that's what x and y represent...
i don't know what is represent in the image
yea
Alright so I have a test due tomorrow, and it was given to me today, I look into it today, and Its on some more advanced PRE-AP Geometry and not Normal Geometry, and i'm already struggling with normal math. Is anyone willing to help me in depth on how to do the questions?
oh
post in an open channel
This test was given to me as a saving grace by my ap in order to help me not go to summer school
ramonov but how am i supposed to do this if it a decimals
decimals are hard
to
do
u don't understand decimals has alway been my one and only weakness in math
align decimal points when adding or subtracting decimals
add trailing zeroes if needed
given the diagram above,
substitute in the labels/values being presented in your problem.
what's the external angle here?
32.9
what's the smaller arc?
ac
no
39.3
ok
that's incorrect
you calculated a value that is less than the smaller arc so its clearly wrong
show all you work
dude im trying
show all you work
ramonov isn't the arc less than 90 degreee
the arc AC? not in this case
ok
like work through the problem here
instead of going off for 15 minutes and coming back with 0 progress
dude im trying to give a better help
we do not know what is x
doesn't matter
that's why i'm saying " in terms of x and y"
if x isn't known yet, leave it as x and it will end up something you end up determining by solving the resultant equation
also not answering the question i'm asking
what's the expression for the external angle here (in terms of x and y)?
the y
oh yea
also not a number
ok
?
ramon so 32.9
so you can starting with something like: $\frac{1}{2} (x\deg - y\deg) = 32.9\deg$
ramonov:
and like you said, y° = 39.3°
yea
arcAC will be your x
sub that in
i did
what do you have now?
i have 39.3 - x = 32.9
do did you get from:
$\frac{1}{2} (x\deg - y\deg) = 32.9\deg$ where $y = 39.3\deg$ to that?
ramonov:
$\frac12 (x \deg - 39.3\deg) \wthonk 39.3\deg - x\deg$
ramonov:
i told you. we do not know what is x
if x isn't known yet, leave it as x and it will end up something you end up determining by solving the resultant equation
and that isn't what i'm even point out atm
ok
after you SUB y = 39.3°, you should have what's on the left for the left side
HOW the fk did it end up turning into 39.3° - x
not what I'm saying
ok
when you sub $y = 39.3$ into $ \frac{1}{2} (x\deg - y\deg)$ you get $\frac12 (x \deg - 39.3\deg)$ right?
ramonov:
yea
and that's all i wanted at that point
but that also begs the question of how the fuk that turned into
39.3° - x°
anyway, right now you should have:
$\frac{1}{2} (x\deg - 39.3\deg) = 32.9\deg$
ramonov:
and then solve by applying the same operations to both sides to work towards isolating your variable x
same operations to both sides
what would you be doing 39.3 +39.3?
u just told me add them both
when?
u did
where?
and then solve by applying the same operations to both sides to work towards isolating your variable x(edited)
see
what
it didn't
that didn't say anything about adding both "39.3"
ok
e.g. multiply (or divide) both sides by something to get rid of the fraction first
(would be an appropriate step towards helping isolate x)
yes that is what i implied
i thought u told me i'm not supposed to mutiple both sides
no i clearly said do the same shit to both sides
OK
eg lets start with 1 = 1
why not only multiply the left side by 3.
3= 1 is clearly true right?
wtf is happening?
i did the same as u suggestion i mutioly 39.3 x 2 and i got 78.6
that's not what i suggested
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
and i did
$2 \times \frac{1}{2} (x\deg - 39.3\deg) = 2\times 32.9\deg$
ramonov:
$2 \times \frac12 = ?$
ramonov:
you seem to have several huge misconceptions about basic algebra. we saw those earlier, and we're seeing them again now. You should go back and review your fundamentals before you do more of this
the whole reason we decided to multiply by $2$, and not any other number like $e^\pi$
ramonov:
wait if 1/2 x 2 it equal 1
don't use x for multiplication in plain text
ok
congrats @split geyser you're like the 5th person to say exactly that
probably my last time trying to "help"
ramonov what i need to do next
what do you have now?
after multiplying both sides by 2, what do you have after simplifying that step AND ONLY THAT STEP?
i have 1 and ( x - 39.3) = 78.6
wdym by you have "1 and"?
@dark sparrow I'm well aware lol. That was the "we saw those earlier". This person clearly won't listen though, so idk why I wrote it
2 * 1/2 = 1
don't use x for multiplication in plain text
don't use x for multiplication in plain text
ninja'd
did you add that to your macros?
what is a macros?
as in: $1 ( x\deg - 39.3\deg) = 78.6\deg$? \
writing the 1 there is completely unnecessary
ramonov:
and then continue to solve
by applying the same operations to both sides to work towards isolating your variable x
Ramonov if this is an linear equation i mean i solve 5 linear equation problems but right now that problem is way much harder than problem i did with linear equation
because i did word problems
that is numerical
linear equation]
so that problem is harder than ones i did before
just treat variables (that represent numbers) like any other number
i can't i on ly practice with word problems
that different than this
but i. will try
to do it
so 1 - 39.3 = 78.6
where'd the x go?
i forget the * because * is to hard for me
no like your variable x that you're trying to determine
where's the rest of it
1(x - 39.3) = 78.6
writing the 1 there is completely unnecessary
(at this stage, let him get away with it)
ok
we need to get rid of it and the parentheses to be able to continue
ok
Quick question: have you taken algebra 1?
andrew who?
You.
rewrite the equation without that unecessary 1
parentheses are also unecessary
what about x - 39.3 = 78.6
oh hi ms. M
then continue to solve by applying the same operations to both sides to work towards isolating your variable x
right now you have something like thia right?
x - 39.3 = 78.6
yea
why would you do any more multiplication
u said the same goes for side
the left side looks very close to x
both side
i mean you can multiply both sides but pi^pi if you want,but that doesn't help you isolate x
why would you divide by 2?
which just undoes what you did a step earlier
help
imma just subtract x - 39.3
what does that even mean
fine
imma just divide 39.3 by both sides
$\frac{x - 39.3}{39.3} \neq x$
ramonov:
yea
think of some WAY simpler
i need to do the same thing to 78.6
78.6 / 39.3
what could you do to:
x - 39.3to get justx?
huh?
$x - 39.3 - 39.3 \neq x$
ramonov:
i realised i may have made a few for the rhs because i copy and pasted stuff
Have you try adding 39.3 to both sides
by "close to x" i meant you only needed a simple step to get to x
such as "adding 39.3" to both sides
which is a legitimate valid step
and
oh
$x - 39.3 39.3$ does indeed equal $x$ which is what you want
$x - 39.3 + 39.3$ does indeed equal $x$ which is what you want
ramonov:
but that is 78.6
what is 78.6?
there were a few typos originally, don't know how that happened
anyway,
$\frac12 (x - 39.3) = 32.9 \
2 \times \frac12 (x - 39.3) = 2 \times 32.9 \ \
x - 39.3 = 65.8$
ramonov:
$x - 39.3 + 39.3 = 65.8 + 39.3 \ x = ~~ ?$
ramonov:
(fk was copying the incorrect value of 78.6 for the rhs for an hour)
have you taken algebra 1?
you
458.8
how?
65.8 + 39.3 = 458.8
,w 65.8 + 39.3 = 458.8
thats better
@ebon sundial im currently in algebra 1 but server put me in this channel for some reason
(x - 65.8) = 105.1
It is much better now
ok
@cedar tendon why your name is called math is so hard?
mr.tai who?
you
because math is so hard for me
@gritty tangle @gray mason come on here
?
it math is hard again doing it
huh?
lets help out ramonov real quick ms. M
Ramonov what do i do next
then you're done
Ramonov
Result:
419.5
,calc 419.5-65.8
Result:
353.7
commander vines
????
you left me yesterday
probably had to go
sure
I'm so glad that math is hard is gone for good this time the server can be at peace for right now
!
huh
you didn't tell us what you tried or where you're stuck or what's troubling you
that does not answer my first question
yes
lmao
smh
we have to find the length
of what
smh my head
this dudes questions are always so cringe worthy
your teacher must be insane
idk
find imma go to the next question
will the next question be as vague?no
Bruh
yes this is the next question
😤
Do you recall what a chord is?
i forgot

Look. What do you think a chord is? ( hint: connects something )
man
😐
lemme think
Ok
bruh
no
If you don't even try to remember and practice stuff, nobody here can help you.
@cedar tendon you are correct
@cedar tendon but not always
bruh this dude isn't learning anything smfh
@cedar tendon a chord can pass through the center, but it does not have to
I mean it's a special case
^
it can pass through the center just fine
but doesn't have to
the diameter however has to pass through the center
and the diameter is a special case of a chord
ok
you gave math the answer too easily
So their name is officially math ?
i mean
yeah whatever I get it
Would you say "MATH I GIVE UP MATH IS SO HARD"
We can't just tell you the answer without you putting effort into solving the problem
Well you are right
But it's not an option in the list
Think of another one
see
their mutiple chord
that why it is hard
to find out which one
it is
so i think gf
theres only 1 chord
math is case sensitive
yes its GF
gf is not the same as GF, but GF is indeed a chord
yes, DH is a radius
properties of a tangent
yes
im just guessing
math, is that one of the options?
from what i can see in that diagram, there is insufficient info to conclude that
there is however one angle there that is definitely 90°
!r7
When asking for help, do not insist on getting just the answer; we are here to help you learn, not cheat. Likewise, if you are providing help to others, try your best to explain and elaborate instead of simply giving away the answer.
properties of a tangent
do you know the properties of a tangent to a circle?
yea
list some
do you know anymore?
at the point of tangency it is perpendicular to the radius
ok

@upper karma inscribed angle theorem
yah the perpendicular one seemed kinda obvy
Yeah
big brain whats g
Eyey
Wait
bc they wanna trick you
Am i tripping and arc measurement isnt the same as arc length? @upper karma
arc measurement and arc lenght are different
arcm easurement is degrees
arc length is lenght
Then its not 60
Im pretty darn sure is using the sector of a circle
Yeah exactly lmao
well find the circumference of the circle
@upper karma you have r and theta
You can guess whats theta lol
30°
lmao
d/2 = r
😭
@wooden current you are right
Hello
Omg this is the first time I'm right in my entire life
😄
yes
Yeah
how do we know that 60 is the central angle degree?
bc 30 is the given angle
so 30 * 2 = 60
the arc length you calculated doesn't look right imo
ah ya i see it now
bc the circumference is 20 pi
which is about 628
and CD looks a lot less than the entire circumference
Might not be to scale
shouldn't theta be in radians ?
Hm let me see
yah i guess
Yeah thats what i was thinking
@upper karma this is why its 30 * 2
@upper karma do you know how to get angle to radians

i just guesssed
If you guess then dont expect it to be right
wait so did u put 600 as the length
,ask 60° to radians
,calc pi*10/3
Result:
10.471975511966
it was kind of a tricky question
👍
@violet sun for any y=f(x), a vertical translation of C is achieved by f(x)+C, and a horizontal translation is f(x-C)
@marsh plover yea but that is polar coordinates
not the same as cartesian coordinates
ah, true, my bad
😭
waaah
I don't know how you can translate polar functions doe
is it djl
what
sad but true story, the mathematicians in my grad program actually said "when will I ever use this"
Guys so is it djl
I was so depressed when I heard them
😦
@cedar tendon your in algebra go back to the algebra channel
no one wants you
here
you a despointment to me and dancastan
back to the polar problem
what
cart -> polar is...
so i supposed to go back to the algebra
x=rcos0
Yea
y=rsin0
@wooden current tell math to go to <@&689987404085723258> so they can answer his question
what?
but he in algebra
??????
you a despointment to me and dancastan
@ebon sundial
No need to be an asshole
What have you solved so far?
Also that's fucking geometry
Recall that the angle between a tangent to a circle and a radius of that circle intersecting that tangent is 90 degrees
but he told us he in an algebra class so why is he in this channel
God forbid someone in algebra has to do some geometry as well not everything is so cut and dry
those are just definition questions, barely counts
Yep. The radius DJ intersect tangent JL so the angle is 90 degrees
?
what am i supposed to do
ok than imma go the next question
man i don't know why we even help that guy
he should go back to algebra
he a disappointment here
GenFrogKing:
$\theta = tan^{-1}\left(\frac{y-c}{x-c}\right)$
GenFrogKing:
@ebon sundial please don't be disrespectful to other people
well what do u thinl
think
do u know what each of them mean?
Pi, arc length, radians and central angle
have u learned this stuff yet?
@cedar tendon
i think i did
i haven't learn that
and that explains why
u should learn about radians
since thats another way of measuring angles
ill find a video for u
ok
@cedar tendon Do u know what is pi, arc length and central angles tho?

@lilac thicket Hola
ok
Sure can u send it again?
@lilac thicket I'll take a look
What information does the problem give you? Is this a measuring or geometry problem?
the problem at least says it's a rectangle, right?
ya idk
working on it
cool
@upper karma Try to imagine it rotating around that axis
see what shape it produces
im failing this class
@lilac thicket Did your class learn Law of Sines?
I think I'm overthinking it
I think it creates a circle with the point furthest from the origin
when you rotate it
it definitely creates a cone
@upper karma Cone with height of 3 and base radius 5
figure out why
thats all
thank u
it was a quiz
i guessed on it
and got 70%
it was a what now?
you're not supposed to ask for help on exams, friend
you can get banned
see #❓how-to-get-help number 6
@upper karma I didnt know
im sorry
he didnt tell me
i’m sorry i didn’t know
@lilac thicket Can you please post the entire problem with the prompt?
Rip
What
Ok
Google the surface area of a cylinder
The total area , I presume
LA is lateral area, notlength area
Oh right
That's the area of the long part
Cest la vie?
yes
Que esa?
c'est la vie
Idk?
so it goes
Speak English pls
Have u searched up the formulas
So how do i find la?
Google the formula of the lateral area of a cylinder
Do you know what the area of a circle is?
Have you figured out the lateral area formula
?
It's 2 × pi × r × h
Well if u watched the video u must know the answer now
i mean i think it radian
Yes
is that right
Ya
i need help
Did you understood the videos?
yea i kinda understand it a little
i mean don't understand what the question is talking about
Learn how to convert angles from radians to degrees. Recall that pi radians is equivalent to 180 degrees. Thus, when given an angle in radians, to convert the angle to degrees we multiply the given angle radians by the ratio 180/pi.
#trigonometry #anglesintrigonometry
I’m not gonna answer it for you
Learn and try
yea
Ok what makes you confused
There’s a simple equation described in the video
Just apply that equation
And also try to understand why the equation works
It helps
ok
idk what the question is asking me to do?
Convert them to degrees
@cedar tendon So do you understand?
Recall that there are 2 Pi radians in a circle
And just multiply them by 180/Pi
To convert them to degrees
ok
This isn't chill
@upper karma hmmmmmm
is there supposed to be something at the top of that circle?
it looks like it's cropped out
do they give you angle A?
yeah, you're gonna have to eyeball it
what eyeball mean?
it means you're gonna have to judge this by simply looking at it
"throwing your eyeball on it"
"casting your eyes upon it"
lol
they only gave us 4.2
Can someone give me a hand?
do you think 8.4 and 2.1 are even close to 90 degrees?
@upper karma it 180
because that is an obtuse
does it look like a flat line?
so every obtuse angle is alway consider 180 degree
automaticlly
so it has to be 180
obtuse angles can be 120 degrees
the very definition of obtuse means >90
180 degree angles are called "straight angles"
ok
complementary angles are 0 - 90
supplementary angles are 90 - 180
0ok
ok
I guess you could say 180 is obtuse, as well
yea and the answer should be 114.6
well, it looks larger than 8.4 and 2.1 degrees, that's for sure
it's generally a bad idea to rely on these figures
because they try to trick you
but in this case...
I think that's what they want you to do (just look at it)

Yes I sent a video awhile ago too to this guy
2.25 is not an angle
On how to convert them
He should know it by now
oh 45 is the angle
i have to convert that into a degree
what is the measure of that arc?
ok
in degrees

the measure (or length) of arc YZ is... ?
so i gotta halve 180
what happens if you halve 180?
true
point X is in the center
so angle YXZ is a central angle
not an inscribed angle
did you even click the video above?
can you figure out what that arc would be if the central angle would be 45?
it's not external, no
it's inside the circle
not outside it
(that's what "external" means)
how do i find the area of a square?
@signal sky https://www.google.com/search?q=area+of+a+square
for all squares in existence?
obviously
we cant have some squares bigger than others, that would be unfair
