    0.12034 13:35 I did it differently. We know the three squares' total length, 6X, but we don't know the right and left triangle lengths which are halves of equilateral triangles.
    We know the height of the altitude of the equilateral triangle, sqrt 3/4 or 0.866 (from sqrt of 1^2- 1/2^2, Pythagorean Theorem) and its base, 1. Therefore, the ratio is 0.866/1 or the base is 1.1547 ( 1/0.866) its altitude. Since the right triangle's altitude is 3X, its base is 3.464X (3X times 1.1547). And hence its length is 1.732X (3.464X/2).
    Since the left triangle's altitude is X, its base is 1.1547X (X times 1.1547). And hence its length is 0.57735 X (1.1547X/2).
    So TOTAL length of the two triangles + 3 squares :
    0.57735X + 1.732X +6X=1
    8.309X =1
    X= 1/8.309
    X=0.120346 Answer 13:35

    The similarity ratio between the two triangles located on both sides of the squares is: X/3X=1/3. Since the sum of their bases is 1-6X, the base of the triangle on the left is 3(1-6X)/4 and the base of the triangle on the right (1-6X)/4. Since it is half of an equilateral triangle and its height is X, we can state that: X=(√3)(1-6X)/4 → X(4+6√3)=√3 → X=√ 3/(4+6√3)=0.120345

    As ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle, the angle at all three vertices is 60°, and all sides are the same length 1. As the line segments ED and FG are the sides of squares whose adjacent sides are the baseline of the triangle, ∠EDB and ∠AFG are right triangles. This means that ∠BED and ∠GAF are 30° angles, and ∆EDB and ∆AFG are 30-60-90 special right triangles and thus similar.As a 30-60-90 right triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x the length of the short leg, and the long leg is √3 times the length of the short side. As 30-60-90 right triangles, the hypotenuse is 2x the length of the short leg, and the long leg is √3 times the length of the short side.
    By observation, AB, which we know to be of length 1, is also of length 6x + AF + DB. These line segments are the short legs of their respective triangles. Let DB = y and AF = z. Therefore:
    6x + y + z = 1 ---- (1)
    Triangle ∆EDB:
    DE = √3y
    x = √3y
    y = x/√3
    Triangle ∆AFG:
    FG = √3z
    3x = √3z
    z = 3x/√3 = √3x
    6x + (x/√3) + (√3x) = 1
    18x/3 + √3x/3 + 3√3x/3 = 1
    x(18+4√3)/3 = 1
    x = 3/(18+4√3)
    x = 3(18-4√3)/(18+4√3)(18-4√3)
    x = (54-12√3)/(324-48) = 6(9-2√3)/276
    x = (9-2√3)/46 = 9/46 - √3/23 ≈ 0.12

  • @kienthanhle6230
    @kienthanhle6230 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's a fun and easy problem sir
    My solution:
    We can easily see that the angle GAF is equal to 60 degree, therefore AF = GF / tan 60 = 3x / sqrt(3)
    Similarly, DB = x/sqrt(3)
    We also have AB = AF + DB + 6x = x(6 + 4/sqrt(3)) = 1
    Therefore x = 1/ (6 + 4/sqrt(3))
    Edit: You can also solve this if you noticed that a 90-60-30 triangle is actually just half of a equalateral triangle, effectively making the problem solvables just by using 6th grade math.

    Thank you guru.
    I think AF= half of GF. ie AF = 3x/2. For same reason DB = x/2. So the sum of base line = 3x/2 + 3x + 2x + x + x/2 = 1. So 16x = 2. Then x = 1/8 = 0.125

    Good grief, he makes a meal of this one, and gets the wrong answer.
    On either side there is a 30 degree triangle. Cos 30 degrees is a half, so on the right the distance from the square to the apex of the triangle is x/2 and on the left 3x/2. So 8x = 1 and x = 1/8 or 0.125 exactly.

    At first glance it seems difficult but a closer look and analysis, it can be easily solved using trigonometry. Below is a simple formula to solve it:
    3X cos 60 degrees + 3X +2X + X + X cos 60 degrees = 1. One equation, one unknown, therefore, solvable. 😊😊

      @@DhirajSingh-mn6zu Yeah, there's a little mistake in the equation I made after carefully looking at the diagram. I tried to solve it by myself without watching the solution in the video. Now I realize that there should be more steps in getting the 2 unknown horizontal segments near the squares 3x and x. First, get the hypotenuse of the small triangles beside 3x (say "y"), by using sin 60 degrees= 3x/hypotenuse1. Then get the horizontal segment "y" beside 3x by using the equation y=hypotenuse 1 cosine 60 degrees. Do the same procedure, for the horizontal segment (say"z") beside x , by using sin 60 degrees= x/hypotenuse 2. Small horizontal segment z = hypotenuse 2 cosine 60 degrees. After getting the 2 unknown horizontal segments beside the squares 3x and x, (which are y and z),we now have the equation y+ 3x+ 2x+ x + z= 1. One equation, one unknown (since we already know the values of y and z) , therefore solvable. Thanks.
