141. If $D$ is the diameter of a sphere, then $\frac{D^{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{21} \cdot \frac{D^{3}}{2}$ is the measure of the volume of the sphere. Determine the value of $\pi$ for which this statement is true. | 141. We have $\frac{D^{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{21} \cdot \frac{D^{3}}{2}=\frac{\pi D^{3}}{6}$, or $\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{21} \cdot \frac{1}{2}$, from which

144. Solve the equation in rational numbers:

$$
## A modern Indian problem. | 144. The equation $a x+b y+c=x y$ can be transformed as: $c=x y-a x-b y$.
Adding $a b$ to both sides:
$$
a b+c=x y-a x-b y+a b
$$
or
$$
a b+c=y(x-b)-a(x-b)=(x-b)(y-a)

Bhaskara concludes that in the case of rational $x$ and $y$, one should take:

## Problem from the treatise "Mena hot."
Talmud. | 147. The tractate "Ohalot" (Tents) contains a number of geometric questions. In this problem, if we call the side of the square $S$, and the circumference of the circle $C$, we have $4 S - C = S$, i.e., $C = 3 S$; since $S$ is equal to the diameter of the inscribed circle, then $2 \pi R = 6 R$, hence, $\pi = 3$. | \pi=3 | Geometry | math-word-problem | Yes | Yes | olympiads | false | 37,788 |

$$
(x+y)^{2}=a^{2}+2 b,(x-y)^{2}=a^{2}-2 b

therefore,

The larger side is $x+\frac{d}{2}$, then the smaller side is $x-\frac{d}{2}$, hence $x^{2}-\frac{d^{2}}{4}=a^{2}, \quad$ from which $x=$ $=\sqrt{\frac{d^{2}}{4}+a^{2}}$; this is simpler than taking both sides ... | \sqrt{\frac{^{2}}{4}+^{2}} | Algebra | math-word-problem | Yes | Yes | olympiads | false | 37,912 |
