Begin with what you know.

[idle rune]

I only know that it has 56⁰. I don't really know the step on this one

[true peak]

Notice anything about line QR?

[idle rune]

It a 90⁰ line?

[true peak]

...what's a 90° line?

[idle rune]

It a straight line meaning it has 90⁰, it also a tangent line

I could be wrong tho

[idle rune]

Mb i remember the wrong one it has 180⁰

[true peak]

Tangent line is what we needed to notice. And what is OP?

[idle rune]

OP seems to be the radius

[true peak]

And what do we know about tangents and radii?

[idle rune]

Tangent line touch circle at exactly one point. Radius line segment join the centre of the circle to the outside edges

[true peak]

What do we know about when they intersect?

[idle rune]

Quite frankly, am not sure on this one

[true peak]

The tangent at a point is perpendicular to the radius at that point.

[idle rune]

So they form a 90⁰ line?

[true peak]

No, because that's not a thing. They form a 90 degree angle.

[idle rune]

Okay, got it

[true peak]

So then what does that tell us about triangle OPQ?

[idle rune]

That it's a 90⁰ angle?

[true peak]

...it's a triangle.

[idle rune]

Oh, right. I skipped half of this class on a vacation. Thank for being patience with me

[idle rune]

One more question to ask but can you explained the step into solving these problem if you can? Thanks

[true peak]

...okay, do you know what a degree is?

[idle rune]

Yes

[true peak]

What is it?

[idle rune]

Units of angle measurements

[true peak]

And do you know what an angle is?

[idle rune]

Yes

[true peak]

What is it?

[idle rune]

Measure of turn between two intersecting lines

[true peak]

So if you know all that, why do you say things like "90 degree line" or that a triangle is an angle?

[idle rune]

Because i am really confuse on this units, so i second guess my question wondering if am correct or wrong

[idle rune]

The 90⁰ line is because i misheard my teacher

[idle rune]

Anyways thanks for helping me out a bit.

[true peak]

So we have a triangle, OPQ.

What do we know about it?

[idle rune]

Angle Q is 56⁰

[true peak]

What else?

[idle rune]

Thats all i know

[true peak]

What did we just figure out about it?

[idle rune]

Tangent line, radius and if they intersect they form 90⁰ angle

[true peak]

Therefore?

[idle rune]

It a 90⁰ angle

[true peak]

"It"?

[idle rune]

OP a 90⁰ angle

[true peak]

OP is a line segment.

[idle rune]

I don't know no more tbh

[true peak]

We know that angle OQP is 56 degrees, and we know that angle OPQ is 90 degrees.

And what else do we know about triangles?

[idle rune]

So does that mean that 90⁰ is the radius? If that the case then the diameter is 180 or ops is 180

[idle rune]

I think am wrong. I quite. I'll just study more. Thanks for your time anyway, have a nice day

[true peak]

Is the radius an angle?

[idle rune]

I don't think so

[true peak]

So then how can the radius be measured in degrees?

[idle rune]

Nope

[true peak]

...I asked how can it.

[idle rune]

No idea...

[true peak]

It can't.

[idle rune]

Okay

So it not the right answer thanks for telling me

[true peak]

You keep guessing. Guessing is not correct.

You need to think about what you're saying.

[idle rune]

Not tryna guess, i just don't know how to solve it. Got a test tmrrw on the units, i'll just study instead. Tought this server was gonna help me. Thank for you time again anyway

[true peak]

I am trying to help you, and you are guessing.

When you say that a thing that isn't an angle is measured in degrees, that's guessing.

[idle rune]

Better off telling me way on how to solve them but i understand what you're saying

[true peak]

I think it's better to help you figure out how to solve it.

[idle rune]

Fair point. But i think i learn better when people teach me where to start, and way to solve

[true peak]

I did teach you where to start. You start with the information you're given.

[idle rune]

I meant like step by step

[true peak]

That's not telling you where to start.

[idle rune]

I don't know how to use what i been given if i don't know the formulas

[true peak]

Math isn't about formulas. Math is about logic.

[idle rune]

Is the answer 36⁰ btw? And yes it honestly is about both for me. Logic and formula

[true peak]

No, it's not about formulas, because formulas are meaningless and false unless a proof exists that they're true.

[idle rune]

So how you find this answer without a formula?

[true peak]

By listening.

You know what, it's probably best for you to just repeat the year if you've literally missed half of it. How the hell does that even happen?

[idle rune]

Vacations i cant repat since am only year 9

I'll study like alway

And catch up

[idle rune]

Half of it is over exagerrating i admit but probably like around 1 week of the unit

[true peak]

That doesn't answer my question. How did you go on a five-month vacation?

[idle rune]

I went a week and a half

I appreciate you trying to help me tho, not trying to sound rude but yeah have a nice day man 👍

[true peak]

Why were you allowed to miss a week and a half of school?

Also, if all you missed was a week and a half, how did you miss all of this?

[idle rune]

At my school am allow as long as when am back its my responsibility to.go in at lunch or study at home to catch up to the unit your in

[idle rune]

Good question not all but decent chunks i say

[true peak]

It seems like what you need is a full-time tutor, which is frankly beyond the scope of this server.

[idle rune]

Yeah but again thank for trying to help. Sorry if i sound rude i wasn't trying to be. Have a nice day/night man 👍👋

I can study with my friend theyre pretty smart

Too

[idle rune]

You know how to delete this chat room as i do not need it anymore

[true peak]

Use the close command.

[idle rune]

How do i use it?

[soft brook]

.close

[unique lintel]

[idle rune]

Not rlly good with disvord

oops might be close.
