?
Which is 6,6 right
alright
@rich wolf
Hello all i have a qeustion
I need to find 24 points evenly spaced around a circle where the ceneter of the circle is 0,0 and the radius is 33
I have no idea how to do this im no math man
Do you mean that you need to place 24 points on the circumference of the circle such that the arcs created by these points are of equal lengths?
Doing Euclidean geometry
whats the second line mean
For context, the problem is
I'm pretty sure it means parallel.
oh wow im dumb
Rat is correct.
A bit strange, since generally there are only 2 end points picked for the line. 🤔
Nah, it's fine. I don't think I've ever seen the parallel sign written like that til now.
Yeah, the latter line confused me a bit.
My teacher's handwriting just gives me a headache lmao
Wonder why they did PRTU instead of PU or something kek.
Yeah that's what tripped me up
I misread PRTU as SRTU so I was like... tf is the relationship between these 2 segments and that segment
And then I was thinking if he meant angle and jesus christ almighty the sudden realization that that was a parallel symbol just makes me feel like such an idiot
Thanks a lot!
Your welcome
Happy to help. :D
:)
Cameron, if you're still there, is it still relevant?
But what does it tell us about the shift
where does the normal sine curve start
At 0,0
and we are trying to find the horizontal shift
Yes
or whatever the variable is
Now how do we find the d
What
d is the "midline" of the function
Oh damn
which is the amount the function is shifted vertically
Ok, this make sense now
What else
just write the eq and i'll show you
Ok
Yes
but the max came before the min
so the way our sine curve goes, according to our starting point, is down first, then up
Yes
so if you have a sine curve that goes down first, what does that mean?
It mean they are not showing u what is before what go down first
sure.
you can calculate that point though
because we know the period
but there's an easier way
Yes
the red curve is sin(x)
the blue curve starts at (0,0) and goes down
what is the blue curve?
yes. it is negative sin(x)
so if a sine curve goes down first, its amplitude must be negative
so take that eq you have there
Ok
$f(x)=4\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}(t-6))+6$
AMD:
and make the amplitude negative
AMD:
that is your answer
@limber patio did you get it? could you tell me what you did because I used the angle bisector theorem to prove it which probably isn't that good of a way.

I'll try and see how to prove it though
I did it by the angle bisector theorem and similar triangles.
there's the problem again
my diagram is pretty much exactly that
Alright i got it
I was being the big dumb
So first you know that v is the midpoint of arc pvu via the given
As such, arc pv and vu are congruent
and because angles spv and uqv intercept congruent arcs, theyre congruent
then you know that sq and prtu are parallel
so because the arcs between two parallel chords are congruent, sp and qu are congruent
then finally because sq is congruent to sq via reflexive property
we can use arc addition and get arc psq is congruent to arc squ
and because angles spr and qut intercept congruent arcs
then are congruent
so we have ASA congruence
and as such, pr is equal to ut
just "ignore" the pi and add it later
You would do it in terms as pi meaning don't evaluate pi
it should look something like (some number) * pi
so 226(pi symbol)
im confused i dont really understand all these symbols
you should have something that looks like 6pi*12+9pi * 2
and you factor out the pi.
@tame ore bro think about it this way
What is a cylinder
It is a "net" (folding) of some 2D objects
He's asking what in terms of pi means.
so 6 pi
Treat pi as a variable and put your answer in terms of that variable.
A cube is 6 squares
What is a cylinder?
A cylinder is a combination of some 2d shapes
so 226 divided by pi and thats the answer?
Ok just listen to fish
so my answer is 3.14 pi symbol
Let me make this one thing clear:
Pi is a transcendental number
Which means its exact value is not known
Which means that we can only approximate it to a certain extent
If we say "in terms of pi" that means do not approximate
Leave pi as pi
When would a function not have a limit?
If it doesnt approach the same value from both sides
By chapter of Limits using properties of limits
45 degrees.
the circumference is 2pi*r
and that shaded circumference is 200/360 of total length
thx
Theta =s/r
how do i find s
The area of the sector corresponds to the portion that the angle is out of the entire 360° turn that is the circle.
Meaning, for example, if you had a sector with 90°, which is a "quarter turn," then its area would be a quarter that of the circle's.
Can someone please help tell me what I need to do to find r
can someone help me find the angle of a right angle triangle
inscribed angle theorem @glad gorge
Obama, could you please show the question, for context?
use arcsin to find x.
Are you comfortable with sin, cos, tan and what they mean?
sin^(-1)
The inverse function of sin.
It's a function that takes the value of sin and returns the angle that creates that sin value.
Could you please take a picture of your calculator?
Alternatively, can I show you how to do it with Google?
i have the casio fx-82 plus 2
By the way, do you know how to tell whether you're using radians or degrees?
I see.
It's just that sometimes, people don't know they're using the wrong units on the calculator and get a wrong answer.
ye
so how should i lay out the equation?
just like if im trying to find a hypoteneus or adjacent?
You know two sides in the triangle:
The opposite side, and the hypotenuse.
In this case, you must figure out the trigonometric ratio with:
surface area: 2 pi r h + 2 pi r^2
^ we're not gonna straight off give u an answer
ok think of the cylinder as 2 circle plates and a piece of paper wrapped around it
the area of each of the plates is πr² = 9π so if you multiply it by 2 you get 2πr² = 18π
and then the piece of paper wrapped around
the width of it is 12cm given
but then the length would be equal to the circumference of the circle plate
which is 2(3π) = 6π in this case
so the area of the piece of paper would be 12(6π) = 72π
@teal frigate you can also use the Law of Sines
17/sin(90) = 15/sin(x)
17/1 = 15/sin(x)
17 = 15/sin(x)
15/sin(x) = 17 (same as above, only reversed)
1/sin(x) = 17/15 (move the 15 to the other side)
sin(x)/1 = 15/17 (reciprocal gives the same result but makes it easier to get sin(x))
sin(x) = 15/17
x = sin^(-1)(0.882) (also called arcsin)
x = ~62 degrees
How does one solve this? Getting a few ideas but im not rlly sure
@rose rover
Start off from doing Pythagoream
yeah, there are 90 degree triangles around the edges
Ofc its a square
find the area for those (which is really only one right triangle x 4)
then find the area for the large square
then subtract the two areas
and you get the one in the middle
there is overlapping tho
Lmk when you got the hypothenuse
assuming hypotenuse c, c^2 = 250
sounds good
once you find the area for this section everything falls into place
it's basically the area of the big 90 degree triangle (at the top) minus the area for the two small 90 degree triangles
you have 4 small triangles and 4 "middle" sections
once you have the area for those, you add them all up and you get the "outer" ring
then you find the area for the entire square
and subtract the area for the "outer ring"
?
Where did you prove the triangle is a 3,4, 5 right triangle @upper karma
i assume we can use pythagorean triplets?
no??
Yeah i was wondering the same
If I may give a hint:
||You can note that the triangles around the square are right-angled, and that the vertices connecting the inner and outer square are perpendicular to the hypotenuses. How can you go about calculating the areas of these triangles?||
I don't know how you would solve it that way. You would be over counting.
I would use similar triangles.
Notice that you are over-counting if you calculate the area of the 15 - by - 5 right-angled triangles.
However, if you were to calculate the triangles generated by the height and the greater portion of the hypotenuse, then you wouldn't be.
I'm referring to these.
Happens to the best of us. Don't let it get to you.
why do you want to find the height of that?
you can find it by doing 5 *15/2=15 *x/2
where's the 5 coming from?
15 is the base, right?
but 5 is not the height. Look closer
oh I see what you mean.
thank you so much
you could easily solve the square question using trig, but that's a small brain move.
but I would use similar triangles.
Hint:
||What can you say about the relation between the sides, heights and areas of right-angled triangles?||
the image is wrong, probably on purpose (to throw you off)
the sides are almost identical
the blue square looks rotated to 30 degrees, but it's not
lol
not the law of sines, just basic trig ratios.
@quick schooner what don't you understand about them?
area should be: ||an integer||
@quick schooner
is it law or basic?
thanks alot
it works with any kind of triangle
not just right triangles
but yeah, you can also use SOH-CAH-TOA
which is the purpose of this exercise
true
our teacher didn't specify but i would assume basic since we just learned basic
but yeah we are using sohcahtah
is there a particular question you are struggling with atm?
@quick schooner
as long as you keep in mind that all angles from a triangle need to add up to 180 degrees, you should be fine
the hypotenuse is always the longest side from a triangle
now that I think about it, they probably want you to use use the 70 degree angle
in that case, you'll have to use cosine
SOH-CAH-TOA (the bold letters stand for: sine, cosine, tangent)
so CAH is cos(angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse (A and H)
cos(70) = 36 / x
x = 36 / 0.342
x = ~105.3
are you allowed calculators.
@acoustic jungle yeah
