#105 Re: Help Me ! » Triangle inside a circle. » 2007-06-10 02:06:02

i divided the triangles again
now we have 6 rite triangles taht are congruent to each other
its a special triangle
so its like
30° side = x
60° side = x(3^.5)
90° side = 2x

and from this we no that the side opposite the 90°angle is 2x
and taht is also the radius
and the radius is 100 m
so from taht we no taht x = 50 m
so taht means teh side opposite the 60° angle is 50(3^.5)
and teh side opposite the 30° angle is 50 m
so i we multiply taht by 6
then we have the perimeter of the triangle
which is 300 m

and we just use the area of an equilateral triangle to find its area
and thats it

pretty simple rite?

o0o
triangle is like factorial except you are supposed to add rather than multiply
o i get it
adn square is just squared numbers
i get it
thank you so much

#108 Re: Help Me ! » logic countting and everythign else » 2007-06-08 11:48:16

so what does triangle mean?
and does that formula always work??
does square mean that its square or some other meaning?
all this jargon confuses me hmmdunno ...

#109 Re: Help Me ! » logic countting and everythign else » 2007-06-08 09:20:25

im sry i really messed up with this thing
i forgot to put the commas in b/w the R's
there were supposed to be commas between the R's
sry
so taht kinda turns the whole question around kinda.
the answer was supposed to be like whether it was a S or R
really sry!

i dont think taht that counts as a number
its more like an expression rather than a number

how do find the answer to this problem???
i forgot what teh question asked specifically but it gave me a pattern
and asked me to find like the so and so number/letter in the pattern
i forgot which one they asked for
it was somewhere in the 800's
but how do u do it
the pattern is
Y,R,Y,R,R,Y,R,R,R,Y,R,R,R,R,Y,R,R,R,R,R,Y,R,R,R,R,R,R,Y,R,R,R,R,R,R,R...

#115 Re: Jokes » Bases » 2007-06-07 06:36:28

how come teh fact taht its in a different base doesnt change the way its pronounced?

#116 Re: This is Cool » this is fun » 2007-06-06 09:52:13

well my teacher told me that if u simplify it down to where both sides are the same number, then every solution works for that problem.
so maybe..
hmmm
i multiplied both sides by zero
and both sides were the same number.
so taht must mean taht 1+1 = the universe
w00t

well i guess ill be more specific next time.

#122 Re: Puzzles and Games » Drawing the line. » 2007-06-05 06:18:39

to piman's first answer, i said numbers, not digits, so urs is incorrect. and the main thing taht made this thingy impossible was taht it involved nine numbers, not 8 like in ur second response, which is what made it impossible. the nine b/c it was an odd number of numbers is what made the problem im possible. and bc urs used 8, that makes a big difference b/w our 2 problems.

#123 Re: Puzzles and Games » Drawing the line. » 2007-06-05 02:10:07

You start with zero. you must add or subtract each and every number between one thru nine. which numbers must you add or subtract to get 16 when adding or subtracting all the numbers??
