i cant solve this math problem

[prates]

wats the area of x if 2=the total area of 12 when the perimeter is 934 and b=5
c=12
wats the area

[corkysucks22]

what subject is this and is that the whole question

by subject i mean like geometry algebra 5th grade math

[Freddy]

to find area u need some kind of ploygon. if we knew what the polygon was, finding the area would be easier.
so until we get a ploygon, Im stumped.

[ehntoo]

umm... please write that in either all english as it would be read... or the algebraic notation straight out of the homework...

[corkysucks22]

wats the area of x if 2=the total area of 12 when the perimeter is 934 and b=5
c=12
wats the area

now that im not double posting

unless this is like college math (and i think its like algebra) that question is pretty much impossible the way you worded it

[The First]

2 is the total area of 12? and a perimeter of 934 and an area of 2? somehow, this sounds like someone playing a joke...

[corkysucks22]

yea that sounds like when this guy aked my dad if he wanted like catfish or salmon

and my dad said "yea"

and the rest of my family was like what in tarnation?

[huntershadow]

it is simple 10.1945(u divide 934 by 12 and divide by 6 or whatever)

[The First]

You lost me there... explain that one... why divide 934 by 12... and where'd you get 6 from?

[Vagrant]

To be honest - the wording just screwed everything.

I'm no genius... but an area of 2 cannot be equal to a perimeter of 934, unless there is some insane amount of sides on this polygon.

[The First]

Even then, you can only get as far as a circle. I still think prates is trying to make us feel stupid.

[Diamond187]

actually an area of 2 could have a perimeter of 934 even for a rectangle, the sides would just need to be really small one way and really large the other. Roughly, 467 by 0.004.

[The First]

... *blinks*... oh wow. Go us. We missed the obvious >_<

[The First]

Um, is there like a picture to go along with this problem? Because I have no clue what "wats the area of x if 2=the total area of 12" means.

And what do b and c correspond to?

[The Brown Cow]

How is 2 the total area of 12?

[jag42386]

i say we start guessing random numbers

e^(pi*i)+1

[h00pla]

well e^(3.14*-1)+1= e^-3.14 +1

do you know what it equals?

[jag42386]

would it be funny if I didn't know what that equaled?

Well, I guess that would be funny, but my point is that I know it equals 0

oh, and pi times i equals 3.14i, not -3.14

[h00pla]

doesn't i = -1? Thats how my AlgII teacher showed it

[jag42386]

i equals the square root of -1, if i equaled -1 then imaginary numbers wouldn't have cause to exist (imaginary as in 35i not as in the number i am thinking of right now)

[h00pla]

ok then. I was thinking of it as the square root of i. or the square root of -1

[Diamond187]

ah, complex numbers, sweet. And for all of those who missed the e^(pi*i)+1=0

e^(xi)=cos(x)+i*sin(x)
so
e^(pi*i)=cos(pi)+i*sin(x)
cos(pi)=-1 sin(pi)=0
so
e^(pi*i)=-1

Mathematicians worship that equation, it's called Euler's (pronounced Oiler's) relation. Next class, I'll teach you that 2^(1/3) actually has 3 solutions. Shocking, isn't it?

[Rob97]

Uhg... please be more detailed next time.

[Starz99cup16]

Robtwister, why on earth did you bring back this topic that is almost 2 months old?

[stjames]

tell it man

[SoLoBoYx]

i cant do that either but then again im olny in 8th grade adv. math .

[MercuryLime]

um, I think whatever his name that started this thread is gone now. He could have tried to be a little more convinving though.

[Alibnoblacksheep]

Well the answer IS very obvious.
If you square the triangular hipotinuse by the functional digit of precepitation your numeral factorial should equal the result input of your mathematical function.

[Diamond187]

That was some of the worst techno-babble I've ever heard. Then again, I kinda live in a world of techno-babble, hard to say which is worse...

[The First]

That was so odd... Precipitation? Rain digits?... it did sound sort of funny though. In a way. If you try really hard to laugh maybe.

[Posh Jibbons]

This thread gave me a headache...

I h8 j00 all.

*bawls out of the room with his arms flailing*

i was the best of my school at the math contest so i would love to help but that was in dutch and this is in english and it's not easy to translate maths
