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 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

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...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
