AI Thread Summary
To find the dimensions of a rectangular field with a perimeter of 60 meters and an area of 200 square meters, the equations for perimeter (p = 2a + 2b) and area (A = ab) are used. By substituting the perimeter equation into the area equation, one can express one variable in terms of the other. Solving these equations simultaneously will yield the lengths of the sides a and b. Drawing a diagram can aid in visualizing the problem. The solution will provide the specific dimensions of the field.

Please help me I beg you!
 
Show how you have tried to approach the problem.
 
I need somebody to show me how to do it.
 
Try not to be lazy.

The perimeter of a rectangle is p=2a+2b=60 meters, where a and b are contiguous sides' lengths. Do you see this? (Drawing a figure would be helpful.)

The area A=200 meters2. In terms of a and b the area is thus equal to...

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 '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...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

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...
