Thanks for the nice video. Do you have any recomendations to improve my geometry skills. I am not that good in geometry as I am in other parts of mathematics.
Thank you for watching the video. We're working on a new video on how to solve geometry problems, which will be uploaded next week. We hope you find it helpful.
@@SATMathPrepLTP Thank you. Looking forward to it. I would also appreciate if you could name some books that are good for geometry.
Another solution is this: If we draw a perpendicular line segment from point H to line segment EF, we create a 3-4-5 right triangle (since HK = 5 and AE = 4). Let's name the intersection point which is one of the vertices of this triangle as H'. This is the point where right angle HH'K resides. Let's name the third vertex of the triangle with the vertices K and F as F'. Let's name the third vertex of the triangle which has the common vertex F' with the triangle KFF' as Q'. Then all these 3 triangles (HH'K, KFF' and QQ'F') are similar with the side ratios 3x:4x:5x. Let's name the side of the triangle QQ'F' which is QQ' as b, Q'F' as a and QF' as c. Then b = 3x, a = 4x, c = 5x. The line segment DF' is k*a that is DF'/Q'F' = k. Then k = (a+b+c)/b = 4. Then k*a = 4*a = 4*4x = 16x. Since QC also equals to b then QC+QF'+DF' = 12. 3x+5x+16x = 12. x = 1/2. The area is 12*QC = 12*3x = 12*3*(1/2) = 18. By the way, AH = (k-1)*a = 3*4x = 12x =6. Moreover, the radius of the inner circle of the triangle HDF' also equals to a = 4x = 2
Your approach is great! Could you please provide a detailed explanation of how k = (a+b+c)/b was derived? I appreciate your effort in sharing another solution.
Previously, I explained that the line segment DF' = ka. This is because the triangle HDF' is also similar to the other aforementioned 3 triangles. With the similar logic we can say that DH = kb and HF' = kc. From HF' = CD (sides of the square) we get b+c+ka = a+kc (CQ+QF'+DF' = Q'F'+HF' respectively). Therefore k = (a-b-c)/(a-c) = (a-b-c)(a+c)/a^2-c^2 = (-b(a+c)-b^2)/-b^2 *** Focus on the triangle QQ'F' with the sides a,b,c where c being the hypothenuse. Here b^2 = c^2 - a^2. Therefore a^2 - c^2 = -b^2 *** And finally doing the math we get k = (a+b+c)/b

Another method: Same as up to 1:11 As △APB is right isosceles so ∠ABP = 45° It is already shown that ∠ABH = 60° so ∠HBP = ∠ABH - ∠ABP = 15° By the inscribed angle theorem ∠HPB = ∠HAB = 30° So ∠PHB = 180° - (30° + 15°) = 135° Define PH as x. Apply the Law of Cosines to △PHB: 2² = x² + (√2)² - x(2√2)cos(135°) cos(135°) = -(√2/2) so this rearranges to give the quadratic x² + 2x - 2 = 0 which solves to x = √3 - 1 or -1 - √3. Discard the -ve result to leave x = √3 - 1
3rd method: Once it is determined that ∠PHB = 135° then the Law of Sines can be applied to △PHB: x/(sin 15°) = 2/(sin 135°) sin 15° = (√6 - √2)/2 sin 135° = √2/2 So x = (2(√6 - √2)/2)/(√2/2) = √3 - 1

Hello y'all! We keep getting comments about TTS (Text-to-speech). Currently, the reason for using this system is to maintain accuracy, consistency, and to save time. We make these videos after work to share with y'all, so it takes about 3-4 days to create one video, and it would take more time to record my voice. We understand that people might not prefer AI voices, but using TTS saves time, allowing us to continuously upload videos. You can refer to the linked video to hear my real voice. In the future, I hope the program will allow me to use my voice. Thank you and have a great 2025! th-cam.com/video/Ai9Ohgb254M/w-d-xo.html
There was one subtle unexplained leap that I couldn’t follow. How do you know that r is half of 6-r?
Because the side lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle are always in the ratio of 1:√3:2. PQ(6-r) is the side opposite the 90° angle and PR(r) is the side opposite the 30° angle. so, r:(6-r)=1:2. Thank you.
Solution: R = radius of the large circle = 6, r = radius of the small circles, A = center of the left circle at the top, B = center of the left circle at the bottom, M = center of the large circle, C = point of contact of the left circle at the top. Due to the symmetry and the division of the hexagon, consisting of the centers of the small circles, into 6 equilateral triangles, BMA is an equilateral triangle with side length s = 2r. Now CM = 2r+r = 3r = R = 6 |/3 ⟹ r = 2 ⟹ s = 2*2 = 4 Height of an equilateral triangle = h = √(4²-2²) = √12, Area of an equilateral triangle = F = s*h/2 = 4*√12/2 = 2*√12 The 6 small circles that form a hexagon have, as usual for a hexagon, an opening angle of 120° at the center, which is a third of a circle. All 6 together have an area of 6/3 = 2 small circles. Thus, the colored area is = area of 6 equilateral triangles - area of 2 small circles = 6*2*√12-2*π*2² = 12*√12-8*π = 24*√3-8*π = 8*(3*√3-π) ≈ 16.4365
Your approach with the equilateral triangles is impressive. I appreciate you sharing your solution!
Solution: R = radius of the large circle = 2, r = radius of the small circles, s = side of the equilateral triangle, M = middle of the line BC. MCO is the famous right-angled triangle with angles 90° - 30° - 60°. This means that MO = R/2 = 2/2 = 1. And according to the Pythagorean theorem: MC = s/2 = √(2²-1²) = √3 |*2 ⟹ s = 2*√3. D = point of contact of the two lower blue circles, E = center of the left, lower, blue circle. Pythagoras for the right-angled triangle EDO: OE² = ED²+DO² ⟹ (R-r)² = r²+(MO+r)² ⟹ (2-r)² = r²+(1+r)² ⟹ 4-4r+r² = r²+1+2r+r² |-4+4r-r² ⟹ r²+6r-3 = 0 |p-q formula ⟹ r1/2 = -3±√(9+3) = -3±√12 = -3±2*√3 ⟹ r1 = -3+2*√3 and r2 = -3-2*√3 [invalid in geometry] ⟹ Area of the 6 small, blue circles = 6*π*(-3+2*√3)² = 6*π*(9-12*√3+12) = 6*(21-12*√3)*π = 18*(7-4*√3)*π ≈ 4.0600

Text-to-Speech ruins every video.
I don't think TTS ruins every video. I actually enjoy this channel's videos. The subtitles are much clearer and more accurate than automated ones.
it's probably because the author has a very strong accent and is embarrassed or ashamed to voice their own content. Perhaps one day society will change and not judge a book by its cover and instead judge solely by its content.
Hi, great challenge. Also, there is another solution: It is easy to see that triangle ADC has a surface of 120 units. And this surface is also given by tyhe formula sin(x) * (1/2) * AD * DC; which can be obtained by the pythagoric formula of it´s sides Thank you

A different angle chasing route: In △BCD: ∠BCD = 180° - (15° + 40°) = 125° As BC is tangent to circle Q at C then ∠BCQ = 90° and so ∠QCD = 125° - 90° = 35° △CQD is isosceles so ∠QCD = ∠QDC = 35° and so ∠QDK = 40° - 35° = 5° △DQK is isosceles so ∠QKD = ∠QDK = 5° Circle P and circle Q are tangent at K, so P, K and Q are colinear. ∠PKB and ∠QKD are opposite angles so ∠PKB = ∠QKD = 5° △BPK is isosceles so ∠PBK = ∠PKB = 5° and so ∠PBK = 180° - (5° + 5°) = 170° ∠BAK (= x) is drawn from the same chord (BK) as ∠BPK so by the inscribed angle theorem ∠BAK = (∠BPK)/2 = 170°/2 = 85°
Thank you for the detailed explanation! I appreciate how you've broken down each step. Have a great rest of your day!
Solution: y = -x²+6x+7 This is a quadratic parabola that opens downwards. Zeros of this function: -x²+6x+7 = 0 |*(-1) ⟹ x²-6x-7 = 0 |p-q formula ⟹ x1/2 = 3±√(9+7) = 3±4 ⟹ x1 = 3+4 = 7 and x2 = 3-4 = -1 ⟹ B = (-1;0) and C = (7;0) The highest point = vertex of this parabola lies exactly between the two zeros, so: xH = (-1+7)/2 = 3 ⟹ yH = -3²+6*3+7 = 16 ⟹ A = (3;16) r = radius of the circle = BP = CP = AP. D = point exactly below P = (3;0). Pythagoras: DC²+DP² = CP² ⟹ (7-3)²+(16-r)² = r² ⟹ 4²+16²-32r+r² = r² |-r²+32r ⟹ 272 = 32r |/32 ⟹ r = 8.5

Thank you for offering different methods to solve this problem. Your input is much appreciated.
I got to the point where I'd calculated EQ = 2√5 A dropped perpendicular from E to OQ gives a right triangle with legs 4 and 2 and hypotenuse 2√5, so ∠OQE = arccos(√5/5) = ∠OQP △QOP is isosceles and so ∠POQ = 180° - 2arccos(√5/5) Using the law of cosines on △QOP gives (PQ)² = 32(1 - cos(∠POQ)) = 32(1 - (3/5)) = 64/5 So PQ = √(64/5) = (8√5)/5

OK, just a small word of advice: when you're posing a question involving circle theorems, r usually denotes the radius of the circle, which in this case is 115/2 = 57.5 Of all the letters available to you, why would you choose r to represent a quantity other than the radius? A quantity that is not even easily represented on the diagram?

Uh, what does this have to do cosign of an angle, as mentioned in the title? I solved it using slightly calculations, but generally the same way, using the Pythagorean Theorem.
I forgot to change the title. It was the previous one. Thank you for letting me know.
Hi everyone, one of our viewers noticed an error in our previous video, and we have now corrected it. The question has been adjusted for clarity. We hope this updated video is helpful. Thank you!
I did all manner of things after using law of cosines to show CD = 1 as per the video. Brahmagupta's formula to get [ABCD] = 2√3 30-60-90 △ rule to show that the height of △ABE is √3 (if AE is the base). So 2x [△CDE] = (p + 3)√3 - 4√3 = (p - 1)√3 Dropping a perpendicular from D to CE gives another 30-60-90 △ to show that the height of △CDE is √3/2 (with CE as the base), so 2x [△CDE] = q√3/2 Hence p - 1 = q/2 so q = 2p - 2 Intersecting secants theorem shows that p(p + 3) = q(q + 2). Substitute in q = 2p - 2 to give p² + 3p = 4p² - 4p which solves to p = 7/3 and so q = 8/3 Then [△CDE] = (8/3)(√3/2)(1/2) = (2√3)/3
I like how you used Brahmagupta's formula to solve the problem. Geometry problems often have multiple approaches, and I appreciate you sharing these various solutions. Have a good one!!
Another 2 methods: 1) Determine that AB = AC = 4√2 as per the video. Extend AO to form a diameter AF. By Thales's theorem, you have a right triangle △ABF with hypotenuse AF = 6. So by Pythagoras BF = 2 The point H (as in the video) gives another right triangle △BHF which is similar to △ABF and so it can be shown that BH = (4√2)/3, and so BC = (8√2)/3 2) ∠OAD = ∠OAE = arctan(1/(2√2)) Law of cosines: BC² = (4√2)² + (4√2)² - 2(4√2)(4√2)cos(2arctan(1/(2√2))) BC² = 64 - (64·⁹/₇) = 128/9 So BC = √(128/9) = (8√2)/3
Thank you for offering two different methods to solve this problem. It's always beneficial to explore multiple approaches and understand the problem from different angles. Your input is much appreciated.
hi. I did something wrong in my solutin but i dont know what. as BQ is KD because if we rotate averything it´s the same, therefore qc = kc and kqc = 45 deg and bqp = 135 deg, and the sum of the angles of a cuadrilateral equals 360 deg, so x = 45 deg an cos(45 deg) = root(2)/2. what i did wrong and why. Very interesting video and solution.
