like a few days
btw
do u live in america or australia?
no i mean rn 💀
because if yes
ok good because if yes then i cant talk to you 90% of the time
today? practically no time at all
i just showered and i gtg sleep soo good night
oh ok!
good night
cya tomorrow
good night but i have a question is it evening for u
no I’m going to sleep right now
hello, nice to see we are starting early this time!!
yeahxugubbyvtyvcuvyv
unless u live in america and its like 1 am for u or smt
yeah
Ok before solving what you sent last night
Write x based on y (inverse the equation)
Oh wow nice!
ok so do you want me to give you tough problems or you wanna start a new thing?
sorry i was eating
i have a class rn
for my other exam
sorry
ill brb in 53 minutes
Oh ok
can we study
I'm here!
hi
so
im kinda in trouble
my exam is tommorow
can u help me solve this
bro
wtf
actually
it was supposed to be after tomorrow
im gonna kms
Don't panic you are gonna do great, how much is left?
bro i hope 😭 but theres a lot left
wait
actually
lets do some geometry
Oh ok
Oh nice
i asked my teacher abt this
anyways
one of the questions
is to find the height of the triangle
and that height is like 4 times the size of the side it touches or idk what its called in geometry
also the area of the triangle is 98 cm^2
i can try drawing it
Ok good
Ok so what do u think?
Can you tell me the formula for the area of a triangle
wait
before we start
i have a question
Yes
the angle bnetween the legs isnt necessary 90 degrees right?
ab / 2
but thats for right triangles
Yes, it can be any angle
Generally the formula is base×height/2
yeah
I'm sure your question says "the height is four times the base"
And as you have drawn, the base is x, and the height is 4x
So what would be the value of x?
well yeah basically
its unknown how do i find it
inst that for right traingles only?
No, the general formula says base×height/2
Height is not one of the sides
But it can be
Which as you say, in right triangles
The side is also height
oohh
Both got the same area
riighhtttt i completely forgot that could exist 💀
Lol
The picture is not to scale
alr but anyways i think u are right
I mean no matter how the triangle looks
If the base and the height are the same, then the areas are the same
ok so b*h/2
Also check out this cool thing, as u can see the bases are the same, so are the heights, therefore the area of all of them are the same!!!
wait what?
bro
my life is a lie
Why?
how does this (bh)/2 formula work for triangles that dont have a 90 degree angle
this makes life easy
bro my geometry teacher used to teach me some herons formulas or smt
Like what formulas?
ok wait lets actually solve this question
the Heron's formula idk why i used plural 💀
i dont even remember it right now it was so useless
we never used it 💀
oh fr? like in grade 11 or smt?
Yes!
ahhh ok
yea i might have to go soon sadly
sa9q3ogwiojghwjtheh
i hate this
ok bh/2 = 4x*x/2
4x^2/2
2x^2
Almost there!!
Yes
that means 2x^2 = 98 cm^2
🔥 YES
(do i remove the centimeters for now)
You don't have to write it, but write it at the end when you get the answer
No don't use the formula that would take forever
wdym
alr
uhm
one sec
ok so firstly lets divide everything by two
also
btw
oh nvm
Yes!!
x^2 = 49
That's correct
x = 7
Exactlyyy
let me draw it ig
wait
its a weird one
so basically
we have a triangle
its sides are 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm
and the height is drawn from its greatest side??
idk its weird
let me translate it
This is something that teachers don't want you to know!!
The triangle is a right triangle, but figuring that out is a bit time consuming and boring
The triangle with sides 3, 4, 5 is always right triangle
drawn side to its larger side
Yes
yea but why are u bringing this up
So it means that the triangle is a right triangle
isnt the 3 4 5 side right triangle the famous egyptian triangle or smt
Triple the sides and guess what numbers you get
Write it here
how do i triple like add or what
I mean 3×side
You get 9-12-15
Ok now let's get back to the question
Is 12 the greatest side?
no but 15 is the hypotenuse
one sec
give me 10 mins
Isn't a hypo a side 💀
No worries take ur time
im back
idk i thought u cant use it for some reason
ok so the question asks to find lines (i forgor what they are called 💀) that the height divides that side
thats what the question is saying
What??
idk its weird
im so sorry i gtgf sleep
my mom wants me to go sleep early because i have an exam tmmrw
Ah ok np
can we talk tmmrw
Alrighty
Are we gonna be able to?
Aren't you gonna have the exam
where do u live approx. what continent
I would say my time
i have the exam at like 1 pm idk what that is for u
It is 11pm rn
say ur time its the same thing
What about you?
Oh you are very close to me then 💀
ok thats nice so we basically have the same timezones
Yeah that's great
well yea i know since u arent in australia or america 💀
ok so
I'm gonna wake up at around 8-9 am in the morning
I think the only problem you got is being from America or Australia 💀
for u thats like 11:30 to 12:30
Yes got it, cya tomorrow morning then!
yep before 11:30 or after 12:30 for u
Ok good
alr ping me when u can talk
also
my exam is at like 1 pm
did i say that before
Yes u did
Lol
Go sleep before you forget the formula of area of a triangle
If you ever think you are not ready enough
Sneak a calculator to the class and use it
Like above 👆
I’m here
@pine ridge
like an hour and a half
can we start
@pine ridge
before we start let me tell you something
the “height” means the perpendicular line to the “base” CONSIDERED
yeah
so its 12
Yes before that question
solve this one
What is the value of “?” ?
How do you think we can find the value of “?”?
pythagorean theorem
oh wait
No
we dont the h
?
What is the are of the triangle?
bh / 2
ok so what would be the area
Yes! Exactly, so the area of the triangle is 4 considering this type of approach
but now find the area using this height and base
i thought it was bc for the height for a sec
(FE * AD) / 2
i like using brackets
Yes!! And what does that equal to?
we dont know FE
We don’t know FE, but we do know the area of the triangle!
oohh
right
i always think that its a new problem or smt 💀
ok so what would be the value of FE
Yes!!!
correct!
And now about finding the lengths of each part! (Yellow and pink)
Here comes the Pythagorean theorem!
Ok wait
the problem is wrong
if you do
yellow^2 + 4^2 = 4^2
you get yellow^2 = 0
yellow = 0 💀
which is true, so there is no triangle with those lengths

Alright now, you kinda got the idea of the solution
Now let’s solve this one!
You solve it:
ok I gotta go study for my tomorrow’s exam, I wish you luck on your exam and I’m sure you will do great!
yo bro sorry i really had to go
u also have an exam?
😂
uh
here
now there are points
lets find AD first
wait
BC = 15 not BD
uhm
It’s not that hard
how do i do it
The triangle’s area remains the same
well yeah i guess
12 * 9 /2
The area remains the same
So the area yields from multiply two sides is exact same to the multiplication between slope and the height
i dont understand where ur going with this sorry
hmm
Do you know how to find the area with those two purple segments?
bro finding the first step in geometry is a hell
the 2 small triangl;es?
No, I mean the big one
54?
this is what i did
yeah, that’s the area of the triangle
Why did you guys stop 💀

I invented Snatoms, a mo...
my brain is ruined
yo wsp @pine ridge
How was the exam
it got cancelled 💀
lmao 
yeah start studying asap so you can learn everything!
I’m gonna almost disappear for a month cuz of my exams so ask others and don’t wait for me 💀
😭
are ur exams difficult
cuz they affect my college entrance exam results, yes, they are kinda difficult
is it like graphing stuff or smt
i have a friend in grade 11
he was doing smt
with the sigma in math
it could be? But tomorrow we are gonna be having exams on boring
which we gotta study hard 😭
Yes!
did u study before
😂
thats me
when i study 1 min before the exam
oh btw
i just remembered
i have exams for my other school 
You go to several schools?! 
i have 2 schools one online and another irl
Oh damn
Why?
oh
every where in the world, students learn random stuff that they won’t use them in their lifetime even a single time💀💀
we have american textbooks and those are random asf
what kinda stuff you guys learn?
at least they are easy 😂
we have 3 main subjects: math, english, and science
oh ok nice
bro fr im sorry to say this but everything that u are teaching me i will probably never use after school 😭
lol
it depends what you gonna do in the future
for example some basics are needed for life
well yeah nice in a way that its easy so i can keep up with my other school 
like (simple) math is basically something that everybody uses
i know but bro im probably never gonna need to know the linear equation or smt 💀🙏
we will see about that 🤔
btw we mostly study linear equations in math and like the sa and v of 3d models for some reason now
oh cool
since you know coding, you might get into situations where you would need math
in science we were studying chemistry before a bit and now physics ⁉️
yes science is the combination of them
yeah but my garbage doesnt need complex math for now 😎👍
if you reach grades 10 and above
you are gonna have separate books for each one
physics-chemistry-calculus- stuff…
i alr have in my online school (i hate chemistry)
bro me too, chemistry is the worst lesson I have ever faced (except history)
history sucks
like on god I hate reading every single word of it
broo same history is so bad 😭
i mean i kinda finished it
but bro
i hate all those dates
like i dont care when cristopher columbus discovered america or smt 💀🙏😂⁉️
It was really fun talking to you
same but its not like ur gonna die right 💀
lol 💀
Close this iconic help forum!
should i? maybe ill still use it
People won’t see it tho
i can send link in chat or smt
you got to post new forums so it would on top
Ah ok your choice!
this post is historic it has like 1.5k messages already 😭
Yeah that’s why I sent the picture lol
wait so ur leaving for a month ⁉️
I ofc will be back
I will check discord every day
but I won’t be active like 30 mins or 1 hour stuff…
wdym
I won’t be as active as i am right now
well dm me or smt ig
alr good luck on ur exam 👍
Thanks!! U too
cehck out these cool stats i made
Wow very nice!!!
tysm!! im gonna add some more cool features to it 🔥🗣️
u should try python if u havent already or some other programming language like js or smt
its pretty fun and very useful!
I definitely will! After school 
nice! but personally i think starting even a bit earlier is better because more time to learn everything
bro yesterday i learnt css in 30 minutes 
i watched an hour long video in x2 

damnnn lol
very nice
Yes I agree!
