    Solving this problem that involves the area of triangle

    I am still looking at this question. One thing that i know is that the distance ##AB=\dfrac {(λ+1)\sqrt {2λ^2-2λ+1}}{λ^2}## distance ##OA=\sqrt 2## distance ##OB=\dfrac{\sqrt{λ^2+1}}{λ^2}## Perpendicular distance from point ##B## to the line ##OA=\dfrac{\sqrt{2(λ^4+2λ^3+2)}}{2λ^2}## Therefore...

    I Calculating the surface area of a sphere using dA

    Below is an image to calculate the surface area of a sphere using dA. I can see how ##rcos\theta d\phi## works, but I don't understand how that side can't just be ##rd\phi## with a slanted circle representing the arc length. The second part I don't understand is why it is integrated from...

    Finding the area of a double integral using dxdy instead of dydx

    I have the solution for this problem using dydx as the area. Worse yet, I cannot find another solution for it. Everyone seems to just magically pick dydx without thinking and naturally this is frustrating as learning the correct choice is 99.9% of the battle... So, I was curious how one might...

    Designing Retaining Wall Around Enclosed Area

    Normally when designing a retaining wall, you check for failure due to sliding, overturning, and insufficient bearing capacity. However, if I have a retaining wall which is around an enclosed pit, it doesn't seem reasonable to perform the same checks for sliding and overturning (the retaining...
