How do you work out wave envelopes and asymmetries?

Click For Summary
To determine the envelope around the peaks of the four waves, one must analyze their characteristics and behavior. Estimating the envelope requires understanding the plots' production methods and applying that knowledge effectively. Additionally, finding the exponential time constant involves observing the transition from the initial state to steady state. Accurate guesses based on the wave properties can facilitate this process. The discussion emphasizes the importance of leveraging existing knowledge for effective analysis.

Hi Say I took one or all of the four waves here:

How would I go about working out the envelope around their peaks, or finding the exponential time constant from start to steady state?

Cheers!

You'd need to guess.
Probably you should use your knowledge of how the plots were produced to help you to guess.
 

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
