    Angle Triangle
AI Thread Summary
In triangle ABC, with angle A measuring 25° and angle B greater than 90°, angle C must be less than 65° to satisfy the triangle inequality. The possible measures for angle C from the given options are 12°, 15°, 45°, and 50°, as they all fall within the acceptable range. Angle 70° is not a valid choice since it exceeds the maximum limit for angle C. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding angle relationships in triangles. Correctly identifying the possible values for angle C is essential for solving this type of geometry problem.

ok you have 2 seconds to figure this one out:unsure:

This question has live answer choices. Select all the answer choices that apply. The correct answer to a question of this type could consist of as few as one, or as many as all five of the answer choices.
\item In triangle ABC, the measure of angle A is $25^o$ and the measure of angle B is greater than 90°. Which of the following could be the measure of angle \textbf{C}?
Indicate all possible values.

$
a.\ 12^o
\quad b.\ 15^o
\quad c.\ 45^o
\quad d.\ 50^o
\quad e.\ 70^o $

from observation I choose 4 possible but thot I would see what the replies would be

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
