AI Thread Summary
To calculate the area of a square with an area of 490 mm², one must determine the length of each side, which is found by taking the square root of the area. The square root of 490 mm² is approximately 22.14 mm. The discussion reveals confusion regarding the shape in question, as the provided image may not accurately represent a square. Clarification is needed on the dimensions and shape being analyzed. Ultimately, understanding the basic geometric principles is essential for calculating area correctly.

Hello!

This is pretty easy but i´m failing...

The area of this "square" should be 490 mm2 .
What the proper way to do this..., I guess its simple geometry but for the moment I am drawing blank...

Something is wrong in your image, when I consider the number all the way at the bottom to be the length of a side... using Pythagoras to calculate the diagonal length doesn't give me the indicated value.
Is it really a square? What precisely measures 22.3?
 
No, its nor really a square. Yes, it was a pretty crappy picture, but I got to the solution on my own. thanks for the help
 
I need help with normal shape area. Anyone?
 
WadeS, welcome to PF :smile:

It would have been best to ask your question in a brand new thread, since it appears unrelated to what was asked here.

That being said, what shape is it you need help with finding the area?:confused:

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 '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...
