Circle I think
Circle pretty sure
And what about the triangle, is that touching the centre?
Gauguin, can you send us the translated text too?
Please do. Or just the raw text. Chatgpt can translate pretty well XD
I was about to write the same thing
Is there any angle given??
I don't really remember the properties of the chords
Aaaahh
You can't use sine functions here
either
How'd you draw the diagram?
Ace draw a line AO and divide it as 12 - x and x
I found a way but its annoying lol
You can't use Pythagoras here
You can do it this way
See the radius is 12
Got it alr?
I did not lol. Wondering how to proceed after that
The idea I have is this.
You can use sine law to find that angle.
Do the same thing with the other side
Add their angles
You get angle B?
Whatever it was
Then apply cosine law
Radii bisects the chords perpendicular
So ye
Isosceles triangles
But lengthy process maybe
@urban narwhal has given 1 rep to @errant monolith
You can solve after that?

Did you know that whenever a radius bisects a chord, they make 90° angle?
Alright so lemme send you another picture
Okay so from the first picture, can you understand how we get an isosceles triangle?
Triangle with 2 sides equal
Let it AC
But do understand the isosceles triangle part?
Yessss
So we know angle OBC = angle OCB?
It is given?
Ah okay
And yes you are right we can use that to find angle C
And also, we know that angle C = angle B
So far clear?
Great
Time to send another picture
I added a ✅ because we know that angle
Can you see what cosB is this time?
Yep
Which means we know that angle too, right?
Not really lol
Do you know inverse trigonometric functions?
Like how to get angles from trigonometry?
Yes!
We can add those
arccos(1/4)+arccos(1/6)
No formulas
Just add
Ah no, not like that
I actually dont know the rules for inverse trig functions
You are not allowed to use calculator?
Yeah, that's the way I did it.
And the question is from a school textbook?
Not even table values?
Like a table or sheet with values written on it
Like pi = 3.141
e = 2.718
log(2) = 0.3
Then I will try to find a better way tomorrow
But for tonight, that's the only solution which came to my mind
We use a calculator to find arccos(1/6) and arccos(1/4)
And then add them
Let's say the answer was 100° (just saying)
Then we can use cosine law
c² = a² + b² - 2abCos(C) right?
We have the values of a and b
And we just found C
Makes sense?
👍
@molten lintel by the way
Another way i can think of is
Using coordinate geometry
You know that?
We give coordinates like (1,3) to all the points
Do you know equation of a circle?
I agree
Anyways, good night. Talk to you tomorrow
