to find the C angle you just have to subtract 180 from angle A and angle B

180-59-67=54 degrees again with our other angle. 180-59-112=9 degrees

@bohemian52983 I took that last year and loved it, good luck and I know you'll do great!

next we just have to use the sine formula but SinA/a = SinC/c and cross multiply and isolate to get SinC(a)/SinA = c and keep in mind the you have to do this twice with 54 degrees and 9 degrees

I used 54 degrees and got a length of 12.2 9 degrees and got 2.3 which is close enough to 2.2 so the actual answer was d

how the hell does this work

i got 7 but there was no 7

the last answer kills me

🤣

yeah, pretty accurate

I think it would first see the larger of a or b than the minimum of c and the larger of a,b

yeah, larger is a, so 4, then the 3 from c

its either 6 or 7, and ive got no idea

same bro

I see you too have been using guns as your go to controversial topic

There’s only 2,3,4 so I puked assume it’s 3

It's three

Yeah I thought it was weird fornit to be 7 since it looks like they are looking for the largest or smallest

It’s 3, but couldn’t you have copied and pasted it to whatever Java IDE you use?

that's cheating though, no?

I guess it depends on the teacher/professor. I’ve had classes where we were encouraged to use any available resources

idk

It's not cheating when are programming at your work place

oh well, lol

Would anyone be kind enough to help me out with some geometry? I need to calculate the surface area of a candle. It's mostly a simply cylinder, but it has an indent, and I want to make sure I'm calculating everything properly.

I created this diagram.

**V = (𝛑1.5^2 * 4.5) - (𝛑1.25^2 * 1.25)**

This is the equation I came up with. Can anyone verify this?

(*V=πr^2h* is the equation for cylinder volume.)

It's the volume of the red minus the volume of the green, so if your formula calculates that I'd say it's right

Do you know what the functions each do?

Thanks. That's what I did, I'm just looking for review in case someone else sees something I missed.

**SA = (2𝛑1.5^2 + 2𝛑1.5 * 4.5) + (2𝛑1.25*1.25)**

I believe this is what the surface area would be?

Where'd the extra 2 come from?

Volume is surface * height yeah

Basically it calculates the surface area of the red cylinder then adds the surface area of the green cylinder's walls/sides.

Since it would be necessary to count that too.

Well the surface area their faces times their heights

*SA (of a cylinder) = 2πrh+2πr2^2*

I just reversed it.

So I did *2πr2^2 + 2πrh*.

Are you looking to find surface area or volume?

Both.

Oh cool lol. Took me a minute

**V = (𝛑1.5^2 * 4.5) - (𝛑1.25^2 * 1.25)
SA = (2𝛑1.5^2 + 2𝛑1.5 * 4.5) + (2𝛑1.25*1.25)**

These are my calculations.

I'm not familiar with SA but volume looks fine

Cool, thanks.

Bonus points: do you know why pi is used in the calculations?

It's used in cylinder measurements because cylinders are based around a circle, not some sort of shape with flat sides, and pi is..

Well, in case I botch my definition, from Google: "Pi is the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle."

Excellent!

Circles intrigue me because they really don't have sides like polygons do.

Or do they have an infinite number of sides?

Of 0 length

🤔 Good question...

You've got a good head on your shoulders. Never lose that curiosity!

That's what makes great scientists and engineers.

Thanks!

You are correct.

Now, reposting in comprehensive form in case someone else comes by and can vet it...

V = (𝛑1.5^2 * 4.5) - (𝛑1.25^2 * 1.25)
SA = (2𝛑1.5^2 + 2𝛑1.5 * 4.5) + (2𝛑1.25*1.25)

Part of an assignment for geometry class. Does this look correct?

@WalterMelon (him/her/nigerian) yeah, math.max take the maximum of the two numbers and math.min takes the minimum

i just cant figure out if it wants the max/min of all 3 integers or just the ones in the closest parenthesis

The innermost would evaluate first, and the result would be used by the next one.

Each function only operates on numbers, so the one that has only numbers goes first

would it add them after??

No

Each function chooses one number

oh, and the 2nd time around would have given me the answer?

That's right

ah ok, thanks, im not the best at math

Imagine max working. What's the answer of just that?

4

Right. Then, the rest of the process is evaluating min(4, 3)

so it was 3,

Correct!

thanks, i usually just rely on the help code my teacher provides but i gotta at least learn something thatll be on tests

It's good to figure out what's going on, sometimes the answers give insight

yeah

You learning C or C++?

Or Java?

java main

Nice. I work with Java sometimes.

i gotta use something called code HS

That sounds like a system to run code and check answers

yeah,

in coding, do you copy and paste alot or just write most by typing?

Both, and sometimes the code editor will suggest to completion options.

But the latter two are mostly time savers

Most of the time I work on something that someone's already done, and make changes, add or remove things.

Something someone on my team has worked on.

ah, the codehs thing is just like a blank page, so i have to remember all the different lines and procedures i have to do. thats where i fail, i have a shoddy memory

Stack Overflow is what I use to reference code

It's tough, but it sticks after a while. The main importance is to know what you want to accomplish, and the syntax is secondary to some extent. There are plugins for editors called "linters" that catch little mistakes.

Same

oh, usually if i get something wrong i have to go and look for it, and it takes too much time with having to look all of it up and type it out
