Someone explain the bad math of this problem to me:
A size of a jumbo candy bar with a rectangular shape is l x w x h. Due to the rising costs of cocoa, the volume of the candy bar is to be reduced by p%. to accomplish this, the management decided to keep the thickness, h, of the candy bar the same, and reduce the length and width by the same amount. For example, if l = 12, w = 7, h = 3, and p = 10, then the new dimension of the candy bar is 11.39 x 6.64 x 3. Write a program to accomplish this.
How the fuck do you get 11.39 from 12 with a 10 percent difference?

What fucking dopes are writing textbooks nowadays?

It’s 5% less than 12

The volumetric reduction is distributed to 2 dimensions

If you calculate the volume reduction, it is correct

10% decrease is a factor of 0.9. Distribute this across n dimensions by the nth root.

Sqrt(0.9) ≈0.949

👍

This hasn't to do with volume though, it's purely dimensional.

The only thing this problems asks to account for is length, width, and height.

I understand where you're coming from, but going off of what the problem asks for, volume isn't a factor

It says right there in your text
**"the volume of the candy bar is to be reduced by p%"** verbatim

I need more sleep

I'm actually fucking retarded. 🔫

I love the maths problems which give you WALLSOFTEXT and only like half a line is actually relevant. It's almost like an English test.

🤔

Look at the big brain on doosie <:salute:585703510255861761>

This is programming first and foremost, and when you're highschool doesn't require geometry and your college doesn't either, you kinda fall off with your math skills.

Then there is the asshole teacher who also gives you a 1 line equation and like an hour to solve it.

Algebra is fine. Geometry... not so much.

And you come back tomorrow being proud and he tells you your answer is wrong.

trig can burn

Fun times.

He's an asshole but you cant not admire his style.

I halved P to account for every dimension im altering, and I come up with 11.49 and 6.65 for length and width respectively. A tad off, anything I can do to reach the answer provided exactly?

11.4

scuse me, mistyped

I think you need to sleep. It's sqrt(1 - p%).

Never learned that equation. I'll have to write that one down for future reference.

And what's the name for that equation specifically?

I dunno. I dont memorise names

Fair enough

They call him a far-right conspiracy theorist despite the fact that he knows he just does it for entertainment.

You'd think they'd stop listening to him seriously at either A. Turning frogs gay with chemical water or B. Having a full on discussion on how to properly open a pickle jar.
