    Math Challenge

    • 906 Words
    • 4 Pages

    This math challenge was easy to approach, because I realized that the lines O1O, O1O2, and O2O1, form a triangle, I realized that if that triangle was a right triangle I could find the distance between O1, and O. To prove that triangle OO1O2 is a right triangle I used the radii of O1, I realized that the sides of triangle PO1Q, O1P, and O1Q, are radii, and therefore they are equal. Since they are equal, the triangle PO1Q, is an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle the base angles are…

    is also used in Euclidian Geometry. “A” squared plus “B” squared equals “C” squared is the formula used in the theorem. For example, we are given two numbers in the sides of a triangle; if we are given the adjacent and opposite sides, and we must figure out the hypotenuse, we will be required to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The two numbers given are squared, and our third number, we obtain it from the sum of the two numbers squared. Pythagoras’s theorem applies to geometry; however, it can…

    Figure 2.1 is a polygon with 12 sides. The polygon is not convex, as there is at least one reex angle. The objective of the art gallery problem is to hire the most efficient number of guards required to have vision of each point inside of the polygon. Begin with the process of vertex guards. The most visually optimal way to prove the result _n 3 _ is by first triangulating the polygon. Every vertex of the polygon can be attached in such a way that the entire polygon is made up of solely…

    he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. The reason that he didn’t was Bernoulli saw his mathematical potential and advocated for him to become a mathematician. Leonhard Euler didn’t just help in one specific part of math he helped in geometry, calculus, trigonometry, algebra, number theory, physics, lunar theory and astronomy. He is responsible for the function f (x),…

    Over time, the Greek civilization has had many different and unique inventions. However, Greek Geometry was one of the most crucial inventions ever discovered. Geometry helped to find out precise measurements, construct advanced architecture, and become the leading civilization in mathematics. The invention was discovered by a mathematician named Euclid. He had many math theorems of his own, and later wrote his own book. The Elements contained all the works from previous Greek mathematicians,…
