AI Thread Summary
Two triangles are congruent if they meet specific conditions: Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Side-Side-Side (SSS), and Angle-Side-Angle (ASA). The discussion emphasizes using the SSS condition to demonstrate congruence by finding equal corresponding sides. Additionally, supplementary angles can be utilized to establish congruence in another triangle. The focus is on applying these principles to prove triangle congruence effectively. Understanding these conditions is essential for solving geometric problems involving triangles.

SAS, SSS and ASA?

Good! Now, try for SSS on the first one. Is there any way you can show that BN = GI? For the second one, do the same trick but now you have a couple of supplementary angles to work with. Give it a try.

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...
