AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the distance from point (b,0) to the final destination (10,0) after a person has walked from (0,0) to (10,0). The individual stopped between points (a,0) and (b,0), with a distance of 2m separating these two points. To find the distance from (10,0) to (b,0), the formula used is 10 - b. This calculation is essential for understanding the remaining distance to the final destination. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise distance measurements in this context.

A person walked a distance of 10m from (0,0) to (10,0) - final distnation; prior to reaching final distancetion he stopped betwen 2 points (a,0) and (b,0). The distance between (a,0) and (b,0) is 2m. I need to know the distance between (10,0) and (b,0) Please check graph attached

Distance between (10,0) and (b,0) is 10-b
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
