AI Thread Summary
Software options exist that can analyze numerical inputs to identify corresponding geometric structures, such as triangles. For example, the numbers 1, 2, and 5 can form a triangle when considering the hypotenuse as the square root of 5. Mathematica is highlighted as one of the best tools for this type of analysis due to its advanced computational capabilities. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationships between numbers and their geometric representations. Overall, utilizing specialized software can effectively reveal geometric structures from numerical data.

Hi! Do you know if there are softwares where you can put in numbers and it tries to find a geometric structure that fits them? Like 1,2 and 5 becomes a triangle.

Thank you!

Perhaps if you can explain how is "1, 2, 5" a triangle?

Sorry mean the hypotenuse is squareroot of 5.
 
mathematica it's best for this and more
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

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...
