AI Thread Summary
The angle between the diagonal and the side of the rhombus is 22º30’. The interior angles of a rhombus total 360º, with opposing angles being congruent. The calculations show that angle B is 45º, derived from doubling 22º30’. Consequently, angles C and E are both 135º, confirming the angle relationships in the rhombus. The calculations are correct, validating the findings.

The angle between the diagonal and the side of the rhombus is 22º30’. Find rhombus angles.
Rhombus interior angles are 360º that much I know, but how do I find out the other angles?

Just remember that by definition, a rhombus is always going to be congruent on opposing sides of each diagonal. See if this helps you get started...

B=22º30’*2=45º
B=45º
D=45º

45º+C=180º
C=135º
E=135º

Did I do it right?

Yup. Good job : )
 

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 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
