AI Thread Summary
In triangle ABC, with AB equal to AC and an inner point D such that AB, AC, and BD are equal, the problem seeks to find angle ADC given that angle DCB is 30 degrees. The discussion revolves around solving for angle ADC using the properties of isosceles triangles and the given angle. Participants express varying levels of difficulty with the problem, indicating it may serve as a challenge for some members. The solution requires applying geometric principles to derive the desired angle. Ultimately, the focus is on finding angle ADC based on the established conditions.

$\triangle ABC, \overline{AB}=\overline {AC}$,there exists an inner point ${D}$ and satisfyng :
(1)$\overline {AB}=\overline {AC}=\overline {BD}$
(2)$\angle DCB=30^o$
find $\angle ADC=?$

Are these problems you need help with? Or are they just for members to try?

my solution
explanation :
GD//BC
let DE=GH=1,
EF=FH=x,
AK=y
$\angle DEC=\angle GHB=90^o$
Triangle AGD is an equilateral triangle

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
