We use these terms to classify two geometric figures and segments. Similar figures have the same shape, but they do not have the same size. If a figure or segment is congruent then it is the same in every respect. Similar figures are therefore not congruent. These classifications help us better understand the geometric systems. If we have two congruent triangles, all of their angles are the same too. These worksheets start with the focus on concept of congruency and expand to covering similarity.

Title: Fill and draw pie slices in C#
Of the many methods for filling and drawing shapes provided by the Graphics class, DrawPie and FillPie are two of the most confusing. These methods draw and fill elliptical pie slices. They take as parameters:
A brush or pen indicating how the slice should be filled or drawn.
A rectangle or coordinates, width, and height to define a rectangle. The rectangle defines the ellipse holding the pie slice.
Two angles that define radial lines from the center of the ellipse that determine the straight sides of the pie slice.
The angles are the most confusing parameters. The first gives the slice's starting angle in degrees clockwise from the X-axis. The second angle gives the sweep angle for the slice measured clockwise from the starting angle. Note that the both angles can be either positive or negative.
This code draws three sets of two pie slices each where each set includes a slice less than 90 degrees and a complementary slice that includes all of the ellipse not drawn in the first slice. Notice that the two slices in a set use the same starting angle and that the complementary slice's sweep angle is the first slice's angle minus 360 degrees. That's what makes it complementary to the first slice.

CIRCLSPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the student is expected to be able to: • draw a circle given different points. • determine center and radius of the circle given an equation. • determine general and standard form of equation of the circle given some geometric conditions. • convert general form to standard form of equation of the circle and vice versa.
CIRCLE A circle is a locus of points that moves in a plane at a constant distance from a fixed point. The fixed point is called the center and the distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius. Parts of a Circle Center - It is in the centre of the circle and the distance from this point to any other point on the circumference is the same. Radius - The distance from the centre to any point on the circle is called the radius. A diameter is twice the distance of a radius. Circumference - The distance around a circle is its circumference. It is also the perimeter of the circle
Chord - A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference. The longest chord in a called a diameter. The diameter passed through the centre. Segment - A segment of a circle is the region enclosed by a chord and an arc of the circle. Secant - A secant is a straight line cutting at two distinct points. Tangent - If a straight line and a circle have only one point of contact, then that line is called a tangent. A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of contact.
Examples: If the center of the circle is at C(3, 2) and the radius is 4 units, find the equation of the circleand sketch the graph. Reduce to standard form and draw the circle whose equation is 4x2 + 4y2 – 8x – 8y – 16 = 0. Determine the center and radius of the circle (x + 3)2 + (y – 2)2 = 16. Sketch the graph. Reduce x2+ y2– 18x + 10y + 25 = 0 to the center-radius form of the circle. Give the standard form for the equation of a circle with center (2, –4) and radius 5.

The Power of a^2+b^2: Exploring the Beauty of Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean theorem is one of the most fundamental and elegant concepts in mathematics. It provides a simple relationship between the sides of a right triangle, allowing us to calculate unknown lengths and understand the geometric properties of these triangles. At the heart of this theorem lies the expression a^2+b^2, which holds immense power and significance in various fields of study. In this article, we will delve into the depths of a^2+b^2, exploring its origins, applications, and the profound impact it has had on our understanding of the world.
The Origins of the Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean theorem is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, who is credited with its discovery. Born in the 6th century BCE, Pythagoras founded a school of thought that emphasized the importance of mathematics and its role in understanding the universe. The Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, was one of the key principles taught by Pythagoras and his followers.
The theorem itself can be expressed as:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where 'a' and 'b' represent the lengths of the two shorter sides (the legs) of the right triangle, and 'c' represents the length of the hypotenuse.
Applications in Geometry
The Pythagorean theorem has numerous applications in geometry, allowing us to solve for unknown lengths and angles in right triangles. By rearranging the equation, we can isolate any of the variables to find the missing value. For example, if we know the lengths of the two legs, we can calculate the length of the hypotenuse using the equation c = √(a^2 + b^2).
Additionally, the Pythagorean theorem enables us to determine whether a triangle is a right triangle or not. If the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2 holds true for the given side lengths, then the triangle is a right triangle. This property is particularly useful in geometry proofs and constructions.
Real-World Applications
While the Pythagorean theorem is a fundamental concept in mathematics, its applications extend far beyond the realm of geometry. This powerful equation finds practical use in various fields, including architecture, engineering, physics, and even computer graphics.
Architecture and Engineering
In architecture and engineering, the Pythagorean theorem is essential for ensuring structural stability and accuracy in building design. It allows architects and engineers to calculate the lengths of diagonal supports, determine the angles of intersecting walls, and ensure that structures are level and square.
For example, when constructing a staircase, the Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the length of the diagonal stringer, which supports the steps. By applying the theorem, architects and engineers can ensure that the staircase is structurally sound and meets safety standards.
Physics and Mechanics
In the field of physics, the Pythagorean theorem plays a crucial role in understanding the motion of objects and the forces acting upon them. It is particularly relevant in mechanics, where it is used to analyze the components of forces and determine their resultant magnitude.
For instance, when studying projectile motion, the Pythagorean theorem is used to break down the initial velocity of an object into its horizontal and vertical components. By understanding these components, physicists can accurately predict the trajectory and landing point of a projectile.
Computer Graphics
In the realm of computer graphics, the Pythagorean theorem is employed to calculate distances and angles in three-dimensional space. This is essential for rendering realistic images, creating 3D models, and simulating virtual environments.
For example, in a video game, the Pythagorean theorem can be used to determine the distance between a player and an object in the virtual world. By calculating this distance, the game engine can apply appropriate visual and audio effects, enhancing the player's immersion and overall gaming experience.
Case Studies and Examples
Let's explore a few real-world examples that highlight the practical applications of the Pythagorean theorem:
Example 1: The Distance Formula
The distance formula, derived from the Pythagorean theorem, allows us to calculate the distance between two points in a coordinate plane. Given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the distance between them can be found using the equation:
d = √((x2 – x1)^2 + (y2 – y1)^2)
This formula is widely used in navigation systems, GPS technology, and map-making, enabling us to determine the shortest distance between two locations on Earth.
Example 2: Right Triangle Roof Design
When designing a roof with a triangular shape, the Pythagorean theorem is employed to ensure that the roof is structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing. By using the theorem, architects and engineers can calculate the length of the roof's diagonal supports, ensuring that they are of sufficient strength to withstand external forces such as wind and snow.
Q&A
Q: Can the Pythagorean theorem be applied to non-right triangles?
A: No, the Pythagorean theorem is only applicable to right triangles, where one angle measures 90 degrees.
Q: Are there any alternative forms of the Pythagorean theorem?
A: Yes, there are several alternative forms of the Pythagorean theorem, such as the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines, which can be used to solve triangles that are not right triangles.
Q: Can the Pythagorean theorem be extended to higher dimensions?
A: While the Pythagorean theorem is specifically formulated for two-dimensional right triangles, it can be extended to higher dimensions using the concept of vector spaces and the dot product.
Q: Are there any historical applications of the Pythagorean theorem?
A: Yes, the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians were aware of the Pythagorean theorem long before Pythagoras. They used it to construct right angles in their architectural and surveying practices.
Q: How has the Pythagorean theorem influenced other areas of mathematics?

What is similar and congruent triangles?
Congruent means that a triangle has the same angle measures and side lengths of another, but it might be positioned differently, maybe rotated. Similar only means the angles are the same. If you have two triangles that have the same angle measures then they will be similar, the sides will be "scaled" versions of them.
What is congruence and similarity?
Two objects are similar if they have the same shape, so that one is an enlargement of the other. Two objects are congruent if they are the same shape and size.
What is the formula for similar triangles?
If the two sides of a triangle are in the same proportion of the two sides of another triangle, and the angle inscribed by the two sides in both the triangle are equal, then two triangles are said to be similar. Thus, if ∠A = ∠X and AB/XY = AC/XZ then ΔABC ~ΔXYZ.

Is SSA congruence possible?
Given two sides and non-included angle (SSA) is not enough to prove congruence. ... You may be tempted to think that given two sides and a non-included angle is enough to prove congruence. But there are two triangles possible that have the same values, so SSA is not sufficient to prove congruence.
Is Asa a similarity theorem?
For the configurations known as angle-angle-side (AAS), angle-side-angle (ASA) or side-angle-angle (SAA), it doesn't matter how big the sides are; the triangles will always be similar. These configurations reduce to the angle-angle AA theorem, which means all three angles are the same and the triangles are similar.
How do you prove SAS?
Side-Angle-Side is a rule used to prove whether a given set of triangles are congruent. The SAS rule states that: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. An included angle is an angle formed by two given sides.

By utilizing congruent triangles the buildings create a nice work atmosphere(office buildings), a protection system from the sun by reflecting off opposite triangular faces, or even a popular tourist attraction. This is an example of triangle congruence in the real world- identical buildings.
How is similarity used in real life?
The bar of the frame being parallel to the ground leads to similar triangles, and the dimensions of the frame will reflect that similarity.

Given: CD and EF are the tangents to a circle (center O) at the end point of diameter AB . To prove: CD∥EF. Proof: CD is the tangent to the circle at the point A. since angle made by tangent with the radius at the point of contact is 90∘ ∴∠BAD=90∘ similarly EF is the tangent to the circle at the point B. ∴∠ABE=90∘ Thus, ∠BAD=∠ABE (each equal to 90∘ ). But these are alternate interior angles. ∴CD∥EF | 677.169 | 1 |

Geometric Relationships • identify, through investigation, the minimum side and angle information (i.e., side-side-side; side-angle-side; angle-sideangle) needed to describe a unique triangle (e.g., "I can draw many triangles if I'm only told the length of one side, but there's only one triangle I can draw if you tell me the lengths of all three sides."); • determine, through investigation using a variety of tools (e.g., dynamic geometry software, concrete materials, geoboard), relationships among area, perimeter, corresponding side lengths, and corresponding angles of congruent shapes (Sample problem: Do you agree with the conjecture that triangles with the same area must be congruent? Justify your reasoning.); • demonstrate an understanding that enlarging or reducing two-dimensional shapes creates similar shapes; • distinguish between and compare similar shapes and congruent shapes, using a variety of tools (e.g., pattern blocks, grid paper, dynamic geometry software) and strategies (e.g., by showing that dilatations create similar shapes and that translations, rotations, and reflections generate congruent shapes) (Sample problem: A larger square can be composed from four congruent square pattern blocks.

Construct an Equilateral Triangle new tool for geometric constructions that replaces traditional compasses. He demonstrates a basic construction, showing how to construct an equilateral triangle on a given line segment using this new tool.
The presentation begins with Chris explaining the motivation behind developing this new tool. Traditional compasses have limitations, including being hard to use, inaccurate, and potentially unsafe. Therefore, the new tool, which combines a circle arc template and a straight edge, was designed as a more practical and precise alternative.
Chris then proceeds to demonstrate the construction step by step:
He positions the circle arc template atone endpoint of the given line segment (AB) and draws a 300-degree arc to create a new point (C) where the arc intersects the line segment.
The circle arc template is repositioned at point C, and another arc is drawn, this time showing only the intersection point (D).
By drawing a straight line through points A and D, Chris forms a smaller equilateral triangle (ABD).
This process is repeated on the other endpoint, creating a similar smaller equilateral triangle (CBF).
Chris concludes that the triangle ABG is equilateral based on the congruence and similarity of the smaller triangles.
He justifies the construction using similar triangles, stating that the ratios of corresponding sides must be equal, thus proving that the constructed triangle is indeed equilateral.
Throughout the presentation, Chris emphasises the historical significance of this construction, mentioning that it is the first challenge in Euclid's ancient book, "The Elements." He also demonstrates the accuracy of the construction by measuring the sides of the triangle.
In summary, Chris Tisdell's presentation introduces a new geometric construction tool designed to replace compasses. He illustrates the construction of an equilateral triangle on a given line segment, emphasising its historical importance and the mathematical concepts behind the construction, such as congruence and similarity of triangles | 677.169 | 1 |
In the implementation, we start with the given angles, use the hyperbolic laws of sine and cosine, see also the short pdf, solve a system in the HM, then move it in the world of the upper half plane $\Bbb H$ by simple coercion, and there is for $\Bbb H=$UHP a coercion from HM:
After solving the system, your idea to use this framework, we obtain the vectors V1, V2, V3, each with three coordinates, that should be considered now in HM. It turns out that we have the right order of components.
so the bigger coordinate is at the last place. The point HM(S2) becomes now M2. Similarly, we have after solving the system and mapping the vectors to HM also the other points M1, M3. Sage gives us the chance to compute the distance between these points in the given model:
So the distance corresponds to the one stated in the linked pdf, second cosine rule in hyperbolic geometry. The distance between each two points is the same. For instance, we have symbolically the True in the lines:
From here, we can pass to the upper half-plane $\Bbb H=$UHP, and the points are also exact, to work with them as complex number we take the "coordinates", and we can convert them now to numbers in some exact field we prefer, for instance in $\bar{\Bbb Q}$ (or with some work in some cyclotomic field). Here are some test lines, that illustrate the structure, using
This may seem less important for drawing one triangle, but may become important when trying to draw a full tesselation starting from one triangle and applying Möbius transformations, details in a deep level can be made visible (also in an animation with zoom-in features)...

\section{Objectives}
\begin{itemize}
\item Explore more geometric properties of $\R^n$ by looking at dot products to capture the notions of lengths and angles.
\item Calculate dot products and norms of vectors.
\item Write parametric and normal equations for lines and planes in $\R^2$ and $\R^3$.
\item Understand the connection between lines/planes and linear combinations of vectors.
\item Define span and the geometric intuition.
\end{itemize}
\section{Summary}
\begin{itemize}
\item Recall: In $\R^2$ a vector can be viewed as a directed line segmented. We can ask two questions about that line segment:
\begin{itemize}
\item What is the length?
\item What is the angle it makes (with another vector, for instance)?
\end{itemize}
\item We define a type of multiplication between vectors called the \df{dot product} (or \df{scalar product}) which is an operation:
\[
\R^n \times \R^n \to \R
\]
That is, it is an operation between vectors of $\R^n$ that returns a scalar in $\R$ (hence the name scalar product). It is define as follows:
If $\vec v, \vec w\in \R^n$ were:
\[
\vec v = \begin{pmatrix} v_1\\v_2\\\vdots\\v_n \end{pmatrix} \qquad\quad \vec w = \begin{pmatrix} w_1\\w_2\\\vdots\\w_n \end{pmatrix}
\]
Then we define:
\[
\dotprod v w := v_1 w_1 + v_2 w_2 + \cdots + v_n w_n = \sum_{i=1}^n v_i w_i
\]
\item This type of product will be generalized to other vector spaces; in an abstract vector space, this type of operation is called a \df{inner product}. Inner products are traditionally written as $\langle \vec u, \vec v\rangle$ instead of $\dotprod u v$. We'll use the latter notation because it is more specific: it is the dot product, which happens to be an inner product.
\item There are some properties of the dot product we'd like to write down and prove.
\theorem Let $\vec u, \vec v \in \R^n$ and $c\in \R$. Then :
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\dotprod u v = \dotprod v u$.
\item $\vec u\cdot (\vec v+\vec w) = (\vec u \cdot \vec v) + (\vec u\cdot \vec w)$.
\item $(c\vec u)\cdot\vec v = c(\vec u \cdot \vec v)$.
\item $\vec u \cdot \vec u \geq 0$ and $\vec u \cdot \vec u = 0$ if and only if $\vec u=\vec 0$.
\end{enumerate}
\proof We will prove just property 4, because it's a little important for something we are about to define.
There are two things we must show, so we will be begin by proving that $\vec u \cdot \vec u \geq 0$. We first can write down what $\vec u$ is as it is a vector in $\R^n$ therefore we can write it in the following form:
\[ \vec u = [u_1, \ldots, u_n] \]
Therefore, by the definition of the dot product:
\[ \vec u \cdot\vec u= u_1u_1 + \cdots u_nu_n = u_1^2 + \cdots + u_n^2 = \sum_{i=1}^n u_i^2 \]
It is true that for every real number $c$ we have that $c^2 \geq 0$; therefore, the above is the sum of $n$ non-negative numbers, therefore itself is non-negative. Thus $\vec u\cdot \vec u \geq 0$ which is what we wanted.
Now we need to show the next condition: $\vec u \cdot \vec u = 0$ if and only if $\vec u=\vec 0$. For this, as it is an `if and only if' we must show two direction: that the left implies thr right, and the right implies the left.
We begin by showing that the left implies the right. So we assume that $\vec u \cdot \vec u = 0$ and hope to show that $\vec u = 0$. Let $\vec u$ be as above, and then, as above, $\vec u \cdot \vec u = \sum_{i=1}^n u_i^2$. Suppose, for sake of contradiction that this quantity was non-zero. Then it must be that at least one of the things in the sum is non-zero; so $u_i^2\neq 0$. This holds only when $u_i\neq 0$, which means that $\vec u \neq \vec 0$ as the $i$th component is nonzero.
Next we show the right implies the left. This direction is easier; we need only show that $\vec 0 \cdot \vec 0 = 0$, which it does as $\sum_{i=0}^n (0)(0) = 0$ \qed
\item We now define a \df{norm} on a the vector space on $\R^n$; we write the norm of vector $\vec v$ as $\norm{\vec v}$ and define it as:
\[ \norm{\vec v} := \sqrt{ \vec v \cdot \vec v } \]
Note that this makes sense; $\vec v \cdot \vec v$ is always a real number, and by property $4$ above it is always non-negative, so it has a square root.
\item The norm of a vector is suppose to give a measurement of length. We already know from geometry was the length of one of these line segments is in $\R^2$ and $\R^3$; we can check that this notion of length coincides with out expectations:
\example $\norm{ [v_1, v_2] } = \sqrt{ v_1^2 + v_2^2 }$, which is what we'd expect from the Pythagorean Theorem.
\item The norm has several properties that we'd like to pick out an identify.
\theorem Let $\vec v\in \R^n$ and $c\in \R$. Then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\norm{\vec v} = 0$ if and only if $\vec v = 0$.
\item $\norm{c\vec v} = c\norm{\vec v}$.
\end{enumerate}
\proof You should try to write out a formal proof, but these follow pretty straightforwardly from the inner product properties 3 and 4 above, and the definition of the norm. \qed
\item There are two fundamental properties involving norms and inner products: the \df{Triangle inequality} and the \df{Cauchy-Schwarz inequality}. We will prove the former using the latter, and revisit Cauchy-Schwarz later in the course.
\theorem (The Cauchy Schwarz inequality) \[ \dotprod u v \leq \norm{\vec{u}}\norm{\vec{v}} \]
\theorem (The Triangle inequality) \[ \norm{\vec{u} + \vec{v}} \leq \norm{\vec u}\norm{\vec v} \]
\proof (of Triangle inequality).
\begin{alignat*}{3}
\norm{\vec u + \vec v}^2 &= (\vec u + \vec v) \cdot (\vec u + \vec v) &\qquad&\text{by dfn of norm}\\
&= (\vec u + \vec v) \cdot \vec u + (\vec u + \vec v) \cdot \vec v &&\text{dot product property}\\
&= \vec u \cdot \vec u + \vec v \cdot \vec u + \vec u \cdot \vec v + \vec v \cdot \vec v &&\text{same property}\\
&= \norm{\vec u}^2 + 2(\vec v\cdot \vec u) + \norm{\vec v}^2 &&\text{communitivity of dot product and dfn of norm}\\
&= \norm{\vec u}^2 + 2|\vec v\cdot \vec u| + \norm{\vec v}^2 && |x| \geq x\text{ for all $x\in \R$}\\
&\leq \norm{\vec u}^2 + 2\norm{\vec v}\norm{\vec u} + \norm{\vec v}^2 &&\text{Cauchy-Schwarz}\\
&= (\norm{\vec u} + \norm{\vec v})^2 &&\text{factor}
\end{alignat*}
Therefore, $\norm{\vec u + \vec v}^2 \leq (\norm{\vec u} + \norm{\vec v})^2$. As all quantities are positive, we can conclude that: \[\norm{\vec u + \vec v} \leq \norm{\vec u} + \norm{\vec v}\]
\item We can also measure the length between two vectors using the norm:
The distance between the tips of the vectors $\vec v$ and $\vec u$ is $\norm{\vec v - \vec u}$.
\item We can also measure angles with the dot product
You can use the law of cosines to get the following formula for $\theta$
\[
\cos(\theta) = \frac{ \vec u \cdot \vec v}{\norm{\vec u}\norm{\vec v}}
\]
\item The most important part of the above calculation is we can now describe what it means for 2 angles to be orthogonal to each other. Two vectors $\vec v$ and $\vec u$ are \df{orthogonal} if $\vec u \cdot \vec v = 0$.
This is the definition of orthogonal; you can see it coincides with what you'd expect. Namely $\vec u \cdot \vec v = 0$ if and only if the angle between them is $90$ degrees.
\item We can also use vectors to describe lines and planes in $\R^n$ (but in particular, we'll stick to $\R^2$ and $\R^3$ because those are the only ones that we mere mortals can easily visualize).
\item Recall (from earlier math classes) that a line in $\R^2$ is given by the equation $ax + by = c$ (or sometimes $y = mx + b$).
It is the set of all points that go through a particular point (which we can describe by the vector $\vec p$ pointing at the point) with a particular slope (which we can describe by a vector $\vec d$ parallel to the slope of the line).
Let $\vec x$ signify a point on the line. What relationship should hold between $\vec x$, $\vec p$ and $\vec d$? Well, it should be the case that if you move the line to the origin (by subtracting $\vec p$) you should be able to stretch $\vec d$ by some quantity to hit the point. That is: \[ \vec x - \vec p = t \vec d \] $t$ in this instance is called the \df{parameter}; we can imagine $t$ varying and as it does it `draws' the line in $\R^2$. Solving for $\vec x$ you get the following equation (which should look like $y=mx + b$): \[ \vec x = t\vec d + \vec p \]
\item We could also describe a line by finding a vector $\vec v$ which is orthogonal to the line. Let's call $\vec n$ a vector which is orthogonal to the line (this is called a \df{normal vector} to the line). Then we want that if you dot $\vec n$ with a vector pointing at point on the line offset by the point $\vec p$ you should get $0$; that is:
\[ \vec n \cdot (\vec x - \vec p) = 0 \]
This should look like $ax + bx = c$; particular if you move the constants to the right hand side:
\[
\vec n \cdot \vec x = \vec n \cdot \vec p
\]
\item The last equation actually would describe a plane in $\R^3$; there is a vector $\vec n$ which is orthogonal to all points on a place. Therefore, if you knew this vector and a point on the plane, the above would describe all such points.
Given two vector $\vec u$ and $\vec v$ on the plane (non-parallel), you could find a vector $\vec n$ which is orthogonal to both (using perhaps the \df{cross product}, which we will not talk about this his course; you could also use the dot product and solve some equations) and you'd get the following parametric equation:
\[
\vec x - \vec p = s\vec u + t \vec v
\]
Here, $s$ and $t$ are both parameters. If you fix one of the parameters then you can see that you are drawing a line. As both vary though, you are drawing a plane.
\item This last section is really to help you build geometric intuition for $\R^n$. It is a useful skill to be able to visualize particular sets of points as geometric objects, like lines and planes.
\example Consider a system where this is the augmented matrix:
\[
\begin{amatrix}{2}
1 & 3 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{amatrix}
\]
The only restriction for the solution is that $x + 3y = 1$. This is a linear in $\R^2$.
\item We define the \df{span} of a set of vectors as the set of all linear combinations of these vectors.

Angles
In maths this week we have been recapping our learning on angles. One of our tasks was to measure lots of different angles from items and objects around the school and record the information on our clipboards.
We then described each angle by stating whether it was an acute angle right angle, straight line angle, obtuse angle or reflex angle.
Also, we were able to find missing angles without measuring them as we knew that angles on a straight line always adds up to 360 degrees and angles in a complete circle always adds up to 360 degrees. | 677.169 | 1 |

How to draw a line along the intersection of two planes
Hello all, I am working out some sort of complex geometry for a mechanism that pivots about 75deg in a tight spot. I drew two lines: where the motion begins, and where the motion ends.
I created a point-normal plane at the pivot-end of each line, thinking that the intersection of these planes is the correct pivot axis (it is not a simple 90 degrees due to lack of space in the structure for a simple solution). | 677.169 | 1 |

The 17th chapter of the RD Sharma book for Class 8 maths is on special quadrilaterals. Class 8 pupils have a limited understanding of quadrilaterals. These include forms like square, rectangle, trapezium, pentagon, etc. This chapter focuses on creating concepts of various quadrilaterals using the data provided. Maths Chapter 17 Understanding Shapes – III (Special Types of Quadrilaterals) offers a wealth of information about quadrilateral definitions and attributes of many types of quadrilaterals. Because these quadrilaterals are said to be special, the characteristics of these quadrilaterals are taught to the students. These properties have a vast importance in the study of geometry. Trapezium, isosceles trapezium, parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, and square are all examples of quadrilaterals. In this chapter, we will mostly look at the characteristics of all these quadrilaterals. These quadrilaterals are called special quadrilaterals because they have certain characteristics (in terms of diagonals, angles, angle relationships and orientation of sides) that make them uniques from the rest of the quadrilaterals
The concept of quadrilaterals includes sides, adjacent sides, opposite sides, angle, adjacent angle, and opposite angles. The types of curves such as closed curves and simple curves. Further in RD Sharma Maths chapter 17 Understanding Shapes – III (Special Types of Quadrilaterals), The properties for a parallelogram include; The adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other at the point of intersection, the diagonals of a rectangle are of equal length, the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors, the diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors of each other, the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure, the opposite sides of a parallelogram are of equal length. The rhombus, kite, rectangle and square have similar properties, elaborated in the chapter. | 677.169 | 1 |

Point
Correct Answer D. Point
Explanation A point is the most basic element in geometry that indicates a specific position in space. Unlike a line, plane, or volume, a point has no dimensions and does not extend in any direction. It is simply a location represented by a single coordinate. Therefore, when asked to indicate a position in space, the correct answer would be a point.

Correct Answer B. Plane
Explanation In a creative composition, a plane defines the limit of boundaries or volume. A plane is a two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. It provides a flat surface for objects and elements to be placed upon or within, creating a defined space or boundary. Unlike a line, which is one-dimensional, a plane has width and height, allowing for a more comprehensive definition of boundaries or volume in a composition. A point, on the other hand, is a zero-dimensional object and does not have the capacity to define boundaries or volume.

By Le Corbusier comments on "forms", which of the composition that he mention is "very difficult" to satisfy the spirit?
A.
Commutative composition
B.
Cubic composition
C.
Combination
D.

This article will show how we can take vectors and apply them to a physical context.
Scalar Triple Product Meaning
The scalar triple product is a principle that we use to find the volume of a parallelepiped - a \(6-\)sided shape where each side is a parallelogram or a tetrahedron.
The cross multiplication of two vectors will result in a vector quantity, but the subsequent dot multiplication to find the scalar product will reduce the vectors down into a scalar value.
This is how we can calculate the volume of the shapes named above from three vectors- we get a single number at the end of the process.
You can recall the definition of vector quantity as follows.
A vector quantity is represented in terms of \(x,y,z\) and, as such, has three components to it. Vectors also have a definite magnitude and direction.
The definition of a scalar quantity is as follows.
A scalar quantity is a singular value that only has only magnitude. It has no direction.
Scalar Triple Product of Vectors
We know that vectors can be used to describe motion and are usually in the form of movement in the \(x,\, y,\, z\) directions. In vector form, these become \(\vec{i},\, \vec{j},\, \vec{k}\) respectively and with this notation, we can perform many operations on vectors.
To find the scalar triple product of three vectors you should be familiar with the principle of dot products and cross products and how they work. In case you aren't, you can check our articles on Scalar Products and Vector Product respectively for refreshers.
The scalar triple product is finding the dot product of a vector with the cross product of two vectors. This is a more complex methodology than the dot product of two, but the methodology is useful in finding volumes of certain shapes.
We find the vector product of the first two vectors first. This will lead to one vector that will be used in the dot product with the third vector. And this will lead to a scalar value.
Scalar Triple Product Formula
Consider three vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\), where,\[\vec{a}=a_1\vec{i}+a_2\vec{j}+a_3\vec{k},\]\[\vec{b}=b_1\vec{i}+b_2\vec{j}+b_3\vec{k},\] and \[\vec{c}=c_1\vec{i}+c_2\vec{j}+c_3\vec{k}.\] To find the scalar triple product of these vectors we must find the cross product of two of them and find the dot product of this result with the third vector. In mathematical notation, this looks like,\[\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{b}\times\vec{c}).\]This absolute value of this formula gives us the volume of a parallelepiped.
For the volume of a tetrahedron, the formula you would apply is \(\frac{1}{6}\left[|\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{b}\times\vec{c})|\right]\) when the vectors describe three non-coplanar sides of the shape.
From Vector Product we know that for the cross product of \(\vec{b}\times \vec{c}\) is given as,\[\vec{b}\times \vec{c}=(b_2c_3-b_3c_2)\vec{i}-(b_1c_3-b_3c_1)\vec{j}+(b_1c_2-b_2c_1)\vec{k}.\]If we then consider the scalar product of the result of the vector product and vector \(\vec{a}\) we get the formula for the scalar triple product,\[\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{b}\times\vec{c})=).\]
Scalar Triple Product Properties
As stated earlier, the scalar triple product is used to find the volume of a parallelepiped, but what does this actually mean?
If we consider the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) to be three non-parallel sides of a parallelepiped, we can conduct the scalar triple product formula to get a result for the volume of the shape.
When we are seeking to find the volume of shapes, the order we apply these vectors doesn't matter as long as the process is cyclic. This means:\[\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{b}\times\vec{c})=\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{c}\times\vec{a})=\vec{c}\cdot (\vec{a}\times\vec{b}).\]
Let's look into an example of this.
Show that \(\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{b}\times\vec{c})=\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{c}\times\vec{a})\) using the vectors below,
\[\vec{a}=5\vec{i}+2\vec{j}+6\vec{k},\]\[\vec{b}=-2\vec{i}+17\vec{j}+1\vec{k},\] and \[\vec{c}=8\vec{i}-5\vec{j}+13\vec{k}.\]
Solution
Using our general formula for \(\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{b}\times\vec{c})\),
We can then use the general formula again for \(\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{c}\times\vec{a})\), where we shift the letters- where there were \(a's\) there will now be \(b's\), \(b's\) will be replaced by \(c's\) and \(c's\) replaced by \(a's\). This will take the form, \[\begin{align}\vec{b}\cdot (\vec{c}\times\vec{a})&=b_1(c_2a_3-c_3a_2)+b_2(c_3a_1-c_1a_3)+b_3(c_1a_2-c_2a_1)\\&=-2[(-5\cdot6)-(13\cdot2)]+17[(13\cdot5)-(8\cdot6)]\\& \qquad+1[(8\cdot2)-(-5\cdot5)]\\&=-2(-56)+17(17)+1(41)\\&=112+289+41\\&=442.\end{align}\]
As you can see, the numbers through the process change, but as the process is cyclic, the end result is the same.
There is another property of the scalar triple product that hasn't yet been discussed- let's array our three vectors into a \(3\times 3\) matrix,\[\begin{bmatrix}a_1&a_2&a_3\\b_1&b_2&b_3\\c_1&c_2&c_3\end{bmatrix}\]
If you expand the above matrix, you should be getting the scalar triple product. Let's see how!
The scalar triple product is the same as the determinant of this matrix. For a refresher on why this is, see our article on Matrix Determinants.
The key takeaway here is that the minors and expansion of a \(3\times 3\) matrix determinant reflect the formula of the scalar triple product, so this may be an easier way to remember the process for you.
Let's look into an example to find the scalar triple product by expanding the determinant.
Find the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the coterminous edges given by vectors, \[\vec{a}=3\vec{i}-1\vec{j}-2\vec{k},\]\[\vec{b}=\vec{i}+3\vec{j}-2\vec{k},\] and \[\vec{c}=6\vec{i}-2\vec{j}+\vec{k}.\]
Solution
To find the volume of the parallelepiped, you should find the scalar triple product. Here you will find the scalar triple product by the determinant method.
Thus, the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the coterminous edges of the given vectors is \(50 \mbox{ units}^3\).
Please note that even if you get a negative determinant, you need to take the modulus of the scalar triple product to get the volume.
Also, there are many other properties of scalar triple products which are beyond the scope of Further Maths.
The scalar triple product is unchanged if we swap the positions of the operations without changing the positions of the vectors. \[\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{b}\times\vec{c})=(\vec{a}\times \vec{b})\cdot\vec{c}.\]
The scalar triple product negates if you swap any two of the three given vectors. \[\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{b}\times\vec{c})=-\vec{a}\cdot (\vec{c}\times\vec{b}).\]
The scalar triple product is zero if any of all the three given vectors are coplanar and vice versa.
Example of Scalar Triple Product
Let's start by looking at an example where we need to find the volume of a parallelepiped.
Find the volume of the parallelepiped with three non-parallel sides described by the vectors,\[\vec{a}=2\vec{i}+1\vec{j}-1\vec{k},\]\[\vec{b}=-5\vec{i}+14\vec{j}-7\vec{k},\] and \[\vec{c}=16\vec{i}-3\vec{j}+12\vec{k}.\]
Solution
We know that the volume of a parallelepiped is given as \(|\vec{a}\cdot(\vec{b}\times\vec{c})|\). Therefore:\[\begin{align}\mbox{Volume}&=|\vec{a}\cdot(\vec{b}\times\vec{c})|\\&=)|\\&=|2[(14\cdot12)-(-7\cdot-3)]+1[(-7\cdot16)-(-5\cdot12)]\\ &\quad \quad +(-1)[(-5\cdot-3)-(14\cdot16)]|\\&=451 \mbox{ units}^3.\end{align}\]
Let's now have a look at an example where we need to find the volume of a tetrahedron.
Find the volume of the tetrahedron with three non-coplanar sides described by the vectors, \[\vec{a}=-4\vec{i}+12\vec{j}+2\vec{k},\]\[\vec{b}=3\vec{i}+1\vec{j}-1\vec{k},\] and \[\vec{c}=4\vec{i}+3\vec{j}+2\vec{k}.\]
Solution
We know that the volume of a tetrahedron is given as \(\frac{1}{6}\left[\left|\vec{a}\cdot(\vec{b}\times\vec{c})\right|\right]\). Therefore,\[\begin{align}\mbox{Volume}&=\frac{1}{6}\left[\left|\vec{a}\cdot(\vec{b}\times\vec{c})\right|\right]\\&=\frac{1}{6}\bigg[\left)\right|\bigg]\\&=\frac{1}{6}\bigg[|(-4)[(1\cdot2)-(-1\cdot3)]+12[(-1\cdot4)-(3\cdot2)]\bigg.\\ \bigg. &\quad \quad +2[(3\cdot3)-(1\cdot4)]|\bigg]\\&=\frac{1}{6}\bigg[\left | -4(5)+12(-10)+2(5)\right |\bigg]\\&=\frac{1}{6}\cdot130\\&=\frac{65}{3} \mbox{ units}^3.\end{align}\]

If from a multiple of a magnitude by any number a multiple of the same magnitude by a less number be taken away, the remainder will be the same multiple of that magnitude that the difference of the numbers is of unity.
Let mA and nA be multiples of the magnitude A, by the numbers m and n, and let m be greater than n; mAnA contains A as oft as m-n contains unity, or mA-nA=(mn) A.
Let m―n=q; then m=n+q. Therefore (2. 5.) m A=nA+qA; take nA from both, and mA―nA=qA. Therefore mAnA contains A as oft as there are units in q, that is, in m—n, or mA—nA= (m- n) A. Therefore, &c. Q. E. D.
COR. When the difference of the two numbers is equal to unity, or m--n=1, then mA—nA=A.
PROP. A. THEOR.
If four magnitudes be proportionals, they are proportionals also when taken inversely.
If A: B:: C: D, then also B: A:: D: C.
Let mA and mC be any equimultiples of A and C; nB and nD any equimultiples of B and D. Then, because A: B::C: D, if mĂ be less than nB, mC will be less than nD (def, 5. 5.), that is, if nB be greater than mA, nD will be greater than mC. For the same reason, if nB=mA, nD=mC, and if nBmA, nD4mC. But nB, nD are any equimultiples of Band D, and mA, mC any equimultiples of A and C, therefore (def. 5. 5.), B: A::D: C. Therefore, &c. Q. E. D.
PROP. B. THEOR.
If the first be the same multiple of the second, or the same part of it, that the third is of the fourth; the first is to the second as the third to the fourth.
First, if mA, mB be equimultiples of the magnitudes A and B, mA: A::mB: B.
Take of mA and mB equimultiples by any number n; and of A and B equimultiples by any number p; these will be nmA (3. 5.), pA, nmB (3. 5.), pB. Now, if nmA be greater than pA, nm is also greater than p; and if nm is greater than p, nmB is greater than pB. therefore, when nmA is greater than pA, nmB is greater than pB. In the same manner, if ninA=pA, nmB=pB, and if nmApA, nmB ZpB Now, nmA, nmB are any equimultiples of mA and mB; and
pA, pB are any equimultiples of A and B, therefore mA : A :: mB : B (def. 5. 5.).
Next, Let C be the same part of A that D is of B; then A is the same multiple of C that B is of D, and therefore, as has been demonstrated, A CB: D, and inversely (A. 5.) C: A :: D: B. Therefore, &c. Q. E. D.
PROP. C. THEOR.
If the first be to the second as the third to the fourth; and if the first be a multiple or a part of the second, the third is the same multiple or the same part of the fourth.
Let A B C : D, and first let A be a multiple of B, C is the same multiple of D, that is, if A=mB, C=mD.
Take of A and C equimultiples by any number as 2, viz. 2A and 2C; and of B and D, take equimultiples by the number 2m, viz. 2mB, 2mD (3. 5.); then, because AmB, 2A=2mB; and since A: B :: C: D, and since 2A=2mB, therefore 2C=2mD (def. 5. 5.), and C=mD, that is, C contains Dm times, or as often as A contains B.
:
Next, Let A be a part of B, C is the same part of D. For, since A B C D, inversely (A. 5.), B: A :: D: C. But A being a part of B, B is a multiple of A, and therefore, as is shewn above, Dis the same multiple of Ĉ, and therefore C is the same part of D that A is of B. Therefore, &c. Q. E. D.
PROP. VII. THEOR.
Equal magnitudes have the same ratio to the same magnitude; and the same has the same ratio to equal magnitudes.
Let A and B be equal magnitudes, and C any other; A : C :: B :C. Let mA, mB, be any equimultiples of A and B ; and nC any multiple of C.
Because A=B, mA=mB (Ax. 1. 5.), wherefore, if mA be greater than nC, mB is greater than nC; and if mA=nC, mB=nC; or, if mA ▲nC, mB≤nč. But mA and mB are any equimultiples of A and B, and nC is any multiple of C, therefore (def. 5. 5.) A: C: B: C. Again, if A=B, C: A :: C: B; for, as has been proved, A: C:: B: C, and inversely (A. 5.), C: A:: C: B. Therefore, &c. Q. E. D.
Of unequal magnitudes, the greater has a greater ratio to the same than the less has; and the same magnitude has a greater ratio to the less than it has to the greater.
Let A+B be a magnitude greater than A, and C a third magnitude,
A+B has to C a greater ratio than A has to C; and C has a greater ratio to A than it has to A+B.
Let m be such a number that mA and mB are each of them greater than C ; and let nC be the least multiple of C that exceeds mA+mB; then nC-C, that is, (n-1)C (1. 5.) will be less than mA+mB, or mA+mB, that is, m(A+B) is greater than (n-1)C. But because nC is greater than mÀ+mB, and C less than mB, nC-C is greater than mA, or mA is less than nC-C, that is, than (n-1)C. Therefore the multiple of A+B by m exceeds the multiple of C by n-1, but the multiple of A by m does not exceed the multiple of C by n-1; therefore A+B has a greater ratio to C than A has to C (def. 7. 5.). Again, because the multiple of C by n-1, exceeds the multiple of A by m but does not exceed the multiple of A+B by m, C has a greater ratio to A than it has to A+B (def. 7. 5.). Therefore, &c. Q. E. D.
PROP. IX. THEOR.
Magnitudes which have the same ratio to the same magnitude are equal to one another; and those to which the same magnitude has the same ratio are equal to one another.
For, if not, let A be greater than B; then, because A is greater than B, two numbers, m and n, may be found, as in the last proposition, such that mA shall exceed nC, while mB does not exceed nC. But because A: C :: B: C; if mA exceed nC, mB must also exceed nC (def. 5. 5.); and it is also shewn that mB does not exceed nC, which is impossible. Therefore A is not greater than B; and in the same way it is demonstrated that B is not greater than A; therefore A is equal to B.
Next, let CA: C: B, A=B. For by inversion (A. 5.) A : C: BC; and therefore by the first case, A=B.
PROP. X. THEOR.
That magnitude, which has a greater ratio than another has to the same magnitude, is the greatest of the two: And that magnitude, to which the same has a greater ratio than it has to another magnitude, is the least of the two.
If the ratio of A to C be greater than that of B to C, A is greater than B.
Because A: C7B: C, two numbers m and n may be found, such that mA7nC, and mBnC (def. 7. 5.). Therefore also mA7mB, and A7B (Ax. 4. 5.).
Again, let C: B7C: A: BLA. For two numbers, m and n may be found, such that mC7nB, and mCnA (def. 7. 5.). Therefore, since nB is less, and nA greater than the same magnitude mC, nBnA, and therefore BA. Therefore, &c. Q. E. D.
PROP. XI. THEOR.
Ratios that are equal to the same ratio are equal to one another.
If A B C D; and also C: DE: F; theu A: B:: E: F. Take mA, mC mE, any equimultiples of A, C, and E; and nB, nD, F any equimultiples of B, D, and F. Because A: B:: C: D, if MA7nB, mC7nD (def. 5. 5.); but if mC7nD. mE7nF (def. 5. 5.), because CD: E: F; therefore if mA7nB, mE7nF. In the same manner, if mA=nB, mE=nF; and if mAnB, mEZnF. Now, mA, mE are any equimultiples whatever of A and E; and B, nF any whatever of B and F; therefore A: B: E: F (def. 5. 5.). Therefore, &c. Q. E. D.
PROP. XII. THEOR.
If any number of magnitudes be proportionals, as one of the antecedentsis to its consequent, so are all the antecedents, taken together, to all the consequents.
If A: B:: C: D, and C: D:: E: F; then also, A : B :: A+C +E: B+D+F.
Take mA, mC, mE any equimultiples of A, C, and E; and nB, nD, nF, any equimultiples of B, D, and F. Then, because A: B:: C: D, if mA7nB, mC7nD (def. 5. 5.); and when mC7nD, mE7nF, because CD:: E: F. Therefore, if mA7nB, mA+mC+mE7nB+ D+nF: In the same manner, if mAnB, mA+mC+mE÷nB+nD +nF; and if mAnB, mA+mC+mE2nB+nD+nF. Now, mA+ mC+mE=m(A+C+E) (Cor. 1. 5.), so that mA and mA+mC+mE are any equimultiples of A, and of A+C+E. And for the same reason nB, and nB+nD+nF are any equimultiples of B, and of B+D+F; therefore (def. 5. 5.) A: B:: A+C+E B+D+F. Therefore &c. Q. E. D.

If the first have to the second the same ratio which the third has to the fourth, but the third to the fourth a greater ratio than the fifth has to the sixth; the first has also to the second a greater ratio than the fifth has to the sixth.
If the first have to the second the same ratio which the third has to the fourth, and if the first be greater than the third, the second shall be greater than the fourth; if equal, equal; and if less, less.
If magnitudes, taken jointly, be proportionals, they will also be proportionals when taken separately; that is, if the first, together with the second. have to the second the same ratio which the third, together with the fourth, has to the fourth, the first will have to the second the same ratio which the third has to the fourth. | 677.169 | 1 |
Circles and Polygons: Understanding Geometry Concepts for Math Support
Welcome to our article on the fundamental concepts of geometry - circles and polygons. Whether you are a student struggling with math or simply looking to refresh your knowledge, this article is here to help. We will break down these essential geometric shapes and provide a comprehensive understanding of their properties and relationships. So, grab a pen and paper, get comfortable, and let's dive into the world of circles and polygons together.
By the end of this article, you will have a solid foundation in geometry that will support your learning in math and beyond. Let's get started!First, let's define what circles and polygons are. A circle is a shape that has no corners or edges. It is made up of points that are all equidistant from the center.
On the other hand, a polygon is a closed shape with straight sides. Some common examples of polygons are triangles, squares, and rectangles. Now that we have a basic understanding, let's dive deeper into how circles and polygons relate to geometry. Circles play a significant role in geometry as they are the basis for many geometric concepts and calculations. The center of a circle is known as its origin, and the distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius.
This distance is crucial when calculating the circumference, area, and other properties of circles. Polygons, on the other hand, are essential in geometry as they are used to construct more complex shapes and figures. They can be regular or irregular, depending on whether their sides and angles are equal or not. Regular polygons, such as equilateral triangles and squares, have equal sides and angles, making them easier to work with in mathematical calculations. Understanding circles and polygons is crucial for mastering geometry and excelling in math. They can be used to solve various problems and can provide a visual representation of mathematical concepts.
For example, the radius of a circle can be used to determine the diameter, which is simply twice the length of the radius. In addition to their practical uses in geometry, circles and polygons also have real-world applications. Circles can be found in nature, such as in the shape of planets and fruits like oranges and apples. Polygons can be seen in buildings and structures, such as triangles in roof designs and rectangles in windows and doors. If you're struggling with understanding circles and polygons or need help improving your math skills, there are plenty of resources available. You can find online tutorials, practice problems, and even seek out a tutor to guide you through the concepts.
It's essential to practice and familiarize yourself with circles and polygons to build a strong foundation in geometry and math. In conclusion, circles and polygons are fundamental shapes in geometry that are used to represent and solve various mathematical problems. They are related to each other, with circles forming the basis for many geometric calculations and polygons being used to construct more complex figures. By understanding these shapes and their properties, you can improve your math skills and excel in geometry. So next time you see a circle or polygon, remember their significance in the world of mathematics!

These can be especially helpful for tactile learners who benefit from hands-on activities. Lastly, don't underestimate the power of a good old-fashioned textbook. There are many geometry textbooks available that cover circles and polygons in depth, with plenty of practice problems to reinforce your learning.
The Relationship Between Circles and Polygons
In geometry, circles and polygons are two of the most fundamental shapes. While they may seem different at first glance, they are actually closely related in many ways. In this section, we'll explore the connections between these two shapes. Both circles and polygons are made up of straight lines and curves.
A circle is a shape with no straight lines, only one continuous curved line, while a polygon is a shape with multiple straight lines connected to form a closed shape. However, if you were to connect all the vertices of a polygon, you would create a circle. This shows the underlying similarity between these two shapes. Another important aspect to consider is the concept of symmetry. Both circles and regular polygons exhibit symmetry, with a circle being infinitely symmetrical and regular polygons having multiple axes of symmetry.
This makes them both useful in various mathematical operations and constructions. Furthermore, understanding circles and polygons can also help in solving problems involving angles, area, and perimeter. For example, knowing the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter can aid in finding the area of a circle or the length of an arc. Similarly, understanding the properties of regular polygons can be helpful in calculating their areas and perimeters. Overall, circles and polygons are closely intertwined in geometry, with each shape providing valuable insights and tools for solving mathematical problems. By understanding their relationship, students can enhance their understanding of geometry concepts and improve their math skills.
Tips and Techniques for Solving Problems Involving Circles and Polygons
When it comes to solving math problems, having a solid understanding of circles and polygons is essential.
These geometric shapes are commonly used in math problems, especially in geometry, and knowing how to work with them will greatly improve your problem-solving abilities. One of the most important techniques for solving problems involving circles and polygons is understanding their properties and relationships. For circles, this means knowing the formulas for finding the circumference and area, as well as understanding concepts such as diameter, radius, and chord. For polygons, it's crucial to know the formulas for finding perimeter and area, as well as understanding their types (e.g. regular vs irregular) and properties (e.g.
angles, sides).Another useful tip is to break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts. This can be especially helpful when dealing with polygons, where it may be easier to find the perimeter or area of individual shapes before combining them to solve for the entire polygon. Finally, practice makes perfect. The more you work with circles and polygons, the more comfortable you will become in solving problems involving them. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself with different types of problems or seek out additional resources such as practice worksheets or online tutorials. By using these tips and techniques, you can improve your ability to solve math problems involving circles and polygons.
Remember to always approach these problems with a clear understanding of the concepts and properties involved, break them down into smaller parts if needed, and practice regularly to strengthen your skills. With dedication and perseverance, you'll soon become a pro at handling any math problem involving circles and polygons!In conclusion, circles and polygons are important concepts in geometry that can greatly benefit your math skills and understanding. By mastering these shapes, you'll not only improve your problem-solving abilities but also gain a deeper appreciation for the world of mathematics. | 677.169 | 1 |
Polygons
The word polygon has Greek roots and means "many sides" or "many
angles." A polygon is one of many plane shapes, which are defined as
figures that are closed, flat, and 2-dimensional having length and
width but no depth. Polygons are drawn using straight line segments
that only meet at their endpoints. Shapes that don't close, are not
straight line segments or do meet at points other than endpoints are
not classified as polygons.
Take a look at the examples below of shapes that are and are not
categorized as polygons:
It's good to note that while not all closed shapes are polygons, all
polygons are closed shapes.
Names and sides of polygons
As you get to know more about polygons, it's good to learn their
names and sides since they play a major role in how you can identify
them. Every line segment in a polygon is known as a side. You can
identify polygons by the number of line segments or sides they
contain. For example, a pentagon is a polygon that has five sides
("penta" means "five" or "having five" and "-gon" refers to the
number of sides or angles).
Here is a quick overview of polygon names and their sides:
Name
Number of Sides
Triangle
3
Quadrilateral
4
Pentagon
5
Hexagon
6
Heptagon
7
Octagon
8
Nonagon
9
Decagon
10
Hendecagon (or Undecagon, or Unidecagon)
11
Dodecagon
12
n -gon
n
Are you confused about the n -gon? It's less confusing than you
might think. You might have noticed that, with the exception of the
triangle and
quadrilateral, all of the polygons listed above end in -gon. In truth, the
triangle is also called a trigon, and the quadrilateral is also
called a tetragon.
As mentioned previously, the suffix "-gon" refers to the side/angle
while its prefix identifies the number. So, using the example of the
pentagon, another way to write it would be 5-gon. If you want to
write heptagon similarly, you can write it as 7-gon since it has
seven sides. The triangle, or trigon, can be referred to as 3-gon
for its three sides. And the quadrilateral, or tetragon, can be
referred to as 4-gon. The term n -gon refers to a polygon with n
sides. In this case, the n can refer to any integer.
Classifying polygons
Polygons fall under a variety of classifications based on their
sides and angles. Here are six polygon classifications:
Regular polygons: All interior angles and sides of regular
polygons are
congruent
(identical in form). An example of a regular polygon would
be an equilateral triangle or
square.
Irregular polygons: Sides and angles of irregular polygons
are not congruent. Examples of irregular polygons include
rectangles,
parallelograms, and right triangles.
Convex polygons: Every interior angle of a convex polygon is
less than 180 degrees. An example of a convex polygon would
be a pentagon.
Concave polygons: At least one interior angle of a concave
polygon is greater than 180 degrees. A five-pointed star is
an example of a concave polygon.
Simple polygons: The sides of simple polygons don't
intersect themselves and don't have holes. A square or

How many types of polyhedra are there?
How many types of polyhedra are there?
Polyhedra are mainly divided into two types – regular polyhedron and irregular polyhedron. A regular polyhedron is also called a platonic solid whose faces are regular polygons and are congruent to each other.
There are four main types of prisms: dispersion prisms, deviation, or reflection prisms, rotation prisms, and displacement prisms.
Why are there only 5 types of polyhedrons?
In a nutshell: it is impossible to have more than 5 platonic solids, because any other possibility violates simple rules about the number of edges, corners and faces we can have together.
What are the examples of regular solid?
The simplest regular solid is the tetrahedron, made of four identical triangles. It looks a lot like a pyramid, but has a triangle rather than a square for its base. Altogether there are only five regular solids. The remaining three are the octahedron, the dodecahedron, and the icosahedron.
Why are there only five regular polyhedra?
Are all regular polyhedra convex?
A polyhedron is said to be regular if its faces and vertex figures are regular (not necessarily convex) polygons (Coxeter 1973, p. 16). Using this definition, there are a total of nine regular polyhedra, five being the convex Platonic solids and four being the concave (stellated) Kepler-Poinsot solids.
How many types of regular polyhedra are there?
There are five types of convex regular polyhedra–the regular tetrahedron, cube, regular octahedron, regular dodecahedron, and regular icosahedron. Since the numbers of faces of the regular polyhedra are 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20, respectively, the answer is Which Platonic solid is this? Which Platonic solid is (are) not pictured here?
How big of a template do you need to make polyhedra?
This means that some of the polyhedra turn out very large, and take several sheets of paper. The largest one requires seven pages of template and is roughly nine inches in diameter when completed. Start by making the Platonic solids and the smaller Archimedeans first. The larger ones are trickier to cut out and assemble.
Are there any Archimedean semi regular polyhedra for free?
Archimedean polyhedra Here are templates for making paper models for each of the 5 Platonic solidsand the 13 Archimedean semi-regular polyhedra. You are free to use them for any non-commercialpurpose, as long as the copyright notice on each page is retained. Here's a complete set of the Archimedean polyhedra:
What kind of polyhedra are the Platonic solids?
There are many different types of polyhedra. The two most recognized groups are the platonic solids and the Archimedean solids. The five platonic solids consists of polyhedra that are constructed by congruent, regular polygons. Also, the figures formed at each vertex must be congruent, regular polygons. | 677.169 | 1 |

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pythagorean theorem has one primary formula: a² + b² = c², where 'c' is the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle. There are no alternative "formulas" for the Pythagorean theorem; it is a single mathematical relationship.
To solve for 'A' or 'B' in the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²), rearrange the formula: - To solve for 'A,' isolate 'A' by subtracting b² from c² and then taking the square root. - To solve for 'B,' isolate 'B' by subtracting a² from c² and then taking the square root. | 677.169 | 1 |

Angle Sum in Triangles Proof using Rotation and a Parallel Line
Activity Overview
This investigation uses Cabri Jr. and a cleaver rotation of a triangle to "prove" that the angles in a triangle add up to 180. This could be used to reinforce triangles and paralled lines as well as introduce the concept of rotating an object.
Before the Activity
Print out and review the word document Angle Sum Measurement. This is an easy construction and the investgation may only take 20 minutes or 45 minutes depending on the students familarity with Cabri Jr
During the Activity
The student will know that the angles in a triangle add up to 180. The point of this investigation is get them to "prove" it by realizing that after the rotation the three angles by point A are the three diffenent angles of the triangle. Since the three angles add up to a straight line, the sum must always be 180.
After the Activity
The Cabri Jr file (app var) attached demonstrate another way to do the rotation using angles in circles. The rotation is controled by moving the central angle in the circle. This file has a separate circle for each rotation and can make a nice demonstration | 677.169 | 1 |

Welcome to this tutorial on calculating the tangent angle of a road spiral or transition curve! In the field of engineering, road design and transportation, transition curves are used to provide a smooth transition between straight sections and circular curves of a road. The tangent angle is a critical parameter in defining the geometry of a road spiral. This tutorial will introduce the concept of the tangent angle, discuss interesting facts about road spirals, explain the formula involved, provide a real-life example, and guide you through the calculation process step by step.
Interesting Facts
Before we delve into the calculation, let's explore some interesting facts about road spirals:
Road spirals, also known as transition curves, are used in road design to smoothly transition from a straight section to a curved section of the road.
Transition curves help to reduce the discomfort and hazards associated with sudden changes in curvature.
They provide a gradual change in curvature, allowing drivers to navigate curves more comfortably and safely.
Road spirals are commonly used in highways, railways, and other transportation systems.
The tangent angle is a fundamental parameter in defining the geometry of a road spiral.
Formula Explanation
The calculation of the tangent angle of a road spiral involves understanding the radius of curvature and the length of the spiral. The formula for calculating the tangent angle is:
θ = arctan(L ÷ R)
Where:
θ is the tangent angle (in radians or degrees).
L is the length of the spiral (in meters or feet).
R is the radius of curvature (in meters or feet).
Real-Life Application
The calculation of the tangent angle of a road spiral has practical applications in road design and transportation engineering.
Let's consider an example: Suppose we have a road spiral with a length of 300 meters and a radius of curvature of 1000 meters. We want to calculate the tangent angle of this road spiral.
Using the formula, we can calculate:
θ = arctan(L ÷ R) = arctan(300 m ÷ 1000 m)
Therefore, the tangent angle of this road spiral would be:
θ ≈ 0.291 radians (or approximately 16.68 degrees)
Hence, the tangent angle of this road spiral is approximately 0.291 radians (or approximately 16.68 degrees).
In real-life applications, the tangent angle calculation is essential for determining the geometry of road spirals. Road designers use this information to create smooth and safe transitions between straight sections and curved sections of a road. By accurately calculating the tangent angle, engineers can ensure that drivers can navigate curves comfortably, minimizing the risk of accidents and improving overall road safety.
The tangent angle of a road spiral plays a crucial role in road design and transportation engineering. By calculating the tangent angle, engineers can determine the appropriate geometry and alignment of the transition curve. This information helps in designing roads that provide a smooth and gradual transition between straight sections and curves, allowing drivers to maintain better control and stability.
In addition to safety considerations, the tangent angle also influences the aesthetics and visual quality of the road design. Transition curves with well-defined tangent angles create visually pleasing and harmonious road alignments. This aspect is especially important in scenic areas, urban environments, and areas with architectural significance, where road design plays a vital role in preserving the overall visual appeal.
The calculation of the tangent angle also aids in optimizing the performance of transportation systems. For example, in railway track design, tangent angles are used to determine the curvature of the tracks and ensure a smooth transition for trains. By accurately calculating the tangent angle, engineers can minimize the lateral forces acting on the trains, reduce wear and tear on the tracks, and enhance passenger comfort during curve negotiation.
To summarize, the calculation of the tangent angle of a road spiral involves using the formula:
θ = arctan(L ÷ R)
where θ represents the tangent angle, L is the length of the spiral, and R is the radius of curvature. By applying this formula, engineers can design road spirals that provide safe and comfortable transitions between straight sections and curves.
We hope you found this tutorial on the road spiral/transition curve tangent angle calculator informative and helpful. Remember to use the arctan function when calculating the tangent angle. By understanding and optimizing the tangent angle, engineers can design roadways that enhance driver comfort, improve road safety, and create visually pleasing transportation corridors.

Example Questions
Example Question #4 : Triangles
Points A and B lie on a circle centered at Z, where central angle <AZB measures 140°. What is the measure of angle <ZAB?
25°
20°
30°
Cannot be determined from the given information
15°
20°
Because line segments ZA and ZB are radii of the circle, they must have the same length. That makes triangle ABZ an isosceles triangle, with <ZAB and <ZBA having the same measure. Because the three angles of a triangle must sum to 180°, you can express this in the equation:
140 + 2x = 180 –> 2x = 40 –> x = 20
Example Question #5 : Triangles
Triangle FGH has equal lengths for FG and GH; what is the measure of ∠F, if ∠G measures 40 degrees?
140 degrees
70 degrees
None of the other answers
100 degrees
40 degrees
70 degrees
It's good to draw a diagram for this; we know that it's an isosceles triangle; remember that the angles of a triangle total 180 degrees.
Angle G for this triangle is the one angle that doesn't correspond to an equal side of the isosceles triangle (opposite side to the angle), so that means ∠F = ∠H, and that ∠F + ∠H + 40 = 180,
By substitution we find that ∠F * 2 = 140 and angle F = 70 degrees.
Example Question #6 : Triangles

Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Isosceles Triangle
An isosceles triangle has a base angle that is six more than three times the vertex angle. What is the base angle?
Every triangle has 180 degrees. An isosceles triangle has one vertex angle and two congruent base angles.
Let = vertex angle and = base angle.
Then the equation to solve becomes
or
.
Solving for gives a vertex angle of 24 degrees and a base angle of 78 degrees.
Example Question #2 : How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Isosceles Triangle
The base angle of an isosceles triangle is thirteen more than three times the vertex angle. What is the difference between the vertex angle and the base angle?
Every triangle has . An isosceles triangle has one vertex ange, and two congruent base angles.
Let be the vertex angle and be the base angle.
The equation to solve becomes , since the base angle occurs twice.
Now we can solve for the vertex angle.
The difference between the vertex angle and the base angle is .
Example Question #3 : How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Isosceles Triangle
A particular acute isosceles triangle has an internal angle measuring . Which of the following must be the other two angles?
By definition, an acute isosceles triangle will have at least two sides (and at least two corresponding angles) that are congruent, and no angle will be greater than . Addtionally, like all triangles, the three angles will sum to . Thus, of our two answers which sum to , only is valid, as would violate the "acute" part of the definition.
Example Question #4 : How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Isosceles Triangle
Because the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°, we can create an equation using the variables given in the problem: x+2x+(3x+30)=180. This simplifies to 6X+30=180. When we subtract 30 from both sides, we get 6x=150. Then, when we divide both sides by 6, we get x=25. Because Angle B=2x degrees, we multiply 25 times 2. Thus, Angle B is equal to 50°. If you got an answer of 25, you may have forgotten to multiply by 2. If you got 105, you may have found Angle C instead of Angle B. | 677.169 | 1 |

Dimensional Analytical Geometry-II
"Divide each
difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it"
- René Descartes
Introduction
Analytical Geometry of two dimension is used to describe geometric
objects such as point, line, circle, parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola using Cartesian coordinate
system.Two thousand years ago
(≈ 2− 1 BC (BCE)), the ancient Greeks studied conic curves, because studying them elicited ideas
that were exciting, challenging, and interesting. They could not have imagined
the applications of these curves in the later centuries.
Solving problems by the method of Analytical Geometry was
systematically developed in the first half of the 17th century majorly, by
Descartes and also by other great mathematicians like Fermat, Kepler, Newton,
Euler, Leibniz, l'Hôpital, Clairaut, Cramer, and the Jacobis.
Analytic Geometry grew out of need for establishing algebraic techniques for solving geometrical problems and the development in
this area has conquered industry, medicine, and scientific research.
The theory of Planetary motions developed by Johannes Kepler, the
German mathematician cum physicist stating that all the planets in the solar
system including the earth are moving in elliptical orbits with Sun at one of a
foci, governed by inverse square law paved way to established work in Euclidean
geometry. Euler applied the co-ordinate method in a systematic study of space
curves and surfaces, which was further developed by Albert Einstein in his
theory of relativity.
Applications in various fields encompassing gears, vents in dams, wheels and circular geometry
leading to trigonometry as application based on properties of circles; arches,
dish, solar cookers, head-lights, suspension bridges, and search lights as application based
on properties of parabola; arches, Lithotripsy in the field of Medicine, whispering galleries, Ne-de-yag lasers and
gears as application based on properties of ellipse; and telescopes, cooling
towers, spotting
locations of
ships or aircrafts as application based on properties of hyperbola, to name a
few.

Solution
The correct option is C140o The given figure is as follows:
Here, OB=OC= radius of the circle ∴△OBC is a isosceles triangle. ⇒∠OBC=∠OCB=50o
From interior angle sum property for △OBC, ∠BOC=180o−50o−50o=80o
We know, the angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a cirlce is double the angle subtended by the arc at any point on the circle. ∴∠BOC=2×∠BAC ⇒∠BAC=80o2=40o
From interior angle sum property for △ABC, ∠ABC+∠ACB=180o−∠BAC ⇒∠ABC+∠ACB=180o−40o=140o | 677.169 | 1 |
Consider I have two intersecting planes with an angle ($\theta$). I have two intersecting vectors ($\vec a$ and $\vec b$) on one of the planes that make an angle ($\gamma$). If I project these two vectors onto the other plane, what the projected angle ($\alpha$) between the projected vectors ($\vec a \prime$ and $\vec b \prime$) would be (as a function of the other angles)?
$\begingroup$A straightforward approach is to simply project the vectors onto the other plane and compute the angle between their images. Since the projection of a unit circle is an ellipse, you might be able to come up with a formula using the relationship between polar angle and parametric angle (that you can find here), but I expect it'll be significantly more complicated than the first suggestion.$\endgroup$
$\begingroup$I happened to ask the same question without seeing this post: math.stackexchange.com/questions/4012266/…. Please check the answer there; there is a factor of two missing in $\gamma$ and $\alpha$ here.$\endgroup$
$\begingroup$@ap21 This is because the solution given to you by Vasily Mitch uses the same method I did - falling back onto carthesian coordinates, which means 90 deg angles to solve the problem - while your original problem involves an arbitrary angle symmetrically arranged around the plane that cuts perpendicular through both planes (the ones the angle is being projected from and the one the angle is projected onto). This problem here already involved one of the angles lines to sit on that symmetrical plane, which Vasily Mitch had to generate for your use case. There is no discrepancy.$\endgroup$
Here I found the answer. I'm not just good in explaining details but to give you a vision of how I solved it, I actually drew two new planes that each of which included one vector from the initial plane and its proper projection from the second plane. These two new planes intersect at the point where all four vectors and the two initial planes intersect. It's easy to notice that the angle between the new planes is equal to $\alpha$ and they both are perpendicular to the second plane. By applying some extra projections and doing some minor calculations, I finally reached to the answer which is shown below;
We know that for ($\theta \to 0$) $\Rightarrow$ ($\gamma \to \alpha$), since both planes overlap.
And for ($\theta \to \pi/2$) $\Rightarrow$ ($\gamma \to 0$), since both vectors $(\vec a$ and $\vec b$) overlap. This result actually stems from an additional assumption that I made, which was I assumed $\alpha$ to remain constant (since in my actual problem it's constant), though without this assumption the final result should be the same. to open a bit this last concept, note that when ($\theta \to \pi/2$) $\Rightarrow$ ($\alpha \to \pi$) which returns the following result;
$\cos(\gamma/2)=\frac{0}{0}$ $\Rightarrow$ $0\le \gamma=cte \le \pi$
which comes from the fact that $\gamma$ can possess any value independent of the actual angle between the initial plane and its projected plane ($\theta$). | 677.169 | 1 |

How to Find Cosine: A Step-by-Step Guide
Introduction
Cosine is a fundamental mathematical function that is used in numerous fields, including physics, engineering, and mathematics. In this article, we will explore what cosine is, why it is important to know how to find cosine, and provide a detailed guide on its applications and methods for finding it.
Detailed Introduction to Cosine Function
The cosine function is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle. It is a periodic function that oscillates between -1 and 1 with a period of 2π. The cosine function is also an even function, which means that its graph is symmetric about the y-axis. Properties of the cosine function include being continuous, differentiable, and infinitely many times.
The cosine function finds vast applications in various fields, including physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. It is used to describe waveforms, reflections, oscillations, and vibrations in mechanical and electrical systems. The cosine function is also used to analyze and model periodic phenomena in many scientific and engineering applications.
Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Cosine
To find cosine, you will need to know the lengths of two sides of a right triangle: the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. The steps involved in finding cosine are as follows:
Identify the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of the right triangle.
Divide the length of the adjacent side by the length of the hypotenuse side.
This gives you the value of cosine, which is a ratio between 0 and 1.
To find the angle whose cosine is the given value, use the inverse cosine function or cosine^-1.
For example, if a right triangle has an adjacent side of 4 units and a hypotenuse of 5 units, the cosine of the angle is 4/5 or 0.8. The inverse cosine or cos^-1 of 0.8 is approximately 36.9 degrees.
You can also use a scientific calculator to find the cosine of an angle. First, press the cosine button on your calculator, and then enter the value of the angle in degrees or radians. The calculator will return the value of the cosine of the given angle.
For instance, in physics, the cosine function is used to describe waveforms, oscillations, and vibrations. In acoustics, the cosine function is used to analyze the pressure waves generated by sound sources. In navigation, the cosine function is used to determine the position of a receiver by measuring the time delay between the reception of signals from different satellites.
Graphical Approach to Finding Cosine
Another method of finding cosine is by using graphs. A graphical approach is useful when you do not know the lengths of the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of a right triangle. The steps involved in the graphical approach are as follows:
Draw a right triangle with one of the angles marked as θ.
Draw a unit circle centered at the origin of the cartesian plane that intersects the x-axis at (1,0).
Draw a line from the origin to the point (cos θ, sin θ) on the unit circle.
The length of this line corresponds to the value of cosine.
Comparison of Different Techniques for Finding Cosine Using Graphs
Using graphs is a visual and intuitive method of finding the cosine function. However, it is not always an accurate method, especially when using small graphs. Using a scientific calculator is more accurate when dealing with precise values of cosine. Nevertheless, both techniques can complement each other and help you to have a more comprehensive understanding of the cosine function.
Common Mistakes while Finding Cosine
When finding cosine, many people make mistakes, such as:
Using sine instead of cosine or vice versa.
Forgetting to divide the adjacent side by the hypotenuse when finding cosine.
Forgetting to use the inverse cosine function when finding the angle whose cosine is the given value.
To avoid these mistakes, you should always double-check your calculations and ensure that you are using the correct function for the operation you intend to perform.
Interactive Approach
Test your knowledge of the cosine function by taking the interactive quiz below:
[Insert an interactive quiz or link to an external source]
Q&A Format
Here are some commonly asked questions when struggling with understanding the cosine function:
Q: What is the relation between cosine and sine?
A: Cosine and sine are both trigonometric functions. They are related by the Pythagorean identity, which states that the sum of the squares of the cosine and sine of an angle is always equal to 1.
Q: How does one interpret the value of cosine?
A: The cosine function represents the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. It is a value between -1 and 1.
Q: What are some practical applications of cosine in physics?
A: In physics, cosine is used in solving mathematical problems and modeling periodic phenomena such as waveforms, oscillations, and vibrations. It also finds applications in acoustics, electromagnetism, and other fields of research.

Laying out a Prolate EllipseThe layout for a prolate ellipse dome is a bit tricky. Obviously, when laying out a circle you simply drive a stake in the middle, measure out the radius and go around in a circle.
But when you are laying out a prolate ellipse, you have to have two points at what are called the foci (F1 and F2 on the diagram). The foci are along the center line of the prolate. Then you have to put a measuring device, like a tape attached to these foci, at the right distance. Finally, with a pencil, a pen or a screw driver you simply pull that tape around in a full circle and it will mark out the edges of the prolate.
Instructions for Laying out a Prolate Ellipse on the Ground
Verify distance between the end points of the major axis
Calculate x
Locate the center of the long axis
Measure from center along the axis using calculation of x to points F1 and F2
Stake F1 and F2 on the major axis
Attach a non stretchable tape between F1 and F2 that is exactly the length of the major axis
At the center of the tape pulled to either side of A axis will be end points of B axis
Measure length of B axis for check
Use rod or pencil in loop of tape to trace the outline of the prolate ellipse
Remember the definition of an ellipse is that every point on the perimeter will be at the sum of the distance from F1 and F2 when added. The added numbers will be equal to the length of A axis | 677.169 | 1 |

Such definitions regarding corners applications de rencontre gratuites pour iphone simply make an application for $0 \leq \theta \leq \pi/2$ . A whole lot more generally, if we connect people position drawn in the new counter clockwise guidance to the $x$ -axis with a spot $(x,y)$ towards device community, upcoming we could extend such meanings – the point $(x,y)$ is also $(\cos(\theta), \sin(\theta))$ .
An angle within the radian measure represents a spot to the unit community, whoever coordinates determine the fresh new sine and you can cosine of angle.
The new trigonometric characteristics for the Julia
A few correct triangles – usually the one that have equivalent, $\pi/4$ , angles; plus the you to definitely with angles $\pi/6$ and you may $\pi/3$ have this new ratio of their corners determined of first geometry. Specifically, this can lead to the second philosophy, that are usually committed to memories:
If the perspective $\theta$ represents a point $(x,y)$ towards the unit system, then spinning of the $\pi$ movements the what to $(-x, -y)$ . Thus $\cos(\theta) = x = – \cos(\theta + \pi)$ , and you will $\sin(\theta) = y = -\sin(\theta + \pi)$ .
If your direction $\theta$ represents a time $(x,y)$ to your device system, after that spinning by the $\pi/2$ moves new items to $(-y, x)$ . So $\cos(\theta) = x = \sin(\theta + \pi/2)$ .
The fact $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ into product system causes the "Pythagorean term" to have trigonometric attributes:
Which basic fact would be controlled different ways. Such as for instance, dividing courtesy because of the $\cos(\theta)^2$ gives the related title: $\tan(\theta)^2 + step one = \sec(\theta)^2$ .
These are floating-point approximations, as well as be seen demonstrably within the last worth. A symbol math can be utilized in the event the exactness issues:
For extremely higher viewpoints, bullet off error can enjoy a massive part. Like, the specific value of $\sin(1000000 \pi)$ try $0$, nevertheless the came back worthy of is not a bit $0$ sin(1_100000_one hundred thousand * pi) = -dos.231912181360871e-ten . To own right multiples of $\pi$ which have large multiples the latest sinpi and you will cospi properties are of help.
(Each other properties try determined because of the very first using their periodicity to reduce the fresh new state so you're able to a smaller sized position. But not, to possess large multiples the floating-section roundoff gets an issue with common features.)

Vector Rotation: Techniques and Formulas
Rotating a vector Here's the problem: Let v denote a vector that has initial position v1 and final position v2.We know these two numbers. Now suppose we rotate v counterclockwise by an angletheta. The result is a new vector, denoted by w, that also has initial position v1 and finalposition v2. Let's say that we rotate vector v by an angle theta. If we do this, our new vector becomesw. The problem we are going to discuss is how to find w. Time for a warmup with a bit of cases. There is a vector v that points in the x direction. V1 comma 0. So, there we have it. V1 and a comma 0. And then when we rotate v, we get anothervector, w. OK, so what's w? This is actually very similar to problems we've solved beforebecause we know this angle, theta, and we know the length of w. The length of w is equalto its starting point, so it's v1. The length of w equals to the length of v, which is v1. Nowwe want to find the components of w. The first component is v1 times the sine of theta, andthe second component is v1 times the cosine of theta. This is it. What if in the second case, let's assume that v is in the y-direction rather than in thex-direction. So v is 0 comma v2. Thus, there is a vector v. We can rotate this vector by an angle θ and obtain a new vectorw. Please find w. | 677.169 | 1 |
1.4 Theorems and Postulates
In this lesson I will introduce you to theorems and postulates. By the time you finish geometry you will have learned and studied many, many, many theorems and postulates. So, let me give you a quick definition on both of them- let's start with postulates first. A postulate is a mathematical law that we can't prove but we accept on faith. For example, the idea that two parallel lines never cross is a postulate- we accept this as fact but in mathematics we actually can't prove this. You maybe thinking that you can prove two parallel lines never intersect but if you put your arguments into a mathematical proof you would not be able to prove it. Just as a side note, famous mathematicians have tried to come up with a parallel line proof for hundreds and hundreds of years- so if you can prove it great! However just because we can't absolutely prove that parallel lines will never intersect we believe it anyway and turn our belief into a mathematical law. Now, that you have a sense of what a postulate is we can now define a theorem. A theorem is simply a mathematical property or law that we can prove using postulates and logic. Let's take a look at the lesson so you can start learning your first postulates and theorems in geometry.

Here, we have been asked to find an angle that is external to the triangle.
We need to put two rules we know together here - if we extend the base of the triangle we have a straight line.
What facts do we know about straight lines?
The angles on a straight line will also add up to 180°, so we can use this fact to find the missing exterior angle.
So angle c = 180 - 45 = 135º
Right then, let's put what we know into action now!
In this activity, we will use the key fact, that angles in a triangle always add to 180°, to find the value of unknown angles in triangles, identify triangles accurately and solve problems involving triangles | 677.169 | 1 |
Band 4/5 Response 1
The response demonstrates knowledge and understanding of aspects of basic arithmetic and algebra, trigonometric ratios, and integration. It uses logical reasoning and arithmetic and algebraic manipulation skills in the solution of problems.

What does angle angle mean?

The Angle Angle Side postulate (often abbreviated as AAS) states that if two angles and the non-included side one triangle are congruent to two angles and the non-included side of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
People also ask, what is the definition of angle side angle?
The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. (The included side is the side between the vertices of the two angles.)
Secondly, what is Angle math definition? Angle. Definition: A shape, formed by two lines or rays diverging from a common point (the vertex).
Accordingly, can you prove angle angle side?
AAS Postulate (Angle-Angle-Side) If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What does angle side angle look like?
An included angle or side is physically between the others in the triangle. So Side Angle Side (SAS) means one side, the angle next to that side, and then the side next to that angle. If corresponding parts are congruent for those three parts, the two triangles are congruent.
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. Converse also true: If a transversal intersects two lines and the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
"ASA" means "Angle, Side, Angle" "ASA" is when we know two angles and a side between the angles. To solve an ASA Triangle. find the third angle using the three angles add to 180° then use The Law of Sines to find each of the other two sides.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent. If two lines are cut by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent, the lines are parallel. Interior Angles on the Same Side of the Transversal: The name is a description of the "location" of the these angles.
AA (Angle-Angle) Similarity. In two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar . (Note that if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then it can be shown that all three pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, by the Angle Sum Theorem.)
first such theorem is the side-angle-side (SAS) theorem: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
– ASA and AAS are two postulates that help us determine if two triangles are congruent. ASA stands for "Angle, Side, Angle", while AAS means "Angle, Angle, Side". Two figures are congruent if they are of the same shape and size. In other words, two congruent figures are one and the same figure, in two different places.
Proving Congruent Triangles with SAS. The Side Angle Side postulate (often abbreviated as SAS) states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
In Euclidean geometry, the AA postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have two corresponding angles congruent. (This is sometimes referred to as the AAA Postulate—which is true in all respects, but two angles are entirely sufficient.) The postulate can be better understood by working in reverse order.
The Cosine Rule states that the square of the length of any side of a triangle equals the sum of the squares of the length of the other sides minus twice their product multiplied by the cosine of their included angle.
The SAS theorem states that two triangles are equal if two sides and the angle between those two sides are equal. The angle between the two sides is also called the included angle. It's important that the angle you use for the area calculation lies between the two sides you use for the calculation.
45-Degree Angle. A straight angle measures 180°. An angle can be measured using a protractor, and the angle of measure 90 degrees is called a right angle. In a right angle, the two arms are perpendicular to each other. | 677.169 | 1 |

Unveiling the Mystery of the Interior Angles of a Regular Pentagon
Introduction to the Measurement of Interior Angles of a Regular Pentagon: An Overview
The measurement of interior angles in a regular pentagon requires an understanding of basic geometry. Primarily, it is necessary to know the general concept of what an 'interior angle' means and how it applies to polygons generally. Secondly, in order to measure a specific interior angle in a specific regular pentagon, the purpose and use of theorems such as the Interior Angles Theorem for Regular Polygons must be understood. This blog serves as an overview for one's introduction into measuring interior angles in regular pentagons.
An interior angle is defined as any angle that can be found within the boundaries of a given figures sides – much like the corners inside walls or triangles formed by connecting three adjacent line segments at their endpoints inside a four sided figure. An interior angle measures this relative location of parts or whole figures contained within its own plane or set surface area; likewise, with slightly more coordination and consideration for any angles exterior when bisecting (to create two congruent halves), there are combinations – transversals – which allow us to determine various configurations present when intersecting two other lines at different locations.
Now that we have established what an interior angle actually is and how it's applied to many shapes and forms – such as similar triangles and squares – let's move on to determining specific measurements pertaining only to regularly shaped pentagons; specifically, axial underlining repeated pattern elements used for this analysis will include length linkage measurements between corner points as well continuing relations thereof relating back on up at total basis when combined throughout entirety containing base wall/base perimeter lengths(s).
How to Calculate the Measurement of Each Interior Angle: Step by Step Guide
Interior angles of a regular shape are those formed by the two straight sides and two diagonal lines, meeting at one point. The internal ratio of the size or measure of each interior angle depends on how many sides a given shape has. Calculating individual measurement of an interior angle can be quick and easy as long as you know the basic formula for finding out the total degrees in a shape before calculating individual measurements.
Step 1: Understand Interior Angles
An interior angle of any regular shaped figure is an angled corner bound by two adjacent side lengths running into the same intersection – thus forming 360 degree complete rotational cycle.
Step 2: Count the Number of Sides
The number of sides used to form a particular shape will not only give us its name but also helps to determine the total number of degrees within that figure. For example, an equilateral triangle has three sides with three corresponding angles adding together to make up 180 degrees; this means that each one will measure exactly 60 degrees in size. Pursuing that rule, when there are four equal sides, total angles add up to 360 degrees and individually each angle measure 90 degrees; similarly for pentagons it's 72' per internal corner angle, for hexagons 120° per angle and so on.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Measurement of Interior Angles of Regular Pentagons
Q: What is the measure of an interior angle in a regular pentagon?
A: The measure of each interior angle in a regular pentagon is 108 degrees. All five angles inside the pentagon have the same degree measurement, making it possible to calculate the measurements with simple mathematics. This figure is important to shape-making and geometry, as knowing the measurement of an interior angle helps designers create and construct accurate diagrams and shapes.
Q: How do you find the measure of an interior angle of a regular pentagon?
A: Yes! To find out all five internal angles in any regular polygon, whether it's a triangle, quadrilateral or hexagon, use 180(n-2)/n where n stands for sides while subtracting two because one side reduces both ends' connections and one connection reduces an edge length in its entirety. Taking into account our regular pentagons with their five sides (n=5), this would look something like 180(5-2)/5 = 108 – which again proves that all our internal angles have the same measurement!
Top 5 Facts About the Measurement of Interior Angles of a Regular Pentagon
A pentagon is a shape with five straight sides and interior angles. The measurements of the interior angles of a regular pentagon can be determined using fundamental geometric principles. In this blog post, we'll be discussing some interesting facts about the measurement of these angles. Here are the top 5 facts:
1) The sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon is 540 degrees – If you take all five interior angles in the pentagon and add them together, they will equal 540 degrees. This makes sense because each angle measures out to 108 degrees when measuring all the way around (5 x 108 = 540).
2) Each vertex or "corner" angle measures 108° – All five corners of a regular pentagon measure out to 108° when adding up how many degrees make up each individual angle. This also explains why the sum total is 540° – it's 5 x 108 = 540°!
3) Regular Pentagons are always convex polygons -A convex polygon means that no two internal lines that join together point inwards towards each other-all points must point outwardly away from one another for it to be considered convex. A regular pentagon fits this criteria, so it is deemed a convex polygon in geometry terms.

Concluding Thoughts on Exploring the Measurement of Interior Angles of a Regular Pentagon
The interior angles of a regular pentagon measure at 108 degrees each. This information can be used to great effect when considering various design and construction projects, such as building structures with strong support beams or constructing angular backdrops for special events. Additionally, studying the angles and sides of this type of shape will be beneficial for students as it can lead to an enhanced appreciation for geometry and an in-depth understanding of the properties of this five-sided figure.
Generally speaking, a useful strategy for utilizing the measurements of interior angles is to identify where less or more stress should be applied. While this has a wide range of applications in that it can be used for design purposes in addition to mathematical discussions, it's important not to overlook the fact that measuring these types of figures takes extreme precision and a high degree of accuracy. As creators or observers, it's essential to find ways to assess the unique qualities that make each shape distinct while also recognizing similarities across all figures.
A closer examination into the diagrams and images depicting a regular pentagon will lead one to explore some fascinating topics such as area calculations and tessellations. Furthermore, mastering these concepts requires multiple skills including memorization, problem-solving techniques, visual recognition and time management practices. All in all this impressive figure provides users with an opportunity to create awe-inspiring structures by manipulating its inner angles in combination with outside forces such as lights or gravity checks which call on participants to think critically about their approach while pushing creativity forward at every turn. | 677.169 | 1 |

Now, because AE is equal to EC, the square of AE is equal to the square of CE: But the squares of AF, FE are equal to the square of AE, because the angle AFE is a right angle, and for the like reason, the squares of CG, GE are equal to the square of CE; therefore the squares of AF, FE are equal to the squares of CG, GE: But the square of AF is equal to the square of CG, because AF is equal to CG; therefore the remaining square of FE is equal to the remaining square of GE, and the straight line EF is therefore equal to EG: But straight lines in a circle are said to be equally distant from the centre, when the perpendiculars drawn to them from the centre are equal (3.

Next, let the straight lines AB, CD be equally dis

Top ContributorTarget question:Does each angle in the triangle measure less than 90 degrees?
Given: A triangle has side lengths of a, b, and c centimeters
Statement 1: The 3 semicircles whose diameters are the sides of the triangle have areas that are equal to 3 \(cm^2\), 4 \(cm^2\), and 6 \(cm^2\), respectively. This statement illustrates an important rule concerning Data Sufficiency questions: DO NOT DO MORE WORK THAN IS NECESSARY Since we have the area for each circle, we COULD calculate the diameter of each circle. So, after some tedious calculations, we WOULD know the lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle. IF we know the lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle, we COULD draw the triangle, and we COULD then measure each angle with a protractor. This means we COULD definitely determine whether each angle is less than 90 degrees. In other words, we COULD answer the target question with certainty. This means statement 1 is SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: c < a + b < c + 2 There are several values of a, b and c that satisfy statement 2. Here are two: Case a: a = 1, b = 1 and c = 1. In this case, we have an EQUILATERAL triangle in which all three angles measure 60 degrees. So, the answer to the target question is YES, each angle in the triangle measures less than 90 degrees Case b: a = 1.5, b = 2 and c = 2.5. ASIDE: We know that a 3-4-5 triangle is a RIGHT triangle. If we make each side HALF as long, we get a 1.5-2-2.5 triangle, which is also a RIGHT triangle. In this case, we have a RIGHT triangle which means one angle EQUALS 90 degrees. So, the answer to the target question is NO, it is NOT the case that each angle in the triangle measures less than 90 degrees Since we cannot answer the target question with certainty, statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT

I would appreciate anyone providing a mathematical explanation for this.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but: if the sides of a triangle work in the Pythagorean Theorem, so a^2 + b^2 = c^2, then there is an angle of exactly 90 degrees between sides a and b. We can extend the Pythagorean Theorem. If a^2 + b^2 > c^2, then c is shorter than what you'd find in a right triangle, so the angle between a and b will be less than 90 degrees. And if a^2 + b^2 < c^2, then c is longer than what you'd have in a right triangle, so the angle between a and b is greater than 90 degrees.
You could use that here (going by memory, I think the OG solution does), but I like the approach you've used above - there's no real need to use any algebra. _________________

A triangle has side lengths of a, b, and c centimeters. Does each angle in the triangle measure less than 90 degrees?
For one of the angles to be 90º, it has to happen that two squared sides are equal to the third squared side. Thus, if we can get the values of the 3 sides the question can be responded.
(1) The 3 semicircles whose diameters are the sides of the triangle have areas that are equal to 3 cm2cm2, 4 cm2cm2, and 6 cm2cm2, respectively.
In this case we get the area of the semicircles formed with each side as a diameter.
If we randomly take any of the triangle´s sides, just to try, we get that \(a^2 · pi · \frac{1}{2} = 3\).
From there we can get the value of "a" knowing that \(pi = \frac{22}{7}\) and the same for the other two sides, thus allowing us to determine whether or not two squared sides are equal to the third squared side (what is not necessary to calculate).
SUFF
(2) c < a + b < c + 2
The best way to prove this is to pick numbers.
First, we pick number that will make \(a^2+b^2 =c^2\).
\(2 < 1 + 2 < 4\) causes that \(1^2+2^2=5\) which is different from \(2^2\) so NO angle of 90º with this example.
Secondly, we pick numbers that will make \(a^2+b^2 =c^2\).
We try Pithagorean triples first, but after trying 3, 4, 5 we realize that there is no way to fulfill the condition using integers. Thus, we try a Pithagorean triple with a non-integer as one side of the triangle, the 30-60-90 ratio:
\(2 < 1 + \sqrt{3} < 4\) which we´ll inevitable have an angle of 90º since \(a^2+b^2 =c^2\) is fulfilled.
It should be noticed that it would also work out using the Right Isosceles ratio (1, 1, \(\sqrt{2}\)).

Say the right triangle \(1:1:\sqrt{2}\) is as shown in figure with legs as base and the dotted line and the red line is the hypotenuse. Say you rotate the dotted line a little to the left to make an angle slightly greater than 90 degrees. The legs are still 1 and 1. But now the green line is slightly greater than \(\sqrt{2}\). We get an obtuse angle in which c < a + b < c + 2 Slightly more than \(\sqrt{2}\) < 1 + 1 < \(\sqrt{2}\) + 2
You can do the same thing for an acute angle. Hence even if we know that c < a+b < c + 2, we still cannot say whether the triangle is acute or not. This relation could hold for both an acute angle and an obtuse angle. Hence not sufficient. _________________

I think main clue to this problem is quite simple.
Even if you draw a microscopic right triangle, rule a^2+b^2=c^2 is still appliable for it. When you change sides of this potential micro-triangle, you will see that equation becomes inequation: 1) a^2+b^2<c^2 for obtuse triangle 2) a^2+b^2>c^2 for acute triangle
But when "c+2" enters the game, it totally ruins everything. The inequations above still holds true for a very big values of a,b and c But remain wrong for all small values of a,b and c (in the potential micro-triangle)
Final point: what the questions asks for? "Does each angle in the triangle measure less than 90 degrees?". So, it does not ask about range of values for a,b and c So, insufficient

Note: i will solve this question in the simplest way possible without getting into too much details.Remember, this is a data sufficiency question so you don't really need to solve the whole question and waste time to know if the data is sufficient or not, you simply need to check if the data given is enough to solve the problem.
Answer: we have to find whether the triangle abc is right or not. to find that we should check if a^2+b^2=c^2
let us discuss statement 1:
statement 1 gives us the areas of the semi circles who diameter are the sides of the triangle, we all know that area of is A=πr^2
step1: since the area is given and π value is already known as 3.14, we can solve and get r for each circle.
step2: know that we got r for each circle we can multiply it by 2 and get the diameter of each circle noting that according to the given the sides of the triangle are the diameters of the circles.
step 3: now that we got all the sides length we can solve a^2+b^2=c^2 and see that the statement is sufficient
know let us discuss statement 2: c < a + b < c + 2
it doesnt really tell us anything about a^2, b^2 and c^2 so it is not sufficient.

VeritasCan someone explain this: EachWhat I understand is we can derive the sides from statement 1. That's clear. Then using the values of the sides we can look to see how the sides are related by squaring the sides
a^2 + b^2 < c^2 (obtuse) a^2 + b^2 > c^2 (acute)
Is this the takeaway here? _________________
"Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one." - Bruce Lee
although, I did not completely solve the question, but it seems from the first we can get each side of the triangle, that is, a,b,c (each side = diameter of the semi-circle). so, it definitely looks sufficient.

KudosSolution:
We need to determine whether each angle of a triangle whose side lengths are a, b and c centimeters measures less than 90 degrees. That is, we need to determine whether the triangle is an acute triangle. Notice that if c is the longest side of the triangle, then the triangle is an acute triangle if and only if a^2 + b^2 > c^2. Therefore, we need to determine whether a^2 + b^2 > c^2.
Similarly, if we simplify the other two equations, we will have b^2 = 32/π and c^2 = 48/π. Since a^2 + b^2 = 24/π + 32/π = 60/π is greater than c^2 = 48/π, we see that the triangle is indeed an acute triangle. Statement one alone is sufficient.
Statement Two Alone:
Statement two alone is not sufficient. If a = 1 and b = 1.8 and c = 2, then a^2 + b^2 = 1^2 + 1.8^2 = 1 + 3.24 = 4.24 is greater than c^2 = 4. In this case, the triangle is an acute triangle. However, if a = 1, b = 1.7 and c = 2, then a^2 + b^2 = 1^2 + 1.7^2 = 1 + 2.89 = 3.89 is not greater than c^2 = 4. In this case, the triangle is not an acute triangle.

(1) Here I thought that we are given the ratio of the sides. And for a given ratio we cant form both an acute and an obtuse triangle. Im not 100 % sure if Im correct here though, but it felt reasonable. For example, side ratios 3:4:5 can only be a right triangle. Would be nice if anyone could confirm this?
(2) This statement was a little easier to work with. If c is 0,001 cm, we should be able to make any type of triangle and still end up with the inequality c < a+b < c+2

The Great Pyramid of Egypt was constructed to precise proportions. A hypothesis is that the pyramid was constructed
to fit inside an imaginary hemisphere with each its corners and its peak touching the hemisphere. The sketch below right shows this
hypothesized geometry. The angle 0BC each face makes with the horizontal is indicated.
Determine Angle 0BC, as predicted by the hypothesis.
♦ Vectors work well in three dimensions but physical situations do not come with coordinates
and unit vectors. The vector basis must be constructed: below right.
We define the center of the pyramid at its base as our origin with coordinates 0,0,0. We apply X, Y, and Z axes
in parallel to the pyramid sides and vertical. We use the vector triple, I, J
and K as our basis.
We seek the angle OBC. The approach is always the same. We write a vector to some point the path of which includes
the sought angle (or length). Next write a second vector to the same point, equate the two vectors. The peak and corners
of the pyramid contact the hemisphere. We write the position of the peak of the pyramid in two independent ways.
An origin, coordinates, and
vector basis are applied.
A vector represented as OC extends from the origin vertically to the peak of the pyramid. The notation
OC means a vector starting at the point "O" and extending to (and directed toward) the point "C."
We see another path to the peak as the sum of three vectors. Our working equation is the equality of these two representations
of position of the same point, the peak of the pyramid.
By its right side we see this equation expresses a vector that is zero. The only way that can happen is if each component magnitude of the vector equals zero. Thus we have:
From the I component we obtain:
r cos45 - |BC| cosα = 0
The J component provides:
|AB| - r sin45 = 0
and for the K component, we have:
|BC| sinα - r = 0
Combining the I and K components we determine:
tan α = √2 whereupon α = 54°
The actual, measured value of this angle is 51°.Thus the hypothesis is quite close!

Figure 2 ---- two views of the small vesica OA. OA has been
drawn with major and minor axes as with the large vesica above.
Notice that there is a sphere at C and one at B. We already know from
above that the long axis of the large vesica (OCAB) is \/¯3.
The distance from C to W (located at the right edge of the sphere
centered at C) is 1, because it is the radius. Similarly for the distance
BP, for the sphere centered at B. A line AO will bisect a line CB,
so that X is the midpoint between C and B.
So we have :
C_________(_X_)_________B
P W
distance CX = distance XB = \/¯3/2. This is the same distance
we found for CX of the large vesica in Figure 1.
Distance CW = 1 because it's the radius of C.
Therefore distance XW = 1 - \/¯3/2, or, (2 -
\/¯3) / 2.
Distance PW = twice distance XW, so the short axis of the
small vesica is 2 - \/¯3.
So the ratio of the long axis to the small axis in the smaller vesica
is: 1 / (2 - \/¯3)
= 2 + \/¯3. | 677.169 | 1 |
Quadrilaterals are four-sided shapes that are found in many areas of mathematics. They have four angles and four sides that are all connected. In geometry, many types of quadrilaterals exist including parallelograms, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, rhombuses and kites. Quadrilaterals can also be classified by the length of their sides, such as an isosceles trapezoid or an equilateral rectangle. Additionally, quadrilaterals can be used in trigonometry to calculate angles and distances. Quadrilaterals can also be used to solve equations and simplify complex problems. Understanding quadrilaterals is essential for students studying math, from elementary school all the way through college. | 677.169 | 1 |

Calculate Slope from Rise and Run (Degrees Slope Calculator)
When dealing with various structures like driveways, roofs, stairways, gable walls, or any other inclined surface, understanding the angle of inclination, or slope, is crucial for design, construction, and safety considerations.
One common method to calculate this slope involves using the rise and run measurements along with trigonometric functions.
Angles of rise and incline play significant roles in various fields such as construction, engineering, architecture, and physics.
Understanding these angles and how to calculate them is essential for designing structures, determining slopes, and analyzing physical phenomena.
In this article, we'll delve into the process of calculating slope using rise and run measurements and provide a detailed example to illustrate the concept.
Understanding Rise and Run:
Before we proceed with the calculation, let's clarify what rise and run represent in such measurements:
Rise: The vertical distance between two points, typically measured from the lowest point to the highest point.
Run: The horizontal distance between two points, measured along the ground or a flat surface.
These two measurements are fundamental in determining the slope of an inclined surface.
Angle of Rise
The angle of rise refers to the angle formed between the horizontal line and a line representing the upward direction of an inclined surface or object. It represents the steepness of the incline in relation to the horizontal plane. The angle of rise is crucial in construction and engineering projects, particularly when designing ramps, driveways, or roads.
Angle of Incline
The angle of incline, often simply referred to as the slope angle, is similar to the angle of rise but can be more generalized. It represents the angle formed between the inclined surface or object and the horizontal plane. This angle is fundamental in various fields, including physics, where it describes the inclination of surfaces in gravitational or inclined plane problems.
CalculMethod for CalculThere are several methods for calculating rise, depending on the available information and the specific scenario:
Trigonometric Methods
If the angle of incline or rise is known, rise can be calculated using trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, or tangent. For example, if the angle of incline is given, rise can be calculated using the formula: Rise = Run * tan(Angle).
Using Rise and Run
Rise can be directly calculated if both the rise and run (horizontal distance) between two points on an incline are known. The rise is simply the vertical distance traveled over the run.
Measuring Instruments
In practical scenarios, rise can be measured directly using instruments such as a tape measure, level, or inclinometer. By measuring the vertical distance between two points, rise can be determined accurately.
The Mathematics Behind Slope Calculation:
To calculate the slope of an inclined surface using rise and run measurements, we employ basic trigonometry. The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle (the rise) to the length of the side adjacent to the angle (the run). Mathematically, this relationship is expressed as:
tangent(theta) = Rise / Run
Where:
theta represents the angle of inclination (slope).
Rise is the vertical distance.
Run is the horizontal distance.
To find the angle theta, we use the arctan function (also known as inverse tangent) to solve for theta:
theta = arctan(Rise / Run)
This formula provides the angle of inclination in either radians or degrees, depending on the unit preference.
Example Calculation:
Let's consider an example to demonstrate the calculation of slope using rise and run measurements. Suppose we have a stairway with the following measurements:
Run: 12 feet 2 inches (converted to 146 inches)
Rise: 8 feet 11 inches (converted to 107 inches)
We need to calculate the angle of inclination for this stairway.
Convert the measurements to inches:
Run: 12′ 2" = 12 * 12 + 2 = 146 inches
Rise: 8′ 11" = 8 * 12 + 11 = 107 inches
Calculate the slope using the formula:
theta = arctan(Rise / Run)
Compute the angle using a calculator:
theta ≈ 36.2369 degrees
Another Example
Let's consider a practical example to illustrate the calculation of rise and its relationship to the angle of incline. Suppose we have an inclined plane with a slope angle of 30 degrees. We want to determine the rise of this incline.
Using trigonometric principles, we can calculate the rise as follows:
Given:
Angle of Incline (θ) = 30 degrees
Using the formula:
Rise = Run * tan(θ)
Assuming a run of 10 meters (for illustrative purposes), we can calculate the rise:
Rise = 10 * tan(30 degrees)
Rise ≈ 5.7735 meters
Therefore, the rise of an incline with a 30-degree angle is approximately 5.7735 meters.

(a) Is it possible to have a regular polygon with measure of each exterior angle as 22∘ ? b) Can it be an interior angle of a regular polygon? Why?
Video Solution
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
Sum of all exterior angles of regular polygon = 3600
(a)
Given that, measure of each exterior angle = 220
(no. of sides)**(measure of exterior angle) = 3600
(no. of sides) = 3600220 =16.36
Thus, number of sides must be a whole number, hence, we cannot have a regular polygon with exterior angle 220 .
(b)
Given that, measure of each interior angle = 220
Measure of each exterior angle = (180−22)=1580
(no. of sides)**(measure of exterior angle) = 3600
(no. of sides) = 36001580 =2.27
Thus, number of sides must be a whole number, hence, we cannot have a regular polygon with interior angle 220 . | 677.169 | 1 |

At first it appears that there is insufficient information for a solution to be found, however, in such cases a diagram can be a useful tool to enable students to proceed.
Note: A number of problems appear to have insufficient information, including the Level 6 Number and Algebra (Equations and Expressions) problem Pigs, Goats and Sheep. In this case, the fact that whole numbers were involved meant that extra necessary information could be derived.
The Problem
The High Peak Jewellery Company wants a new logo. Martin has come up with one based on a ring and a diamond. It is constructed by inscribing a rectangle in a circle as shown below.
The diamond is then drawn inside the rectangle.
Can Martin construct the shape using only ruler and compasses?
What is the area of the diamond shape?

Pose the problem for the students to work on.
Questions that can help the students get started include: What information do you know? What mathematical knowledge could you apply to this problem? What can you tell me about the radius of the circle?
As the students work on the problem ask questions that focus on their construction skills and their application of Pythagoras. What do you need to know to work out the area of the rhombus? What can you tell me about the side length of the rhombus?
Ask the students to list the steps they took in solving the problem that they believe are important steps that need to be followed.
Share lists of steps taken. Discuss the similarities and differences in approaches taken.
Extensions
A circle is inscribed in the rhombus. What is its area? Invent your own logo for The High Peak Jewellery Company.
Solution
To construct the logo Martin has first to draw in the circle. That is straightforward. Now draw in any diameter through the centre of the circle. To get the point which is 3 cm from the centre and the circumference use the normal method of producing the perpendicular bisecting a line segment. Then extend the perpendicular bisector if necessary to cut the circle at two points. Repeat the process on the other side of the centre. Now join the four points on the circle to make the rectangle. Finally join up the points to make the rhombus.
The key to finding the area is to see that the side of the rhombus equals the radius of the circle, since the diagonals of a rectangle are equal. Thus, using Pythagoras' Theorem, the other side of the triangle is 62 = a2 + 32 27 = a2 √27 = a 3√3 = 27
Hence the area is half the base times the height = 0.5 x 3 x 3√3. This is approximately 7.79 cm2.
Solution to the Extension
To find the radius of the circle inscribed in the rhombus, note that the radius of this circle is perpendicular to the side of the rhombus. | 677.169 | 1 |

What is a geometric axiom?
Axioms are generally statements made about real numbers. Sometimes they are called algebraic postulates. Often what they say about real numbers holds true for geometric figures, and since real numbers are an important part of geometry when it comes to measuring figures, axioms are very useful.
What is a axiom in geometry example?
Examples of axioms can be 2+2=4, 3 x 3=4 etc. In geometry, we have a similar statement that a line can extend to infinity. This is an Axiom because you do not need a proof to state its truth as it is evident in itself.
What is axiom in Euclid's geometry?
< Euclidean geometry. Lesson One: Euclid's Axioms. Euclid was known as the "Father of Geometry." In his book, The Elements, Euclid begins by stating his assumptions to help determine the method of solving a problem. These assumptions were known as the five axioms. An axiom is a statement that is accepted without proof.
What is the circle axiom?
The definition (and existence) of a circle provides our first way of knowing that two straight lines could be equal. Because if we know that a figure is a circle, then we would know that any two radii are equal.
How many axioms are there in Euclidean geometry?
five axioms
All five axioms provided the basis for numerous provable statements, or theorems, on which Euclid built his geometry. The rest of this article briefly explains the most important theorems of Euclidean plane and solid geometry.

What is axiom and Theorem?
An axiom is a mathematical statement which is assumed to be true even without proof. A theorem is a mathematical statement whose truth has been logically established and has been proved.
What is axioms and postulates Class 9?
Axioms or postulates are the assumptions which are obvious universal truths. They are not proved. 3. Theorems are statements which are proved, using definitions, axioms, previously proved statements and deductive reasoning.
What is the difference between axiom and postulate?
As nouns the difference between axiom and postulate is that axiom is (philosophy) a seemingly which cannot actually be proved or disproved while postulate is something assumed without proof as being self-evident or generally accepted, especially when used as a basis for an argument.
What are examples of axioms?
The definition of an axiom is a universally accepted rule. Two things that are equal to the same thing are also equal to each other is an example of an axiom.
What is difference between axioms, postulates and theorems?
An axiom is a statement that is assumed to be true without any proof,while a theory is subject to be proven before it is considered to be true
An axiom is often self-evident,while a theory will often need other statements,such as other theories and axioms,to become valid.
Theorems are naturally challenged more than axioms.

Proving the Parallelogram Circumscribing a Circle is a Rhombus
Introduction
A parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a geometric shape that has intrigued mathematicians for centuries. In this article, we will explore the properties of this unique shape and provide a compelling proof that it is indeed a rhombus. By delving into the mathematical principles and utilizing visual aids, we aim to provide valuable insights into this fascinating topic.
The Parallelogram Circumscribing a Circle
Before we dive into the proof, let's first understand the characteristics of the parallelogram circumscribing a circle. This shape is formed when a circle is inscribed within a parallelogram in such a way that the circle touches all four sides of the parallelogram. The points where the circle intersects the sides of the parallelogram are known as the tangency points.
Properties of the Parallelogram Circumscribing a Circle
There are several key properties that make the parallelogram circumscribing a circle unique:
All four sides of the parallelogram are tangent to the circle.
The opposite sides of the parallelogram are parallel.
The opposite angles of the parallelogram are equal.
The diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other.
Proof: The Parallelogram Circumscribing a Circle is a Rhombus
Now, let's move on to the proof that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is indeed a rhombus. To do this, we will utilize the properties mentioned earlier and apply some basic geometric principles.
Step 1: Opposite Sides are Parallel
One of the defining properties of a parallelogram is that its opposite sides are parallel. In the case of the parallelogram circumscribing a circle, we can observe that the tangency points divide each side of the parallelogram into two equal segments. Since the tangents to a circle from an external point are equal in length, we can conclude that the opposite sides of the parallelogram are parallel.
Step 2: Opposite Angles are Equal
Another property of a parallelogram is that its opposite angles are equal. In the case of the parallelogram circumscribing a circle, we can observe that the tangency points create congruent triangles. By applying the angle-side-angle (ASA) congruence criterion, we can conclude that the opposite angles of the parallelogram are equal.
Step 3: Diagonals Bisect Each Other
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. In the case of the parallelogram circumscribing a circle, the diagonals are formed by connecting the opposite tangency points. Since the tangency points divide each side of the parallelogram into two equal segments, it follows that the diagonals bisect each other.
Step 4: All Sides are Equal
Now that we have established that the opposite sides are parallel, the opposite angles are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other, we can conclude that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length.
Conclusion
The parallelogram circumscribing a circle is indeed a rhombus. By utilizing the properties of a parallelogram and applying basic geometric principles, we have successfully proven this statement. Understanding the characteristics of this unique shape not only enhances our knowledge of geometry but also provides valuable insights into the intricate relationship between circles and parallelograms.

The inner and outer puzzle pieces match, by their colour and their attributes, e.g. the orange pentagons each have 5 sides; the irregular shape fits inside the regular shape to reinforce the understanding that both shapes are still pentagons, even though they look different.
The set can be used to demonstrate that regular shapes have equal angles and sides; irregular shapes can have angles and sides of any value. The mathematical extension of this process is that the sum of the interior angles of a regular shape will always be equal to the sum of the interior angles of the corresponding irregular shape.

Semi-major and Semi-minor Axis of an Ellipse
An ellipse is a type of conic section that is defined by two points, known as the foci. The semi-major axis and the semi-minor axis are two important parameters that characterize the size and shape of an ellipse.
Semi-Major Axis - The semi-major axis is the longest radius of an ellipse, extending from the center to one of the points on the ellipse along its major axis. It is half of the length of the major axis.
Semi-Minor Axis - The semi-minor axis is the shortest radius of an ellipse, extending from the center to one of the points on the ellipse along its minor axis. It is half of the length of the minor axis.
The lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes determine the size and proportions of the ellipse. The relationship between the semi-major axis (a) and the semi-minor axis (b) is a fundamental aspect of the ellipse. In particular, the length of the semi-major axis is always greater than or equal to the length of the semi-minor axis. | 677.169 | 1 |
What are Polygons? [Types, Shapes, Formulas, and Examples]
Learning to design interior and exterior angles of polygons is one of the most daunting tasks for students during geometry class: teachers and private math tutors say so. A polygon is a 2D (two-dimensional) geometric figure constructed with straight lines having a finite number of sides. Triangle with three sides is the most common example of a polygon. However, there are plenty of common and uncommon polygon shapes we see and experience without even knowing.
In this blog post, you will learn everything about polygons, such as their mathematical definition, shapes, types, properties, real-life examples, other examples, and many more things in detail. Before we start learning, here is some interesting information for you. Polygon comes from the Greek language, in which Poly means 'many' and -gon means 'angle.'
Definition of Polygons
Any close two-dimensional shape or plane figure formed with straight line segments is known as a polygon. Open shapes or curved ones don't make a polygon. It's a combination of two words, which means 'many sides .'A polygon comprises many straight-line segments, and the points where these line segments meet are called corners or vertices, making an angle. Moreover, the line segments are called edges or sides. The sides of polygons are not limited, and they could have 3 sides, 11 sides, 44 sides, or more. It can have as many sides as needed. However, the name of the polygon will surely change or differ.
Shapes of polygons
Following are the most common geometrical shapes of a polygon. These all are the perfect shapes and examples of a polygon. However, the number of sides varies, as given below:
Types of Polygons
Polygons are classified into different types depending on the number of sides and angles. Following are the types of polygons with details and examples:
1. Interior Angles
2. Exterior Angles
The exterior angles are always formed on the outside of a polygon. By definition, an angle formed by one of the sides of a polygon and the extension of its adjacent side is known as an exterior angle of a polygon.
Note:
The sum of an exterior angle and its corresponding interior angle is always equal to 180°
Regular polygons' exterior angles are always equal in measure.
Properties of Polygons
Following are the main properties of polygons based on their shapes, sizes, angles, vertices, and types:
All polygons have a 2D shape (closing in a space)
Polygons are made with straight sides or lines.
Any shape that includes a curve is not a polygon.
All regular polygons are also called convex polygons.
Circles are not polygons.
Calculate = (n-2) x 180° to find the sum of all interior angles of an n-sided polygon.
Polygons have both interior and exterior angles.
Calculate = 360°/n to measure all exterior angles of an n-sided regular polygon.
Answer: The diagonal of a polygon is measured by n (n — 3) /2, where n is the sides of the polygon.
Question 4: How many diagonals does a triangle have?
Answer: Triangles do not have diagonals.
