I suppose you have the original question, considering that i’ve seen this multiple times already
analog kraken
i found it on telegram
paper berry
and also, try to use pythagorean theorem here
paper berry
consider that the base hexagon has some sort of line perpendicular to the height
yeah, k would be your slant height here
i’ll try to fetch a picture
ok, i have an attempt at a solution
try to use the law of cosines to find k
if you could find the original diagram (i need to eat right now) that would be appreciated
analog kraken
got it one sec ill have a look around and get back to you
paper berry
got it one sec ill have a look around and get back to you
okay

heyy i asked that person to send a picture or smtg and they sent me this 
paper berry
heyy i asked that person to send a picture or smtg and they sent me this <:3am:1...
i’m back
sorry for the long wait
i was eating with family
yes that looks accurate
basically what i found was that the area ratio is 1:2
so the truncated part of the pyramid actually had a triangle of area 1 on it
and i calculated the value of the height of the big triangle
analog kraken
i was eating with family
no worries
paper berry
then i used similar triangles (the side length ratio is 1:sqrt(2)) to deduce that the slant height could be found
analog kraken
and i calculated the value of the height of the big triangle
hmmm
analog kraken
i see ill try that
paper berry
yep it’s pretty easy lol
analog kraken
ill retry it as well i did it prtty quick
paper berry
could you also show the calculations for it?
paper berry
ill retry it as well i did it prtty quick
i got 1.3103, to 4 sig figs
thats the expression i got
analog kraken
i got that as well at first but that wasnt rightt T_T
paper berry
i got that as well at first but that wasnt rightt T_T
how
analog kraken
i got 1.134
analog kraken
with the help of someone wwe got this
is this method wrong ?
im not getting the asnwer
can anybody tell me if the method si wrong
paper berry
i got 1.134
send the exact value
paper berry
what was it
analog kraken
1.137
paper berry
oh
paper berry
can you send the exact value
analog kraken
analog kraken
SMAE I FORGOT IT AS WELL
paper berry
SMAE I FORGOT IT AS WELL
+close to close the post if you have no further questions
analog kraken
got it
