AI Thread Summary
In a triangle, the angle formed between the points of contact of the inscribed circle with the sides is not universally 120 degrees; it varies based on the triangle's angles. The discussion explores this concept using a right triangle as an example. If one angle is 30 degrees, the angle at the center of the inscribed circle can be calculated accordingly. The relationship between the triangle's angles and the inscribed circle's contact points is crucial for understanding this geometric property. Overall, the angle between the points of contact is dependent on the specific triangle configuration.

Consider the case of a right triangle.

Imagine the blue angle would be 30°. Which angle is then at the blue center?
 
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...
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...
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...
