You said you learned exact trig ratios
yeah did you learn 30 60 triangles
Yes
Yep
What kinda number u looking for?
one with a square root
But i dont have any other variables
yes you do
Yep
Ok
But do you understand how we got 6
Do you understand the process
6i s what?
Oh
so basically
you have a rectangle
and in a rectangle
opposite sides are equal
so 28-16
would give you the length of the base of the 2 triangles
and
28-16/2 would give you 1 triangle base
Very hard to explain through words
Hope u get it
Good luck u people
ok
Ok thx
Very much for yalls help@little osprey @upper karma
And for the moral support
yes
can someone help
note: this is not like a test q or anything its just an old practice
i know how to do it but i keep getting wrong answer. ig ill lay out what i did
Consider the top triangle and the first time it hits a square (let this height be h). This triangle is similar to the triangle where it hits the diagonal of the second square.
2/h=(2sqrt(2))/(h+2+sqrt(2))
h=(2+sqrt(2))/(sqrt(2)-1)
h=4+3sqrt(2)
height of the whole triangle --> h+2+2sqrt(2) = 6+5sqrt(2)
Now consider similarity of the triangle with height h and the whole triangle. let the base of the whole triangle be x
(6+5sqrt(2))/x=(4+3sqrt(2))/2
x=2(6+5sqrt(2))/(4+3sqrt(2))
Now find the area
A=1/2 * (2(6+5sqrt(2))/(4+3sqrt(2))) * (6+5sqrt(2)) = (6+5sqrt(2))^2/(4+3sqrt(2)) = (86+60sqrt(2))/(4+3sqrt(2))=3+48sqrt(2)
After subtracting area of squares (2*4=8), you get 48sqrt(2)-5
WHIch is WRONG
woah there son
how call those triangles where circumference = surface area ?
uh what
did you mean triangles whose perimeter is equal to their area?
because that's a unit-dependent property
like idk
if your triangle has the same number of meters in its perimeter as square meters in its area
it won't be the case anymore if you measure it in feet even though it's the same triangle
@wary bone there is no special name for those
there is... i found it on the weekend but forgot it 😦
and yes i mean perimeter
there are only 5 that work iirc
units can be converted... i just want the numbers. n wait, i wanted the name of thos triangles!
doesn't matter. i think 2 of them were pythagorean.
OK i found a working (rectangular) triangle:
a = 5, b = 12, c = 13
Perimeter / Circumference = 30
and Surface Area = 30
just how are they called??
(also that works with feet and meters likewise, if Ann is still interested here)
@soft gulch BIG TY 🙂
don't use x for multiplication
666
6 . 6. 6*
then I found the surface area of the cylinder which is 2 pi 2 * 6 + 2 * pi * 2 squared 100.53 as an answer
then i subtracted the prism by the cylinder
216 - 100.53 = 115.47
Subtract the 2 circles from the prism but add the inside
oh
You got it son
I believe in you
lol
190?
the answer
Hold on son
yeah ok
Yes
190.86
U got it
oh
surface area is that correct?
Yep
okay thanks
👍
what does a hemisphere with a closed base mean?
yea
Include the circle in ur calculations
it's a hemisphere but the circle at its base counts towards the surface area
Noice
Find the surface area of a hemisphere with a closed base, and has a circumference of 26 cm
is this 161.53?
or 161.38
or neither lol
it'd be much better if you gave exact answers rather than decimal approximations ngl
would be a lot easier to check
she means in terms of pi
oh
i don't think 161.5369243 is the exact value
My hw assignment tells me not to put it in terms of pi
actually it just doesnt say anything
then don't approximate
it'd be nice to see WHAT you're plugging into your calculator as opposed to just the output
ok
what does it mean?
fuck geometry help the #prealg-and-algebra 😔
exact means exact
3 * pi * 4.14 squared
oh
oh I get 4.14 cause I guess and checked until I got the circumference of 26
In order for me to get the radisu
radius*
do you not know the formula relating the circumference and radius of a circle
or do you not know how to do algebra
Probably forgot
C = 2πR
can you isolate R in this formula
To be honest no idea
I just plug in formulas
i was away, sorry
anyway i'm just kind of upset that you've chosen to go the "mindless plug and chug" route
It does not really matter to me yet
...
Online learning for me in math is so bad
i mean ok like... you couldn't even go from $C = 2\pi R$ to $R = \frac{C}{2\pi}$
Ann:
Plus I am pretty sure I got the radius correctly
,calc 26/(2*pi)
Result:
4.1380285203893
you rounded it
wtf
which probably caused some really unwanted imprecision in your answer for the surface area
I blame my texas instrument
you might be right on that
don't round until you've got a formula for your desired quantity in terms of everything you're given directly
damn it
yes, you will have to do some algebra
you can no longer get away with mindlessly throwing numbers into formulas
Which angles are you given?
do angles 1-18 have the same angle?
also, are rulers expensive where you live?
because you can use the side of a book or a copybook, you know
inscribed angle theorem

Can anyone explain why this foruma forms a circle? Also why do you need the square roots?
https://i.ibb.co/dmj02Xz/opera-6g-Qnv5vfaf.png
x^2 + y^2 = 1
Ok I kinda figured it out after looking at math open reference
@finite fractal no clue of this is right but I tried m8
just do line tan or cos or sin or somethin
yeah i did that its apparently wrong
really?
0k isnt it just cos inverse of 8.6/11.9? or is that the wrong answer as well
67 + 2
well you couldn't do my thing because if you just take a point from a random section in the triangle and angle length of that hypotenuse is different
true true
😦 I wanted to solve it
A little help with mine pwease
@civic jolt 
Well do you know of limits when x approaches by a side?
?
Basically $\lim_{x\to{1^{-}}}{f(x)}$ means the limit when f(x) approaches x from the LEFT side
Al𝟛dium:
Oww
And $\lim_{x\to{1^{+}}}{f(x)}$ means the limit when f(x) approaches x from the RIGHT side
Al𝟛dium:
So now look at the function
Alright
Point with your finger at x=1 ON the function
Ok
can i ask questions here?
or should i ask in the questions thing
sorry, you're in the middle of something
finish what you are doing
Now notice that when we move the finger a very little bit to the right side, it is y=1
Uh lemme think of a way of explaining this verbally
Ok now i think i have it
Limits is an important concept so you gotta understand this well
Now
Remember what i said and remember the definition of a limit
Basically $\lim_{x\to{1^{-}}}{f(x)}$ means the limit when f(x) approaches x from the LEFT side
Al𝟛dium:
Yes
Where the function from the left side of x=1 is at
0
Its not at y=1
Good job
Thats it
Its like thinking of a very close value for f(x) without touching x=1
For example f(1.99999999)
Which is f(1.999999)=0
So isn't x-> 1 positive = 2?
No, look again. What would be the value of f(2.00000001)
Or from the other way of looking it, move the finger a VERY little to the right
Approaches from the right side to 1
Yeah its 1
Not 2?
No
You can test it yourself
Or from the other way of looking it, move the finger a VERY little to the right
@upper karma .
It doesn't touch 2
Where is your point after doing this? At y=1
So that means we're focusing on these 2 graph only?
Uh those 2 lines aren't graphs
Are parts of the function
The graph is the whole thing
The function is basically, "the lines that are drawn"
The given graph is
f(x)=[x]
You should reread all i said, bc i wont keep repeating myself
Saying the function won't really help if you wanna locate it graphically
I know x-> 1 negative means that it's approaching from the left side and x-> 1 positive means that it's approaching from the right side
Good
You do understand that $\lim_{x\to{1^{-}}}{f(x)}=0$?
Al𝟛dium:
Aight what is f(2.000001)=?
2?
2 approach from the right is 1
@civic jolt yeah
(As an example)
Do you understand it now?
f(x)=1
Its taking values of x very close to 1, from the right, but without being 1
Wait im tripping
I mean f(1.0000001)=1 SORRY
So it's y=1
But x=1
$\lim_{x\to{1^{-}}}{f(x)}=0$ and $\lim_{x\to{1^{+}}}{f(x)}=1$ because look, we take values of X, close to 1, from the right like 1.0001. Do f(1.00001)=?, we can put into the function f(x)=[x] or look at the graph and think when we move the finger from point (1, 1) a VERY LITTLE to the right, y is ....? We notice that its y=1 after moving
Al𝟛dium:
1
Thats it
So WHATEVER I do
Y=/ 2
You gotta look at values of x, very close of 1, from the right WITHOUT BEING 1
So WHATEVER I do
Y=/ 2
@civic jolt ?
:nervous_laugh: isn't obvious to me...
:sweats_profusely:
You dont see that there is no point at all of the function at x=1, where y=2?!
On point (1, 2) there is literally nothing
Its blank
I know it's blank
Is it like this for every graph?
Ok tag me help is needed
Wait, I'm thinking of how I want to ask
Ok
Y is this discontinuous at x=1?
@upper karma
I've already simplified it to x-1
Where x=1
dont simplify it tho
the domain of a fraction, is when the denominator = 0
x-1=0 and x=1
so x=1 isnt continuous
How?
the domain of any fraction doesn't exist when the denominator = 0
SO WE ARE GONNA LOOK at when the denominator equals 0. We set up the denominator to 0, x-1=0 and x=1
so x=1 isnt continuous
What is meant by "the domain of any fraction"?
you haven't heard of the domain?
I may hv forgotten the name
wait lemme search a better definition
the domain of any fraction, is when the denominator = 0
didn't make sense
oh whoops
the domain of any fraction doesnt exist when the denominator = 0
the domain or set of departure of a function is the set into which all of the input of the function is constrained to fall. It is the set X in the notation f: X → Y. @civic jolt
good
post it
How do u prove that it is discontinuous by doing
lim f(x)=f(a)
x->a
It's 33.213 haha
Ow shit...
I can do this but I can't even solve my own...
How do u prove that it is discontinuous by doing
lim f(x)=f(a)
x->a
@civic jolt it is continuous at that point iff: the limit at that point, the limit at that point from the left side, the limit at that point from the right side and f(that point) are all equal
I see
as you can see, f(1) doesnt exist
but you should first check for the domain first than everything else
always
Yes
Because 1 does not =0
KAI HALP
Did u get 5.94 for the height of the pyramid?
was i meant to get the height 
height isn't needed
did you determine the length of the diagonal of the base square (or length from vertex to center)?
What do u hv?
So m I
U got 33?
u divide by 2 yes?
Yes
ok thank u
depends how you're applying it
:>
We're counting the base first
Ish...
but i get the process now
Ouch
i.e. whether you're using a big triangle to get the long diagonal
or applying it to the small triangle to get the length you need directly
xd
Yesh!
pythag isn't actually needed since you can just use trig
trig?
trignometry
:> what is this big brain sayin
from properties of a square and right isosceles triangles
AE=BE=CE=DE = 5.5cm/sqrt(2)
Yes
Because 1 does not =0
@civic jolt
If I determine the value of f(a)
x=1 is the only value of x that makes the denominator = 0, which is indetermined
If I determine the value of f(a)
@civic jolt wdym
alternatively,
BD =AC = 5.5cm * sqrt(2)
AE = AC/2 = 5.5cm * sqrt(2)/2 (= 5.5cm/sqrt(2))
and then apply the appropriate trig ratio
you wanna find f(1)?
when the denominator x=1, the denominator = 0, BUT NOT THE FUNCTION
Thanky
are you asking if the answer in blue is correct?
No
then what are you asking
welp you can't if they just give you the drawing, with no values
if thats what you are asking
omg bruh i literally just learnt what { meant today but i forgot
Welp
I've lived 11 yrs through unclear instructions...
That’s a piecewise function
?
welp you can't if they just give you the drawing, with no values
@upper karma .
Yeah
Welp
I've lived 11 yrs through unclear instructions...
@civic jolt
N I'm still alive...
The question says the graph is abs(x)
do you mean if you are given f(x)=|x|
So you know the values of the graph still
- & - yeah
The graph shows a visualization of where to split up the piecewise function
i dont understand what your question is, when you have specified tag me
I winged that question already
Hope it's correct
Doing a new one now with no graphs given
What’s the function
post it literally
what are you asked
do you have to graph it?
do. the. domain
what on earth is that
Domain
the domain of the previous function was all real numbers except x=1
lol
because x=1 made the denominator = 0
-1 can be tho, it'd make the denominator = 2
ah forgive
The range?
sorry bout that hahaha
the domain of the previous function was all real numbers except x=1
@civic jolt
im an idiot
no worries lol
didn't see the modulus lol
Is the domain here?
@civic jolt as you can see at the right side, the function isn't expressed on x=1
The ones in the brackets?
Isn't that the range for x?
it's a piece wise function
defined over different values of x
the set of all the values of x mentioned in the function definition, is its domain
oh it's a choice, you can get the helper role, but I'd get pinged everytime
thanks for the vouch though :p
i wouldn't want to be pinged all the time hahah
So...
but its fun to help to ppl
i just help when i feel like it
yeah plus it'd be stuff I can't help with sometimes too
x range is the domain?
Ohno don't do that
don't use both terms together like that
range is associated with the values that y can take
Yes
domain is the values that x can take
Ehh
here you see function is defined for
x<0
0<x<1
x>1
Yes
@civic jolt have you really understand it now while i have repeated that a bunch of times?
How do u get the highlighted answer?
the denom was just turned around you can do this by multiplying the denom with -1
(1+2x+x^2) / 1-x^2
@civic jolt
Like this?
@civic jolt so
- multiply 2/(x-1) by -1
- multiply -1/1 by (1-x)
- add the numerators
- simplify
@upper karma it would be D im pretty sure because the perpendicular restriction rules out A and C, and the congruent restriction rules out B
how does it rule out b
it doesn't
so kite works right? because every rhimbus is a kite
oh lol true i just looked up the definition im small brain
the question asks for the most restrictive class though so idk
ok kite
Which angles are you given?
@upper karma None of them, that's the funny part
also, are rulers expensive where you live?
@upper karma Haha, funny xd
It should be done just by calculation, not by a ruler
Already calculated it
what makes you think it's 80?

@vital plank १०० है
but then n would be 100
Exactly
also, what makes you think angle CDE is the same as angle CED?
Radius
It's an isosceles triangle
x=m
Since you dont know the theorem
Those two triangles are congruent
you don't know that
I can deduce such
Oof
is "x = m" now?
CE=CD
same radius, same thing
Yes
What?
hint: ||vertical angles||
@vital plank well?
No it's 100
good
ARC BC will directly correspond to angle BCE
As c is the center
If the the vertex is touching the circumference
arc BC?
Be
Bc is not an arc
Typo
If the the vertex is touching the circumference
@soft gulch then the angle would be half the direct correspondence
ohh right, i literally wrote it down then forgot
And u can do law of sines or law of cosines for the last side
quick question: why do you to have sin(-1) after you fin the result of a law of sines equation
?
So you have
sin(B) = 0.7614
But you don't want sin(B), you just want B
So in order to take the sin off, you have to inverse sin both sides
thanks that makes sense
how was my instructor able to do this
arent you supposed to multiply the entire equation on the right side by 20.25? he only did it to the numerator
Multiply both sides by 20.5
but why did he only multiply the numerator by 20.25
$\frac{\sin(C)}{20.25}20.5 = \frac{\sin(29)}{12.8}20.5$
That's me multiplying both sides by 20.5
Maybe I should TeX that haha. 1 sec
ok, if it becomes (sin(29)/12.8)20.5, then wouldnt the product of that equal: sin(29) * 20.25 / 12.8 *20.25 because its in one bracket
Kaynex:
Okay haha. THAT'S after the multiplication by 20.5. That's a legal move.
Now, I hope you can see that, on the left, the 20.5 just cancels
yea that I get
Therein why we did it in the first place
On the right, you can put the 20.5 onto the numerator. That's the same thing.
$\frac{20.5}{12.8}\sin(29)$
Kaynex:
That's a legal answer too. It even looks pretty!
the thing is i would accept that, but I did another question by multiplying the right side's numerator and denominator and I got the right answer
this is what I did with another question, on step 3, i mulitplied the left side by 3
but on this question if i did that, according the teacher, i would get a wrong answer
And you did, lol
yea lol i know but why did it work for that equation and not this one
,w 3sin(50 degrees)/2.5
It didn't, you got the wrong answer
wait what
There's a cheaty way to think of this:
If something is in the denominator, it can be moved to the numerator of the other side.
Likewise, if something is in the numerator, it can be moved to the denominator of the other side
how??? if you do sin-1(0.3053), you get 17, which is the answer for angle B in this triangle:
so i got the wrong answer in the equation but the right answer for the angle?
I don't know what info you started with
I'm going to guess that you accidentally used your answer to get the other answers, and thus constructed a working triangle, but the incorrect one.
this was the starting one
,calc sin(50 degrees)/2.5
Result:
0.30641777724759
,calc sin(113 degrees)/3
Result:
0.30683495115081
,calc sin(17 degrees)/1
Result:
0.29237170472274
oh i get this now, i remember how a number as a whole is a fraction so 3 would be 3/1
Huh, grats it does obey the sin law everywhere
the previous answer?
Your triangle
i only figured out the 17 part so far but i guess that wouldve let to other parts too
wow i dont how i missed this
its because theres two possible answers
thats literally what the lesson was about and it went over my head
thats why i got 0.3053 and the robot said 0.9
i got triangle 1s answer, robot got triangles 2s answer
thanks for your help
Hello i neeed help can someone help me
Maybe
i cant figure out how to do C)
i tried doing solving the big triangle first but got the wrong values
Use law of sines to find the top angle of the combined triangle
U have the 25 10.5 degree pair so use that to complete the 66 pair
Then use 180 degrees in a triangle to find angle y
@light star
Since the medium triangle is isosceles, the angle next to angle x is equal to angle y
Since they make a 180 degree angle together, angle x is equal to 180 minus angle y
yea i did the first 3 steps, but i got the wrong answer
text book said Y was equal to 18 degrees, I got 28(steps shown in the other pic)
wouldnt it be the same if I did the same equation but B and C instead of A and B?
sin B / 66 = sin 10.5 / 25
Well the top angle isn’t y tho
After you find the top angle, you still need to find y
then i get 180 - 28.68 - 10.5 = 140.82 which is impossible, how can angle Y which is clearly acute be obtuse
The calculator will show 28 because the angle is 90+28
@light star
The top angle is 118
where did you get 90 from
i remember hearing about something like that from my teacher
but if its 118, then angle y is: 180 - 118 - 10.5 = 51.5
right?
yea but didnt you say its 118, not 110?
but the textbook says y is 18 degrees 😦
Probs a mistake in calculations I’ll go over them again
Oh wait I see problem
When dealing with ssa triangle, it’s either the given angle or 180-the angle
Since using sin rule gets us 28, we do 180-28 which equals 152
And 152 fits and gets 18 as the right answer
Sorry it took me a while haven’t done this or any math in a while lmao
@light star
where does 152 fit
Rip
lol
@upper karma thank you so much but i figured it out thank you again
Cool
152 is the top angle
Translation and stretch
wa.......
For x and y axes at least
Nvm its just for your specific case i can see how that sounds confusing
But yeah here you're translating and then dilating
Not really geometry or trig
I can’t tell but is that cone a hole in the thing? Or are we solving for the cone ;-;?
any1 know the formula for surface area and volume for a regular heptagonal pyramid?
google is ur friend @strange laurel
i couldn't find the formula it only showed for hexagonal and pentagons lol
which is why im here 😦
u obviously didnt search hard enough
so im not gonna help u
@strange laurel thats all im gonna help u with
nvm
thats hexagon
RIP
@strange laurel
this? im not sure if its 100% accurate but i found this
heres the website for it
18
$1+1 \neq ?$
ramonov:
i love trig functions
lol
anyone know how to solve this? I figured out C I think, but got stuck trying to find A and B
Do you know Circle Theorems? It should be pretty easy to find a and b, and with the values of a and b you can compute c. I don't know how you found c though.
Ill check out the circle theorems right now, thanks
c is kinda long
This is a graphic, simple and memorable way to remember the difference from a chord or a tangent or a segments and sectors! I made this after struggling to understand it myself, once i got to grips with it i decided to help others who were also stuck.. so this video was create...
the process of c is: knowing a and b, get the third angle value of that triangle by the sum of angle's theorem. And as they are both angles congruent, it should be the value for c
well not really long lol
but yeah
@oak shale
@oak shale how did you found c?
the process of c is: knowing a and b, get the third angle value of that triangle by the sum of angle's theorem. And as they are both angles congruent, it should be the value for c
@upper karma .
idk i usually use some really flawed math and i think i thought that the angle next to C was 42
so ijust did 180-42 = 138
idk if its correct tho
,w 21+42+c=180
c is 117
@oak shale look at my comment
the process of c is: knowing a and b, get the third angle value of that triangle by the sum of angle's theorem. And as they are both angles congruent, it should be the value for c
@upper karma .
all of the angles from a triangle need to add up to 180
good job repeting what i said xD
"triangle angle sum theorem"
breh
which is basically that

,w 21+42+c=180
@upper karma .
i love these cat emotes
lol
I mean it's just basic stuff. If you know those theorems, it will be much easier to solve problems like these.
um
@upper karma ?
lol it's ok
Can u help me with probability?
Probability is not my strong suit, sorry.
You can ask in #probability-statistics
or #❓how-to-get-help-* channels
When you rotate a square, does the orientation of the figure stay the same?
what?
no
it's now oriented to the right (or to the left)
you meant "shape", right?
not "figure"
this is more of a philosophical question
"if you rotate a circle does it really change its orientation?"
but I mean, if you rotate any shape, it does change its orientation
if you rotate a square that was "pointing" up, by 90 degrees to the right (clockwise), it's now "pointing" right
you can tell by the corners of the square
Do the orientation of the vertices change in a rotation?
🤔
@pearl lava https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzWMGnvkF0
this guy says nah
and your question has a negative in there, so then its "true"
"true" as in "that's right, the orientation of the figure does not change"
So a square would be an exception?
Aight I need some help
very strange problem
I can do everything besides the last condition
🐣
Let me post this in #probability-statistics
wait oops nevermind i didnt read the first part
so for the first digit we can have { 2, 2, 3, 3, 5 } = 5 options. For the second digit 5-1 = 4 options. For the third 4-1+2 = 5 options. For the fourth 4 options, fifth 3 options, 6th 2 options and for the 7th 1 option. So the number of possibilities is 5 x 4 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 = 2400. So the probability is 1/2400.
@lavish umbra
No problem !
@lavish umbra Wait can you use the digits more than once?
Actually nevermind it wouldnt make sense to say "2,2,3,3"
Yeah
Sorry 😄
True or false: if sinA is positive, then sin A/2 is positive as well.
idk how to solve this
I tried indicating the range
using A = 90 for example
I solve for sin A/2 and it's always positive
draw it on a unit circle
how?
Have the answer from the key, just confused on how to get there.
@molten holly
@molten holly Idk why "smaller" segment. But the area of a segment is basically area of sector - area of the triangle determined by the radii. Since the angle is 60 degrees, the area of the triangle is $r^2\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} $ ( properties of equilateral triangles ). The area of the sector is just that formula with angle = 60 degrees.
DanCastan:
why did you write 12?
it was meant for @molten holly
lmao
but for your problem, do you see the area marked in blue?
this entire half is 180 deg
if you split it in half, 90 degrees is pointing straight up
so do you see where the green "sin" line would end up?
straight up
x^2+y^2+6x-24=8y
how would I convert this into a standard equation of a circle?
uh
@viscid ginkgo and since it ranges from zero to "whatever the radius is"
let's say... 12
from 0 to 12
but it can be any number
on the unit circle it's usually 1
damn, it really has been a while since I did equation of a circle...
the radius is 1
let me tryu
anyway, A/2 will always be positive
yep
True or false: if sinA is positive, then sin A/2 is positive as well.
@viscid ginkgo
it's "true"
^
@oak shale the standard form of the equation of a circle is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r. It's just basically completing the square in terms of x and y.
book says false
It's false. A = 361 degrees is a counter.
361 degrees = 1 degree
361 huh? that's interesting
same spot
Does A have a domain restriction?
no
361 degrees = 1 degree
Sure, but 361/2 degrees does not coinicide with 0.5 degrees, right?
it does, yes
Wait, really?
but the condition was sin A is positive. why choose A > 180
@wooden current sin(361 deg) > 0
sin(361) = sin(1)
Yes, I agree with sin(361 deg) = sin(1 deg).
(x+3)² + (y - 4)² = 24
Wait...
Is the statement sin(A) positive implies sin(A/2) positive, or sin(A) positive implies sin(A)/2 positive?
first i think
I interpreted it as the former, yeah.

it does, yes
Ok, clarification needed.
where are the parantheses
sorry
Or it does as in it doesn't coincide?
I thought it was obvious because of half angle etc
it's ok
it seems sin (361/2) = +?
maybe you can use the fact that sin(A/2) = $\pm\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{2}}$
361/2 degrees = 180.5 degrees, which does not coincide with 0.5 degrees is my reasoning.
DanCastan:
?
yes I got a positive answer for 361
it seems sin (361/2) = +?
No, it's negative, because 361/2 degrees is 180.5 degrees is below the x-axis.
Right?
,w sin(180.5) = sin(0.5) in degrees
hmm
I get a positive answer on my calc. I think what I have to do
is apply a negative?
but if it's in Q1
then it's positive?
wait
so is everyone else as confused as I am?
I'm confused with what the problem with my counterexample would be.
hmm 361 = 180.5
