MHB Trigonometry and Triangle Questions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving various trigonometry and triangle-related questions. Key points include using the sine definition for solving problems, recognizing properties of right-angled and isosceles triangles to find unknown angles, and applying trigonometric ratios for calculations. Additionally, the sine law is suggested for one of the problems, and there's a query about finding the area of a triangle using trigonometric methods. A formula for decay is mentioned, though it is noted as unrelated to trigonometry.

Gents, Thanks for all the guidance in the past with my work and brothers too.

Can anyone help with these , see file attached

Edit: I have attached the PDF pages as images for those who don't wish to download a PDF attachment :)What do you know about trigonometry?

Q1) You can solve this one by using the definition of sine: $$\sin \theta = \frac{opp}{hyp}$$ (the SOH of SOHCAHTOA if you were taught this mnenomic)

Q2) This is both a right angled and isoceles triangle. Since the sum of angles is 180 degrees and one is 90 you can find the other two (they're the same remember)

Q3) This can be solved using one of the trig ratio

Q4) Use the sine law:
$$\dfrac{\sin A}{A} = \dfrac{\sin B}{B} = \dfrac{\sin C}{C}$$

Q5) Do you know how to find the area of a triangle from trig?
$$A = \frac{1}{2}ab\sin(C)$$

Q6) The usual formula for decay is [math]A = A_0(1-r)^t[/math]. Not sure why it's here as not trig related

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...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
