Great, thank you so much!

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:51

So I can?

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:49

I was trying to see if I could use that side to show that they were similar but I can't then right?

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:49

but they're different sides of the respective triangles

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:49

They both share the length BD

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:48

So it has nothing directly to do with the fact that they both share BD?

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:48

So all three angles are the same?

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:48

Because they both have 90 degrees angle?

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:47

so that's one angle down

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:47

so DCB=ABD

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:47

DCB-ABD=0

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:40

I'm trying, but I can't :/

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:37

90 degrees

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:36

@Astyx Well DBC+DCB=90 degrees and ABD+DBC=ABC?

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:18

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Turbo

Dec 4, 2020 16:18

I get the answer A which is correct if I assume that ABD and DBC are similar triangles. The trouble is I can't see how they are similar triangles?

I'm doing a very basic geometry problem

@Nihar gotcha!

Turbo

@satan29 why isn't it half a sphere? e.g. when you look at the moon one half is illuminated

Turbo

Nov 21, 2020 10:11

What am I missing?

Turbo

Nov 21, 2020 10:11

The answer is 3.14km^2 but my first thought is 6.2km^2 as it's half the area of the sphere which is 4pir^2

Turbo

Nov 21, 2020 10:11

I wanted to ask - a problem has an asteroid of radius 1km illuminated by sunlight. The question asks what area should be used to calculate the solar power absorbed by the asteroid.

I have lived in the UK for the last 18 years and am Canadian and French, but for some odd reason I follow US politics more closely than any other political system

Turbo

Sep 22, 2020 03:34

Suffice it to say, I wholeheartedly agree with your political analysis of the situation in the USA

Turbo

@Cerberus so pristine kitchen would be fine in a sentence?
