Click For Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the distance from point (b,0) to the final destination (10,0) after a person has walked from (0,0) to (10,0). The individual stopped between points (a,0) and (b,0), with a distance of 2m separating these two points. To find the distance from (10,0) to (b,0), the formula used is 10 - b. This calculation is essential for understanding the remaining distance to the final destination. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise distance measurements in this context.

A person walked a distance of 10m from (0,0) to (10,0) - final distnation; prior to reaching final distancetion he stopped betwen 2 points (a,0) and (b,0). The distance between (a,0) and (b,0) is 2m. I need to know the distance between (10,0) and (b,0) Please check graph attached

Distance between (10,0) and (b,0) is 10-b
 

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
