    Geometry on Khan Academy: We are surrounded by space. And that space contains lots of things. And these things have shapes. In geometry we are concerned with the nature of these shapes, how we define them, and what they teach us about the world at large--from math to architecture to biology to astronomy (and everything in between). Learning geometry is about more than just taking your medicine ("It's good for you!"), it's at the core of everything that exists--including you. Having said all that, some of the specific topics we'll cover include angles, intersecting lines, right triangles, perimeter, area, volume, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, analytic geometry, and geometric constructions. Wow. That's a lot. To summarize: it's difficult to imagine any area of math that is more widely used than geometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    I love how I could pretty much prove this on my own before I even watched this video. Yet a few moths ago a I barely passed my test by 1%
    . Somehow khan academy has boosted me beyond ever actually needing to watch the videos. Like I find everything so easy in class now having it explained to me twice is useless. Thanks Khan, I love math!

      I was able to make it this far on my own. However, simplifying the formula I made(the one at the end of the video) into heron's formula, was something I could not do on my own. Just couldn't understand how

    I am glad that height is discovered. When we will mutiply it with the base we will definitely get the area of the triangle. In case of 1' 2 and 3 first we may find the height of that particular triangle. In case we don' t got it then there the problem of discivoring height would be remain a mystery.

    TH-cam won't let me type the up arrow so just imagine that the ampersand: & represents the power symbol.
    (c - x) & 2=
    (c - x) * (c - x) =
    c * (c - x) - x * (c - x) =
    c&2 - cx - cx + x&2 =
    c&2 - 2cx + x&2
    Also, if it was (c + x) & 2, the answer would be c&2 +2cx + x&2, notice that it is 2cx is not negative now. Most people have this memorized, that's why he didn't bother to explain it.

  • @MrPcadler
    @MrPcadler 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Use triangle C=3, A=2, B=1. So the square root of this times 1/2 C, which would be x 1.5.
    The square root of A^2-(C^2+A^2-B^2/2C)^2 .So 4-9(9+4-1)/(6))^2. so 4-(12/6)^2.
    4-(2)^2= 4-4=0. 1.5 x 0 is 0. Simon, your probably some 6th grade mathematician who just got a calculator from the 99 cent store.

      Phillip Adler A triangle with sides of lengths 1, 2, 3 its impossible because 1+2=3 and "Given a triangle ABC, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side."

  • @simonshugar1651
    @simonshugar1651 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    This formula is not right. If you have side lengths 1, 2, and 3 on a triangle, it will have no area. Sides 1 and 2 put together = 3. I used the formula that you ended with for this video and substituted these numbers for the letters. a = 1, b = 2, and c = 3. The area of my "triangle" turned out being 1.11803398875... I did it on a calculator.

    You just did the math wrong. With a=1, b=2, c=3, the formula gives an area of zero as expected.

    • @aaronwang9817
      @aaronwang9817 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@divyoroy9056 A "triangle" with those side lengths would become a 1-dimensional line, which would have area 0. This shows that the formula works for "triangles" with odd side lengths, and goes to show the consistencies with math, just like how sin and cos work for angles larger than 90 degrees. That is not dumb, but in fact, good, as it proves that the formula is consistent.
