Please Help.. I am struggling to answer this inspite of trying to re read theorems.. I couldn't answer anything.. if you can solve this please teach me the steps.

So i could answer them in the future..

Since OF and OW are radii or the circle, they have the same length and OFW is an isosceles triangle. That means that angle 1 and angle 2 have the same measure so, in 1, angle 2 is also 30 degrees. Now there is a theorem that says that an angle with vertex on the circle subtends an arc with measure twice the measure of the angle. If angles 1 and 2 have measure 30 degrees then angle FOW has measure 180- 30- 30= 120 and angle 3 is the "supplement" of that.

For 2, if angle 1 has measure 40, so does angle 2 so angle FOW has measure 180- 40- 40= 100. There is a theorem that says that an angle with vertex at the center of the circle subtend an arc with measure equal to the measure of the angle.

3 is exactly the same as 1 except you are to us 45 degrees instead of 30 degrees.
 
Thank You Very much :) I think I very much Understand Now
 
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...
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 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
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...
