@calm umbra Sorry for delay, had to try and walk my dog really quick. I’m reading through your response now. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
@calm umbra
Ok, just to clarify:
User presses (not holds down) the RIGHT ARROW KEY:
- Set the player vertical velocity to (some value) ---- velocity.y = some value
- Calculate the horizontal velocity based on the information we have.
- Gravity is applied to the vertical velocity by some constant --- velocity.y += gravity
(NOTE: in computer graphics the origin of everything position on the screen is at the top left corner of the screen. So, moving down the screen increases the y position, and moving up decreases the y position)
Edit: Still finishing comment
Horizontal velocity has no acceleration component
Correct
So horizontal distance is xy*t
Here, what are the variables? I get time, but not sure about the xy or if it was a typo.
Set d = to that xy*t and you can solve for the horizontal velocity needed to clear thay distance in one jump
My bad
Typi
I just wass using your nomenclature
I would just call it x
And i made a typo i meant vx
Or xv whichever you had said
x is initial horizontal velocity
Im assuming you get all your x velocity right there at time of jump
Yes, the x velocity is calculated at the time of the jump.
So you are solving
D = x*t
Where t is the time it takes to land after jumping
D is the distance you want to clear
Oh, ok I see.
So, question about calculating the time of the jump as you mentioned above:
Once I have solved for t (time) using this formula:
t = vy / g
where t = time, vy = vertical velocity, and g = gravity
This tells me the time the jump lasted?
I rearranged the formula:
y = (vy - g*t) * t
to
t = vy / g
where y = y position
@calm umbra Thanks for your help, I believe I got it working 👍

Can someone explain what "tan" is?
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
tangent (tan for short) is a type of trigonometric function that relates the opposite side of an angle with the side adjacent to the angle in a right angled triangle
Consider this triangle
The opposite side to the angle and adjacent side of the angle can related through a trigonometric ratio
tan A = (opposite side length) / (adjacent side length)
What is really cool about this ratio is that firstly, it is also equal to sin A / cos A
And secondly, we can isolate for a certain value we want to find:
Let's say we want to figure out the angle; we can simply do:
tan A = (opposite side length) / (adjacent side length)
**A **= tan ^-1( (opposite side length) / (adjacent side length) )
Note: tan^-1(x) is just the inverse of the tan function, or arctan
Similarly, if we wanted to find a certain side, we can isolate for that particular value:
tan A = (opposite side length) / (adjacent side length)
opposite side length = (adjacent side length) * tan A
tan A = (opposite side length) / (adjacent side length)
adjacent side length = (opposite side length) / tan A

i dont understand whats wrong with my solution:
So we label AE as y. Since AECF is a parallelogram, we have AF = 4sqrt13 and since EFHC is a rectangle, we have FH= 4sqrt13. This gives us AH = 8sqrt13. Since EF is the perpendicular bisector of AH, we also get that AEF and EFH as right triangles. Since EF = sqrt(y^2-208) and FH = 4sqrt13, we have EH = y. Now we can solve for y, as AEH is a right triangle with legs as y and y. This means that y*sqrt(2)= 8sqrt13 giving us y=4sqrt26. We also get DF = 2sqrt26 and AD = 2sqrt26 as they are 45-45-90 triangle. Angle DFH is 135 because AFD is 45. Finishing using LOC, we get DH = 2sqrt130.
why is this incorrect?
i am confuzled
Need help with Geometry dm
@agile socket The period is 2pi because since there is no horizontal stretch/compression, the period does not change from its parent function cos(theta)
The period of a sinusoidal function is affected by the horizontal stretch / compression and the amplitude is affected by the vertical stretch / compression
Corresponding angles have to be equivalent for the lines to be parallel
if an angle is supplementary, it just means that angle that is paired with another, resulting in a 180 degree angle
So it’s no?
Should be false yes
Lanes full atm

Is this a test @dapper bronze
No it’s a study guide
Okay
problem
??
the converse is just reversing logic

please help 🙏
For example, "if its raining its wet today" has a converse of the following: "if its wet today then its raining"
Aboo can we go to a different channel

@hollow raven Thanks
np
Don't worry diego, im wrapping up
if a triangle is a right angled triangle then a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Okay thanks
The converse in this case would be "If a^2 + b^2 = c^2, then the triangle is a right angled triangle", its like reversing the order of logic
@upper karma I don't get where "H" is supposed to be
Is that understandable? @dapper bronze
it's not on AF
af is a line
"the foot of the perpendicular from C to AF"
what does that even mean?
So would D be the right answer aboo?
Yeah diego
how is this related to trig?
Geometry
Well if today is thursday
and sam has wild cat mash for lunch when its thursday...
What can we conclude about what is going to happen today (Thursday)?
A?
yeah, it's probably a
Should be 😃
That’s not an option
hey @upper karma i asked the person he said it basically means where line AF intersects line CH such that they r perp
@dapper bronze you want other people to just give you the answers?
No I want to know understand the study guide and know I’m studying the right stuff
Help the poor guy out
Ur teaching me unlike the websites was my point
Can someone fact check me
Well, the angles equal to 70 degrees have to be corresponding or opposite to that angle or any related angles
I feel I messed up number 11
Bob go to a dif channel

oh ok
So angle 5?
I think 6
Not just 5, consider all the angles that correspond with related angles too
Also do i solve question 12 the same as 11
Oh only 5
5,6,7?
5 and 7 dont make an F shape, nor are they opposite, they are supplementary to the 70 degrees angle
Try and experiment with other angles; what angles make an "F" shape with 70 degrees?
Lemme go see
Nvm it says lateral not surface, lol 5head
Given that E(-3, -3) and F(9, -15), find the length of EF. (Leave your answer in radical form.)
Your answer should be typed like the following example. \sqrt{3}
3
or root(3)
The length of EF is
hurry
4?
Uh, why the rush?
You dont need midpoint
ok
You can just use the distance formula
ok
distance = sqrt((y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2)
ok thank you
2?
can you put the decimal in radical form??
Nope 👀
Jeesh 2,6,1?
Okay, what you have to see is that < 3 makes a F (corresponding) angle with 70 degrees
x2 and x1 are just the x values
so if you have (3, 4) and (5,6), x2 = 5, and x1 = 3
can i add you to a call aboo
and y2 = 6 and y1 = 4
Ohhhhhhh 2,6,3??
its ok im screen shearing\
Alr thanks
HI can someone PLEASE HELP! I have been asking for the past 3 hours and no one has responded!

@hollow raven
No aboo was helping them earlier
draw a diagram,
apply definition of bisect
^
for whom?
@upper karma the question is sort of weird, how does <CEF = 90
something like this
you can adjust it to fit the reqs
this is my full messy diagram
How would that be possible if AE = CF
Oh like that
yeah
hold on lemme just experiment a bit
k
Help??
Hey @hollow raven how far r u?
i have to go now, is it possible you can DM me where i screwed up?
thanks 🙂
can we get some help in math
Could someone explain to me the process of simplifying this function after cos and sin is found?
Simplifying the fractions has got me tripped up but I have 3(sqrt2/2) - 5(sqrt2/2)
@pseudo pumice easy one second
Simplifying the fractions has got me tripped up but I have 3(sqrt2/2) - 5(sqrt2/2)
@pseudo pumice what is 3 times sqrt2/2?
What if I gave you
3x - 5x?
...-2x
Of course! But in this case, I just used x to represent √2 / 2
So you have -2(√2 / 2)
oh that makes sense
Or, yes you can add them as fractions. Two different ways to do
didnt even click like that
First graph got me confused here
absolute value of a reciprocal sinusoidal, but how do I start
- Discs of radius 4 cm are cut from a rectangular plastic sheet of length 84 cm and width 24 cm.
a) How many complete discs can be cut out?
P.S I got 30 complete discs as the answer,but just wanted to make sure.
I think that might be wrong I just did LxW to get area of sheet and got 2016cm^2 minus total area you can get from discs which would be 3.14x4^2=50.24? 2016/50.24=40.12 so total complete would be 40 I think
I thought 8 by 8 square is equaled to 1 circle,since the diameter of the circle is 8.So it is 24 x 80/ 8x8=30??
24 x 80/8x8 is equal to 30
8 x 8 what is equal to 30
This problem gives you the area of the plastic sheet, then you have to use the formula Pi x r^2 to find the area of the disc in order to subtract how many you can fit in the sheet
Oh ok thanks a lot,that makes more sense.
oh, hi guys. i wanted to ask how can i demonstrate the area of a trapeze? i know the formula, just the demonstration.
i think it is pretty easy, but i have a math project at geometry and i cant find any demonstration on the internet 
split into rectangle and triangles
oh yeah, thx.
any idea on how to do this?
i think its impossible
same
yea its on of the types of questions where humanity would've ended by the time its solved
sin(theta) = y/r
so y=4, r =5 => x=3
sin(2theta) = 2sin(theta)cos(theta)
=2(y/r)(x/r)
=2xy/r^2
how does x = 3
ok so do i plug in 20?
yeah for the first one
that's 2 times theta
hello ! I need help plz
so 2 times theta is sin20
oh im dumb
you dont have any way shape or form of finding an exact value of sin(20) given sin(theta)=.8
let ABC be a triangle, B 'the foot of the height resulting from B, and C' the foot of the height resulting from C. Let Delta be the interior bisector of the angle A. Show that there exists a real lambda such that the indirect similarity f = hA, lambda s delta satisfies F (B) = B 'and F (C) = C'
Let H be the orthocent of ABC. Prove that f ^ -1 (H) is on the circle around ABC. what is this point?
so there's no answe?
there is
but there is no shape or form of finding an exact value
you're looking for sin(2theta) right?
yeah
do you know the double angle formula?
no
Well that's the problem lol
sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) for all x
You can find sin(theta) and cos(theta) based on the fact sin(theta) = 4/5
I'm trying to prove that cos^2xcsc^2x+cos^2xsec^2x=csc^2x and I'm honestly stuck.
So far I've changed the cos^2x to 1-sin^2x and expanded the equation, but from there I'm not sure where to go.
yes you are.
I don't understand why BX/XC is necessarily equal to BY/YC
If anyone can help it'd be much appreciated
Because the correct answer is E
i was joking lol
what is it then
What's with these names
what?
bro why you gotta roast me like that
yeah
Lol my problem is just ignored :((
yours requires more brainpower lol I'm running on low sleep I'll take a look afterwards
XD sure thanks
@hidden oak whats mine
you tell me
i was thinking none of these
looks correct to me
I would also choose none
seems like it
my brain still doesnt want to work lmfao but @wintry harbor what have you tried for yours
@wintry harbor
Yes
I know why A, C, D are necessarily equal to BY/YC
But there's only one correct option
So it's either B or E, and I think B is wrong (i.e. it is the correct option since the ratios are not necessarily equal) but Idk about E
By the angle bisector theorem it's the same as AB/AC
so if BC is 12, BY and YC are both what?
And also the same as area(ABY)/area(AYC) and area(XBY)/(XYC)
so if BC is 12, BY and YC are both what?
@upper karma Doesn't that depend on where A is
bisector means it splits it in half
therefore, BY = YC
Im not sure what this is asking?
But it's the angle bisector not the median
Im not sure what this is asking?
@blissful horizon If by 'line' you mean it needs to be defined by two letters then KH
It's asking for line of symmetry basically
sooo...
Obviously there's the straight vertical one down the middle as well but there are no points to specify that
so im still confused?
sooo...
@blissful horizon So it needs to be a line of symmetry of both the hexagon and the square
ok then...
The square only has 4, you only need to consider 2 because of rotational symmetry but ignore that if you didn't understand
Yes but those won't all be lines of symmetry of the square
oh so what if it was of the square
It needs to be for both
any of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the square
Yes
And you find FG satisfies that
Also consider the diagonals
Then you find KH is also a line of symmetry
And you find FG satisfies that
@wintry harbor Not FG, perpendicular bisector of FG
ok thanks
XD
Can someone help me out on questions 18-29
umm is there anyone that can help with it?? <@&286206848099549185>
If the line between the midpoints of the 2 sides is parallel to the other side, then it's half the length iirc
so if 16 is parallel to x then x would be 8?
for 18, yes
wait for 19 would AC be 8 then?
whats that
its homework

ΔDEF rotates 90° clockwise about point A to create ΔD 'E 'F. Therefore, which equation must be true?
<@&286206848099549185>
which of these?
help please
Rotation is a type of transformation refered to a in which the shape of the original object is preserved and the angle of rotation is constanf for all the parts of the body.
Thus, when ΔDEF rotates 90° clockwise about point A to create ΔD 'E 'F.
m∠EAE ' = m∠FAF

thank you
one more question I a realy strugling with it
The vertices of polygon ABCD are at A(1, 1), B(2, 3), C(3, 2), and D(2, 1). ABCD is reflected across the x-axis and translated 2 units up to form polygon A′B′C′D′. Match each vertex of polygon A′B′C′D′ to its coordinates.
what is A'B'C'D' new points?
Hello
How would you go about solving these ( i know the answers but i just want to know the method)
The coordinates of image are A'(1,1), B'(2,-1), C'(3,0) and D'(2,1).
@blissful horizon
oof I tried my best and submitted thanks anyways @winter smelt
Since T is the midpoint of those segments, then QT=TS and PT=TR, which means RST and PQT are similar triangles
@unkempt heron so what would be the reason for QT = TS and PT = TR
T is the midpoint of QS and PR, and thus the distance from the midpoint to one endpoint is equal to the distance from the midpoint to the other endpoint
is anyone else able to help me <@&286206848099549185> please
Where is your question?
What have you tried?
What is this??
Write angle symbol where you mean angles
"?????????
How do you know angle PQT=angle RST?
i dont know
thats what im guessing
because i dont know how to do it
you asked for what i tried thats my guess
Well, that's wrong
Angle PTQ=angle STR(Vertically opposite angles)
alright ty bro
can someone help with my trig hw
@fallow bluff if you post a question you're stuck with then someone can help
but no one will do your hw for you as a caveat
Given b, h, θ, is this triangle solvable?
I think, it should be possible to find, c, with θ and h
nvm, noticed i can get all the angles pretty easily
90 + θ + C = 180, then I can find c, and then I have c, b, h and θ.
Which is more than enuf to use cosine or sine rule or something with
does anyone have a good video on trig identities
I missed class on that chapter and can't make out anything ։(
Maybe you can find a cheatsheet on Internet
do you have specific examples where you're stuck?
@half ingot i know a good video on youtube
I would appreciate it if you could share it with me @fresh monolith
@silent plank I found a cheat sheet but how do I apply them to this problem
My professor goes so fast
recognise the compound angle identity for cosine
We do a new chapter every fime, I can't keep up
ur familiar with unit circle right?
$\cos(\frac{\pi}{15})\cos(\frac{\pi}{10}) - \sin(\frac{\pi}{15})\sin(\frac{\pi}{10})$ is in the form: \
$\cos(A)\cos(B) - \sin(A)\sin(B)$
yes I know the unit circle
ramonov:
Oh
also try to keep your name hidden when cropping screenshots
the trig identity video is just basic understanding them and using algebra to simplify them
ramonov:
@somber coyote can this be done for without a calculator
maybe this is more advanced than that?
yes, it is intended to be done without a calculator
Ok let me try solving again, this gave me a better perceptive
So my first thought is to convert the radians into degrees
Because I can find the exact values if I know the angle in degree mode
Is this fine?
was that double angle formula @silent plank ?
compound
you don't need to explicitly get the numerical value
also if you can be bothered to convert to degrees, learn the exact values for special angles/radians in radians
bad notation
Fair, but am I going in the right direction?
also if you can be bothered to convert to degrees, learn the exact values for special angles/radians in radians
@silent plank ok I'll memorize this over the weekend
the right side is the expanded form of the cos of a compound angle
what tablet are you using
$\cos(\frac{\pi}{15})\cos(\frac{\pi}{10}) - \sin(\frac{\pi}{15})\sin(\frac{\pi}{10})$ is in the form: \
$\cos(A)\cos(B) - \sin(A)\sin(B)$ \
and you should have access to a list of identities, one of which will be:
$$\cos(A + B) = \cos(A)\cos(B) - \sin(A)\sin(B)$$
ramonov:
oof, I didn't have that identity in my cheat sheet
Alright I will go and watch the video
can you show me your cheat sheet
i gave u links to two youtube channels that helped me get through this stuff
is extremely bad, none of those things are equal to each other
i gave u links to two youtube channels that helped me get through this stuff
@fresh monolith thank you so much man
no problem u cn also look up double angle compound angles on youtube
simplifying trig identities etc
yeah I usually don't know what to search on youtube 😭
If I know what I need I can get by
usually just look up the chapter section you are on
if you insist, you could write:
$$\blue{\cos} \br{\frac{\pi}{3} \cdot \frac{180 \red{\deg}}{\pi} } = \blue{\cos}(60\deg) = \frac12$$
ramonov:
this is converting between radians and degrees right?
its been a few months since looking at this stuff
and the degree symbol when multiplying by 180°/pi

@storm harness the pre-university section is for high school
so you're fine to ask questions
@humble pulsar
if it's vectors then pairs of sides need to be parallel, and diagonals are perpendicular iirc
well if you plot the points, you can see what vectors need to be parallel

yeah
so what's the problem?
yeah
and i should have the equation
yeah
Normal equation of planes: n.x=n.p for the normal vector n, co-ordinate vector x, point vector p
the order of translation and reflection shouldn't matter right?
like if i were to reflect and translate a triangle
I should end up with the same if I perform a translation first then a reflection
as if I were to reflect then translate
Why wouldn’t it matter
Hey
Guys
I need help
I was absent yesterday and I don't know how to do side angle side

@delicate laurel the triangles end up at different positions, so the sequence does matter! on a side note, unless the question specifies the order of the transformations, always do Dilation, then Reflection, then Translation (DRT). at least that’s what i’ve been told at school, not sure if it’s the same for your curriculum :)
@mighty egret is that triangle congruency ?
Need Help With Two Column Proofs
Yes thx
@silent rover can you please help me?
@final isle im really bad at proofs tho :(
what other equalities can you derive from the given statements?
also please dont post the same question in several channels
PTQ and STR are vertical angles, the length of the collinear of T to SR is the same as T to PQ
@civic fiber too late?
So adjacent angles change with opposite angles based on where the given angle is in right triangle or are they always defined in one spot
,rccw
consider: $\overrightarrow{OB} = \overrightarrow{OA} + \overrightarrow{OC}$
Ann:
So like you have 3 different vectors, so you have to find a way to express all of the 3 vectors on a single one
if you aren't able to justify it with a simple 1 line explanation, you shouldn't make the assumption.
nyk0 they're all true
do you know what they're asking you for
like what all the symbols mean
@upper karma
are they all true?
alright guys
so
ive been
basically winging math
since like 7th grade lmao ]
and i could learn everything else somewhere else
but im not understanding trig at all
so
in ABC the measure of c=90. the measure of a=57, and ca=2.6 feet. find the length of bc to the nearest tenth of a foot
this makes no fucking sense to me
at all
i think this is trig
maybe
ik were like breaking into it
oh wait itis trig
jeez i just filled chat
in ABC the measure of c=90. the measure of a=57, and ca=2.6 feet. find the length of bc to the nearest tenth of a foot
@inland canyon c=90 and a=57, these two are the angles at vertex c and a respectively right?
@cinder nacelle lol what’d you sent ?
i’m in bed and i’m too lazy to get up and do the working out, so i’ll try to explain it over text, is that okay ?
Sure
Yes
yes, later. because you don’t have the value of CPD yet
do you know how to find CPD?
to find the value of x, you need 3x+58 to equal to something, so you can solve for x. rn it’s just an expression, so u can’t solve for x
look at DPC
and the given angles
hint: it’s one angle take away another angle
do you know which angles?
Idk what to do now
remember how i said you can’t solve for x if it doesn’t equal to something and it’s just an expression, can you find something that’s equal to 3x-25 and let it equal to that?
X+29?
yup, because APB = DPC (given)
yup
So x=27
yup
And now I just plug in
yes
@silent rover so 162?
@cinder nacelle did you plug it into BPD?
yup i got the same
you can either do APB + BPC + CPD or APB + BPD
@cinder nacelle you can always look at the solutions, but diagrams are not drawn to scale most of the time, so you can’t look at the diagram and approximate the angle. there are formulas(cos rule and sin rule) you can use to check if the angles are right, but that’s if the lengths of the lines are given. other than that, the only way is to plug x into APB and DPC and see if they equal to each other like what the statement says, if they do, it means you have solved for x correctly.
i realised DPC is not directly given, and DPC = BPD- BPC, therefore you should plug x into that and APB, and see if the values are the same
because an expression for DPC is not given
the only thing said about DPC in the question is that it equals to APB
but you can’t solve APB = APB right? cuz you’re gonna get 0=0 for your answer, which tells you nothing
@torpid thorn have you tried plotting H onto a cartesian plane? or visualising where it would be on the graph?
@torpid thorn there’s a quicker way
7 units right moves the graph in the positive direction of x
there for -3+7 will be the new x coordinate
6 units up moves the graph in the positive y direction
therefore -4+6 will be the new y coordinate
yes it is
it’s 4, not -4
i did not
that’s for y
(-3+7, -4+6)
^that should be the answer for the new coordinate
that’s good :) it always make more sense if you graph it, especially if you’re just learning transformations :)
@inland canyon have you leanrt about sin, cos, tan
ik like
did i do this correctly
sin = the opposite side of the angle and the hypotenuse
cosine = the adjacent side of the angle and the hypotenuse
tangent = the side opposite to the angle and the side adjacent to the angle
@lunar sand it should be 1/((root 3)* i)
ah
as in, 1 should be on top of what u got
do you need to have a rational denominator? i.e. the denominator cant be a surd
@inland canyon thats right
SOH CAH TOA
teacher just told me to solve it, so anything goes ig
ye
thats what that shit is called
like
in the video
she showed how to get an angle
thats it
but rather than 'and', it should be over, as in sin(x) = O/H, cos(x) = A/H, tan(x) = O/A
i knew that bit was just like
did the video show u this?
like the example is like "in the figure below find the value of c, round your answer to the nearest tenth"
so its showing how to get the hypotenuse
do you know what rule u should use for the question?
yours
nope
the one that u sent
no idea at all
i just now i gotta find the length
but idk how to find that length
sorry, just another quick question, whats the differnce between these 2
or is it the same thing
the i is in the square root
oh lmao
@lunar sand the top one is 5 x root 3 i
the bottom one is root 3 i to the power of 1/5
@inland canyon so you're trying to find BC, do you know if BC is represented by O(opposite), A(adjacent) or H(hypotenuse)
@lunar sand yup
yup
but dont 2 rules work with opposite?
so from the three formulas, the one that doesnt have O needs to go, because u cant find O
yup
the one with o??
so from the remaining two rules, which is sin and tan, one has H and one has A
yes lol, cant be bothered typing opposite, adjacent
ok so
the side im looking for
is opposite to the angle
so we get rid of the rules that deal with opposite?
nono
ok i didnt think so
u get rid of the rules that doesnt deal with opposite
thats why i was confused
because then, u cant find opposite
oh oh oh so we get rid of cos?
yup
ok go back to what u where saying
ahh yessir
the remaining two rules, one deals with H and the other one deals with A
both deals with O
yes
yes
what other information can u get from the diagram? hint: the length of one side is given, what side is that?
no idea
wait
would it be
adjacent
to the angle
so i would use the tangent formula thingy
alright
and i do that like
57/2.6
i feel like thats really wrong
jiaineedmorehelplol
ahahaha it is lol but it’s okay i gotchu
ye man im honestly horrible at math sorry about that
so wouldnt that be like x / 2.6
u said you were winging it all throughout school but you pick things up quick i didn’t even have to do that much explaination and u already understand it
you’ll need your calculator for this btw
im a quick learner i just dont like learning to much about certain things
ight
can i use like the standard windows 10 computer
calculator
you’ll need one where u can calculate angles
x is the angle given in the question, x=57
idk if windows 10 calculator can do that or not
windows 10 calculator looks kinda cute ngl
i dont think this is what im looking for is it
im looking for a layout that says like
tan and stuff
now you have the value of tan(x) and you know the value of A, do you know how to solve for O?
just the last line is relevant
try standard?
tan 57 = O / 2.6
if you transpose it to make O the subject, it would be tan (57) x 2.6
arnt we talking about o anyway
heres the image again
were talking about the opposite of 57
like side
oh shit i must have been confusing u when i said tan(x)
was x just a varible right'
like could be anything
in my situation wouldnt it be 57
but since in this question they already have x as the side, so you’re probably confused when i said tan(x)
ye ok
so once i have tan 57
i would divide by the opposite???
that doesnt sound right
u said tan 57 = opposite / 2.6
uhhh
2x2 ?
wait a min would it be 5.2
because like
wait no
im thinking like
30-60-90 triangle
so is 2x2 right tho lmao
wait wait
^that wasn’t a triangle question
just a normal algebra question that asks u to solve for y
y would be 5 x 2
ohlol
oh ight i get that
so like
lemme reask rq
u said tan 57 = opposite / 2.6?
correct
yes
no
bruhwhatthefuck
so how the fuck do i get the opposite cuz thats what im trying to get
k ind a
opposite is tan 57 multilplied by 2.6
ohlol
but do you get why it’s that ?
yes that
honestly i dont need to know why i just need to know how 😔
ok
lemme like
do that rq tho
u need to know basic algebra for a lot of these questions
my calculator is dead, can u show me what u got on the calc?
the purple is just cuz like
i have my windows 10 set to purple and i highlighed it
@inland canyon yup
this is like the first time ive actually kinda understood something math related since the 7th grade lmao
can we try 1 more since like
i kinda understand what todo now
or like are u busy atm
but dude pls understand the multiply both sides thingy lol
lol
@silent rover can u help me?
u can try it and show me your working out? just @polar rose if you’re stuck
ok
i did the next problem
andit was the same kinda thing
so it only took me like
5 seconds todo
but i got it right
@inland canyon PROUD OF YA
@trim sand wait i’ll see if i can remember anything about locus
@silent rover ok
This is the solution if it helps
If u can explain what concept they are using
@trim sand i did this for like 1 term last year and honestly i haven’t used it since, cant help sorry :(
r u a med student lol
wait no i was asking if you’re a med student ahaha
That emoji sucks

who pinged
