Some very interesting and important functions are formed by dividing the length of one side of a right triangle by the length of another side. These functions are called trigonometric because they come from the geometry of a triangle. The domain ... | 677.169 | 1 |
triple product is a product of three vectors. The name "triple product" is used for two different products, the scalar-valued scalar triple product and, less often, the vector-valued vector triple product.
Scalar triple product
The scalar triple product (also called the mixed or box product) is defined as the other two... | 677.169 | 1 |

where n > 0 and a and b are the radii of the oval shape. The case n = 2 yields an ordinary ellipse; increasing n beyond 2 yields the hyperellipses, which increasingly resemble rectangles; decreasing n below 2 yields hypoellipses which develop pointy corners in the x and y directions and increasingly resemble crosses. T... | 677.169 | 1 |
Equilateral Triangles Puzzle
The triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with an area S and a side length a. The line CF is a continuation of the line AC, AD is a continuation of BA and BE is a continuation of CB. The length of all continuation segments (CF, AD and BE) is a—the same as the length of triangle ABC's side... | 677.169 | 1 |
geometry I am studying for my GRE exam into grad school and it's been a very long time since I've done geometry. I have a problem to which I need to solve for the area of a triangle but I do not have the base. I do have all angles but I cannot remember how to convert angles into their ...

Triangle Inequality
TopIn a triangle there are three sides, than any one side of a triangle is always smaller than the sum of all the two other sides is the inequalities of triangle. In just opposite case, if any one side of a triangle is always larger than the sum of all the two sides than the triangle cannot be obtai... | 677.169 | 1 |
Parts of Circles
When we study Geometry, and look at the Circle, we say that the circle is a round figure, which has its boundary at equal distance from a Point called Centre of the circle. If we look at different parts of the circle we use the terms center, radius, arc, diameter, sector and a Chord. We first talk abou... | 677.169 | 1 |
So, center point of circle x = 5 and y = 8 means C (5, 8) is a center of circle.
Method 2: If a circle equation is given like–
(x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2,
Then here value of 'a' and 'b' is behaving like a center of circle and value of center of circle is equals to C (a, b).
Suppose, we have a circle equation–
(x – 5)2 + ... | 677.169 | 1 |

what is a 90 degree angle triangle called?
Possible Answer
In geometry and trigonometry, a right angle is an angle that bisects the angle formed by two halves of a straight line. More precisely, if a ray is placed so that its endpoint is on a line and the adjacent angles are equal, then they are right angles. As a rota... | 677.169 | 1 |
A real line is - in fact, some of you in fancy restaurants might see these kind of breadsticks. This is still not capturing the spirit of the line because the line actually has no thickness. So even as delicious as these are - and these are really good and crunchy. Can you hear the crunch on that? Umm, it is delicious,... | 677.169 | 1 |
There is a question using both the law of Sines and Cosines, and first you solve for a side and use it to find an angle. Say the side is an irrational number (ex. 10.254873209). Can a student round it to say the nearest hundredth and use it to solve an angle OR should a student use the 10.254873209 to solve the angle?
