In square ABCD with side length 13, points E and F are located on sides BC and AB, respectively, forming a 45-degree angle at point D with a line segment EF measuring 11 units. The problem requires calculating the length of segment CE. Geometric relationships and trigonometric principles are utilized to derive the necessary lengths and angles. The solution involves applying the properties of right triangles and the Pythagorean theorem. Ultimately, the length of segment CE is determined through these calculations.

A square $ABCD$ , each side with length 13,
if points $E,F$ on $\overline{BC} ,\overline{AB} $ respectively,$\angle EDF=45^o,$and $\overline{EF}=11$
find length of $\overline{CE}=?$

use pythagorean theorem
 
Thread 'Erroneously  finding discrepancy in transpose rule'
Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
