MHB How Do Circles and Parallel Lines Interact in Geometry?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a geometry problem involving circles and parallel lines. A user expresses confusion about calculating areas related to shaded and unshaded regions. Another participant clarifies that the problem can be simplified by canceling out corresponding areas, leading to a straightforward solution of 32 cm² for the difference between the two areas. The interaction highlights the collaborative nature of the forum in helping users understand geometric concepts. Overall, the exchange emphasizes the importance of breaking down complex problems into manageable parts.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Do I solve it by fraction. Sorry, I am very lost with this question
 
8 multiply by 4 for 32 units square but I still won't get the full shaded and unshaded
 
You don't need them. "Cancelling" the dotted areas with their corresponding shaded areas leaves a dotted rectangle which is 32 cm. squared. That's the difference between the two areas.
 
Awesome!
I was so silly.

Thanks for the help.

This forum is great
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

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...

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...
