    Angles Triangle
AI Thread Summary
In triangle PQR, angle bisectors QB and RA create angles QBA of 24° and RAB of 18°. To find the measures of angles P, Q, and R, the corrected angles must be used. The relationships between the angles can be established through the properties of angle bisectors. The calculations will yield the values for angles P, Q, and R based on the given information. The discussion highlights the importance of clarity in geometric notation for accurate problem-solving.

$QB$ and $RA$ are angle bisectors of the triangle $PQR$. Given that $\angle QBA=24^{\circ}$ and $\angle RAD=18^{\circ}$. Find the measure of each angles $P,\,Q$ and $R$.

where is point D located ?

Ops...the question should read as "$QB$ and $RA$ are angle bisectors of the triangle $PQR$. Given that $\angle QBA=24^{\circ}$ and $\angle RAB=18^{\circ}$. Find the measure of each angles $P,\,Q$ and $R$."

The letter $D$ should be a $B$, my apologies for the confusion and that explains perfectly why this thread hasn't received any response yet!:o
 
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 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
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...
