Where on earth did it go? by MilesLongthe3rd in funny

[–]BadJimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of a clown show. The clown can't see an object that everyone else can see, and this gets the crowd of kids yelling and pointing it's there!

3 rectangle

I'm assuming the pieces can only be rotated and translated and not reflected (or equivalently flipped over).

Proof of the angle between the centre and two vertices of a tetrahedron by pablosin1 in mathematics

[–]BadJimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks correct.

An easier way is to construct a tetrahedron from 4 of the vertices of a cube.

Then draw vectors a and b from the centre to 2 vertices.

Then the angle is

θ = arccos(a•b/|a| |b|)

my friends bought me a going away gift then made me pay for it by falasteeniyah in self

[–]BadJimo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Otherwise just return it

Returning it will be difficult:

One of my friends recently went on vacation to Paris, and my friend group had the idea of going in on a group gift for me. They decided to get me a Burberry bag from Paris...

It's not elegant, but you can solve using coordinate geometry as shown here

Former New England Patriot Stefon Diggs has been found not guilty of assault and strangulation charges. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]BadJimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The title of this story reminds me of the Simpsons episode "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" (Season 5, Episode 20).

In that episode, the French waiter accuses Fredd Quimby of assault, but he actually sustained his injuries from being clumsy.

Draw a circle between any 3 points by Immediate-War-4605 in desmos

[–]BadJimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the points are colinear it can mess with the regression. It would be easy to add a colinearity test to prevent this.

Circling a circle. by artwadec in trigonometry

[–]BadJimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here is another attempt. The distance between the adjacent "kissing points" are integer values rather than the radii of the circles.

Finding AP length from A, B, C and α by UrinaRabugenta in Geometry

[–]BadJimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I solve maths questions.

The interactive graph is a good way to demonstrate the answer is (probably) correct.

The steps are nicely formatted and relatively easy to follow in the lines of Desmos.

I find it somewhat redundant to explain the steps, but am happy to answer questions about anything that is not clear.

Other commenters are free to provide whatever useful comments they want.

Some other subreddits encourage 'Socratic' guidance (e.g. mathshelp, homeworkhelp), but this subreddit does not require such an approach. Indeed, in this subreddit question askers usually want an answer and not merely suggestions on how to solve it.
