AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the geometric relationship between arc BC and angle BAC, highlighting that their measures are equal. It emphasizes the role of the perpendicular bisector, which bisects segment BC and intersects line AD at the circle. This intersection implies that the bisector also divides arc BC into two equal parts. Participants seek a more formal way to articulate these geometric principles. The conversation centers around understanding and expressing these relationships in a precise manner.

Do you see that the measure of arc BC is the same as the measure of angle BAC?

Ohhh, and then because the perpendicular bisector bisects BC and meets AD at the circle, it must cut the arc in half? Is there a more formal war to write that?

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 'Midpoint(s) of the unbounded number line'

Just chatting with my son about Maths and he casually mentioned that 0 would be the midpoint of the number line from -inf to +inf. I wondered whether it wouldn’t be more accurate to say there is no single midpoint. Couldn’t you make an argument that any real number is exactly halfway between -inf and +inf?

Thread 'Arithmetic and our place value system'

A power has two parts. Base and Exponent. A number 423 in base 10 can be written in other bases as well: 1. 4* 10^2 + 2*10^1 + 3*10^0 = 423 2. 1*7^3 + 1*7^2 + 4*7^1 + 3*7^0 = 1143 3. 7*60^1 + 3*60^0 = 73 All three expressions are equal in quantity. But I have written the multiplier of powers to form numbers in different bases. Is this what place value system is in essence ?
