Aha, I remember this from the SAT now. If OP is the diameter, then the central angle sweeping out arc length OP would be equal to 180 degrees. Then, if an inscribed angle sweeps out the same arc length starting from Q, its degree measurement would be equal to 180/2 degrees. Hence, angle OQP is...

I too am sorry for the late reply. After all, it is you helping me. Unfortunately my appreciation for mathematics came after my classes in geometry and trigonometry. I was unfortunate enough to get a Rice University mathematics major that was smart but couldn't really teach. Instead of teaching...

Though I have no idea on how to prove it (my geometry and trigonometry is a little rough - though I just ordered some books to get my skills back up to par) it would seem that angle OQP is 90 degrees seeing that the segment PQ is possibly perpendicular to OP'. Like I said I have no idea how to...

I know what you're saying Tedjn, but I already found the acceleration parallel with the incline, from there I integrated twice to find the distance it would go. For acceleration I'm arbitrarily using a. From there I found that parallel to the incline the distance traveled is equal to...

First time post, so sorry if this is in the wrong section. I've been working my way through Morris Kline's "Calculus" this summer to get ready for college next year, and I have hit a bump on a problem involving an inclined plane. In this problem the question is as follows: "An object slides down...
