ABCD is a square with area 9. efgc is a square in which EC=1/3(BC). HIJC is s square in which HC=1/3(EC). If this pattern is continued so that there are a total of ten squares with common vertex at C. and in which each square lies inside its predecessor, what is the area of the tenth square?
Answer: 9^-8

in the fig, triangle PQR ~ TUV. point S is the midpoint of QR AND POINT W is the midpoint of UV. If PR/TV = 3/5 WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE FOLLOWING ratio?
Area of triangle PSR / Area of triangle TUV.
note:Large fig is not 90 degree, not to scale

Thank you Bobby. I got it. You made the problem easy.

#8 Re: Introductions » Problem#3 Grade 11 Geometry » 2010-06-29 03:34:47

I think first time you guys came across someone who is that bad in Math

#9 Re: Introductions » Problem#3 Grade 11 Geometry » 2010-06-29 03:29:09

ZHERO:
ADC∼CDB (One triangle looks bigger than other one????) they don't looks equal. Are you saying something about ratio

Bobby:
what is a² and what is h²
if (10-x) is AD
so DB should be 10+x or the same 10-x ???

lost again. hate Pythagorean.

#10 Re: Introductions » Geometry: grade 11 problem#4 » 2010-06-29 03:11:41

Thank you guys,
but I really have no Idea what ZHERO did? HOW you come with
10² + x² = (6 + √(x² - 4²))² ?????????????


Bobby
4^2 + 6^2 = c^2 = 52 (c should be 10)
4^2 + x^2 = s^2  (4 + x^2 = s^2 <--- should be this)??
I know, I ask so many questions, sorry my teachers told me too.
I hate this question. Help me, Please,

!!!Where did you learn this stuff!!!
you guys know almost everything in math.
  ********** thank you bobby***********
I have two questions which I asked couple of math teachers but couldn't get the answers (even reply:). I know you can solve those problems. I will write and try to ask you later, as soon as my computer work properly. I think they  involve Numerical Approximation and differentiation.

A sphere is inside a cube. What is volume of sphere?
I don't remember exactly what was the question, perhaps they gave the volume of cube i.e: 100³.
thank you

Please can you explain that actually what this question is asking.  What this equation will do. I still don't know how to come up the equation. Am I finding length which is equal to this function. It is quadratic equation, so there are two W??
I am not good in math. Sorry.
