gpt | We can see that $\angle AOC = 360^\circ - (110^\circ + 100^\circ) = 150^\circ.$ Now, $\triangle AOC$ and $\triangle AOB$ are both isosceles triangles. That means that $\angle OAC = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (180^\circ - 150^\circ) = 15^\circ$ and $\angle OAB = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (180^\circ - 110^\circ) = 35^\circ.$ Therefore, ... |

gpt | Because triangles $D$ is the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$ and $\overline{AE}$, $ABEC$ must be a parallelogram, so $AB=CE=11$. Then because triangle $ABC$ is isosceles, $BC=AB=11$. That means $BD=
\frac{11}{2}$ or $\boxed{5.5}$. |

gpt | Each of sector $ABD$ and $BDC$ is one-sixth of a full circle of radius $12,$ so each has area one-sixth of the area of a circle of radius $12.$ Therefore, each sector has area $$\frac{1}{6}(\pi(12^2))=\frac{1}{6}(144\pi)=24\pi.$$ Thus, the area of figure $ABCD$ is $2( 24\pi)=\boxed{48\pi}.$ |

gpt | A cone with radius $r$ and height $h$ has volume $(1/3)\pi r^2 h$; a cylinder with the same radius and height has volume $\pi r^2 h$. Thus we see the volume of the corresponding cone has 1/3 the volume of the cylinder, which is $(1/3)(54\pi = \boxed{18\pi}$ cubic cm. |

The diameter of the cone's base is $12\sqrt{3}$ inches. A sphere is placed inside the cone so that it is tangent to the sides of the cone and sits on the table. What is the volume... |
gpt | Since the vertex angle of the cross-section triangle measures $60^\circ$, the cross-section triangle is equilateral. Also, the cross-section of the sphere inscribed in the cone is a circle tangent to each of the triangle's sides.

gpt | The four white quarter circles in each tile have the same area as a whole circle of radius $1/2$, that is, $\pi(1/2)^2 = \pi/4$ square feet. So the area of the shaded portion of each tile is $ 1 - \pi/4$ square feet. Since there are $8\cdot 10 = 80$ tiles in the entire floor, the area of the total shaded region in squa... |

Let these points lie on the base of the triangle, so the base has length $5-(-1)=6$. The height is the perpendicular distance from $(10,3)$ to this line, which is $10-4=6$. The area is t... |

Then he throws ten giant ice cubes that measure $2$ inches on each side into the container. In inches cubed, how much of the container is unoccupied by ice or water? |
gpt | First let's compute the volume of the container. The container measures $10\times10\times10$ so its volume is $$10\cdot10\cdot10=10^3=1000$$inches cubed. Since the container is only half full, there are $$\frac{1}{2}\cdot10^3=500$$inches cubed of water in it. Additionally, there are ten ice cubes each with a volume of... |

gpt | Let $O$ denote the origin, $P$ the center of the circle, and $r$ the radius. A radius from the center to the point of tangency with the line $y = x$ forms a right triangle with hypotenuse $\overline{OP}$. This right triangle is isosceles since the line $y=x$ forms a $45^\circ$ angle with the $y$-axis. So \[r\sqrt{2}=... |

human | Two cross sections of a right hexagonal pyramid are obtained by cutting the pyramid with planes parallel to the hexagonal base. The areas of the cross sections are $216\sqrt{3}$ square feet and $486\sqrt{3}$ square feet. The two planes are $8$ feet apart. How far from the apex of the pyramid is the larger cross section... |
gpt | The ratio of the areas of the cross sections is equal to $\frac{216\sqrt{3}}{486\sqrt{3}} = \frac 49$. Since the ratio of the area of two similar figures is the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides, it follows that the ratio of the corresponding sides of the cross-sections is equal to $\sqrt{\frac 49} = \fr... |

human | A circle is inscribed in a square, then a square is inscribed in this circle, and finally, a circle is inscribed in this square. What is the ratio of the area of the smaller circle to the area of the larger square? |
gpt | Let the radius of the smaller circle be $r$. Then the side length of the smaller square is $2r$. The radius of the larger circle is half the length of the diagonal of the smaller square, so it is $\sqrt{2}r$. Hence the larger square has sides of length $2\sqrt{2}r$. The ratio of the area of the smaller circle to the ar... |

Note that the sum of the measures of the smallest and largest angles is equal to the sum of the measures of the second smallest and second largest angles. This means that the sum of the measures of the smallest and largest angles is equal... |
