    Can this Secant-Tangent Equation be Simplified Further?

    Homework Statement Is it possible to simplify this even further? Homework Equations This is a Secant-tangent equation. Secant: AD = 18/radical 3 AC = ?? The Attempt at a Solution I cross multiplied to get 18=324radical 3 (AC) and in the end i got 0 = (18radical3) (AC) which makes...

    Undergrad Is a 1 degree rotation of a point possible?

    Let's say the center of a circle on a graph is (0,0), and the point at the circumference is (-7,24). Do you think it is possible to find a point that is not on the lattice point using a 1 degree rotation? ^By that I mean if it is possible to do a 1 degree rotation of the point to find a...

    Solving for Line FC Using the Pythagorean Theorem

    Homework Statement Find line FC in the given problem. Homework Equations A^2 + b^2 = c^2 The Attempt at a Solution according to the diagram, 1/2ac = bc - since the the two right triangles share the same hypotenuse. bc = 12 so 1/2ac = 12, i got the answer as 16^2 + b^2 =...
