    Angle Value
AI Thread Summary
In triangle ABC, angles BAC and ACB are both 50 degrees, making angle ABC 80 degrees. Given point M inside the triangle, with angles MAC at 10 degrees and MCA at 30 degrees, the remaining angle AMC can be calculated as 180 - (10 + 30) = 140 degrees. Using the triangle angle sum property in triangle BMC, angle BMC can be determined as 180 - (80 + 140) = -40 degrees, which is not possible. Thus, the correct approach involves recalculating the angles or verifying the given conditions to find a valid angle for BMC.

$\triangle ABC ,if \,\, \angle BAC=\angle ACB=50^o$

point $M$ is an inner point of $\triangle ABC ,$

given :$\angle MAC=10^o$ and $\angle MCA=30^o$

find the value of $\angle BMC=?$

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...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
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...
