AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving for angles and sides in congruent triangles given certain known values. The user seeks to determine the values of b, d, G, and F, with the constraint that c + d equals 90 degrees. A response highlights the uncertainty in finding F due to a lack of constraints that would limit its length while keeping other values constant. Additionally, there is a request for clarification on which congruent triangles are being referenced. The conversation emphasizes the need for more information to solve the problem effectively.

I am trying to work out the above problem.
Known are: D,A,B,a,c,d. I need to work out b,d,G and F. Any ideas?

c+d = 90 degrees.

Regards,

Stan

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

A am not sure we can find F because I don't see any constraint that prevents one from making F longer while preserving D, A, B, a, c, and d.

Also, what congruent triangles do you mean in the thread title?

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...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

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...
