AI Thread Summary
To find the area of triangle ABC with sides AC = 4 cm, AB = 3 cm, and angle A = 60 degrees, the formula A = 1/2 * a * b * sin(θ) is applicable. Substituting the values, the area can be calculated as A = 1/2 * 4 * 3 * sin(60°). The sine of 60 degrees is √3/2, leading to an area of 6√3/4 cm², which simplifies to approximately 2.598 cm². The height from point C can also be derived using the area formula, confirming the calculations.

ABC is a triangle. AC=4cm; AB=3cm; A=60 degrees.
I need help finding the area of triangle ABC.

Can you calculate the height from point C ?
 
If you know the lengths of two sides of a triangle (we'll call them \(a\) and \(b\)), and the angle \(\theta\) subtended by the two sides, then the area \(A\) of the triangle is given by:

$$A=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin(\theta)$$

Can you proceed?
 
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...
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...
