wait, u might actually get it wrong too cuz i know which side is right but I DONT KNOW WHY

#

so which side is right oogy booger

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

Is the whole right side 1?

#

Or just part of it

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

whole

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:31 PM

Ok

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

Look under section: Similar triangles

Similarity (geometry)

In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or if one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other. More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection. This means that either object can be rescaled, r...

#

ok i will

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

See that's the thing, I have no reason to believe the left side is wrong

#

#

#

This was my teacher and its pissing me off

#

sometimes the y is on the top, other times its on the bottom, it feels random

fierce trellis Oct 21, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

man i knew those rules i get them i was asking sbout this question

#

ohh shit

#

i get it now

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

bro pleeeease explain

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

The teacher is correct

fierce trellis Oct 21, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

boogy left again

#

boogy here

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

Listen

#

Send the picture again

#

The first one

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

Good

#

So

#

a/2

#

=

#

First part of the right side / the entire right side

#

In the picture on the left

#

It would be

#

a/2 = y/1

#

Do you understand

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

i mean yeah but whats wrong then

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

Ok if you understand

#

Tell me the ratios from the right drawing

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

i did, its below the same way

#

a/2=1-y/1

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

Why did you write 1-y

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

because a/2 = a portion of y/ all of the side

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

Tell me more

#

This doesnt explain why you wront 1-y

#

I didnt ask about a/2

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

i actually dont know why now

fierce trellis Oct 21, 2023, 5:45 PM

#

wheat pecan This doesnt explain why you wront 1-y

how dosent it explain it

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

boogy just explain why the left is wrong and the right is correct

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

Its too vague

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

pls dont drag this

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

Ok

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:46 PM

wheat pecan First part of the right side / the entire right side

Remember this

#

Ok?

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:46 PM

right

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:46 PM

Look at the left picture

ratios

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

By first part i mean the part than goes from the top of the triangle downwarda

Downdards

Downwards

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:48 PM

a/2 = y/1 cause i build a similar triangle

fierce trellis am i dumb or ary you gys way to old

18

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

lost gazelle a/2 = y/1 cause i build a similar triangle

This is correct

#

Now

#

Tell me the ratios for the second triangle

#

For the right drawing

#

Remember

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

i did

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

First part/entire part

#

Ok

#

Why is it 1-y

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

because y is not in the similar triangle

#

its just outside of the similar triangle

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

Ok

#

Write x instead of y

#

You have to understand

#

y is just a value for a side lenght

#

Its just a letter

#

The y's in the left and right drawings have nothing to do with eachother

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

right, which is why they produced similar outcomes

#

here here let me show you something real quick

#

i want to show you when the left one is right and when the right method is correct

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:57 PM

#

Listen

#

My point is

#

They are both correct

#

Again, the y's in the 2 drawings have nothing to do ith yeachother

#

In the right picture, y is the second part of the side

#

In the left picture, y is the firsr part of the side

#

As i said

#

a/2 = first part / entire side

#

For the left picture: a/2 =y/1

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

woah

#

see but in that case solving the rest of the problem will result different answers for me

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

I didnt finish

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

ok

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

For the right picture

#

:

#

a/ 2 = first part / entire part

#

Whats the entire part?

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

2

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

Wrong

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

#

these two images are examples from the teacher

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

Yes

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

it seems that y is just always sitting at the bottom

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

Wrong

#

Flip the second picture

#

The reight picure*

#

Right picture

#

You will see that y is at the top

#

And in the second picture, y is at the bottom

#

Thats why you are getting different ratios

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

Yes

#

Good

#

See?

#

Y is in different places in the 2 pictures

#

#

I flipped the picture on the right

#

To help you see that the y's are in different places

#

In the first picture:
a/1 = y/2

In the second picture:
????

#

Tell me

#

#

The yellow part is the first part

#

Which you need to use

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

I understand that the similar triangle thereom has to have a smaller triangle inside of a bigger one

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

Ok

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

and for that reason, if you set y to the top, the bottom will be the side-y/the side

#

but the thing is, the thing is, the method I choose can result in me having different answers

#

even though both make full logical sense

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

Listen

#

This is a drawing

#

#

Dont mind the text on the right

Ok?

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:11 PM

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:25 PM

but if im looking for the y part, i should look for the triangle portion which is on top right

There is no y part

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:25 PM

Thats just a part

It isnt called the y part

Its the part which you need to use

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

can i say that is equal to (1-y)/1

#

which is a portion of the side/full side

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

Yes you can

#

But now you have to explain why u said that

lost gazelle Oct 21, 2023, 6:26 PM

so what are u asking for

because y is defined outside

wheat pecan Oct 21, 2023, 6:26 PM
