AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a series of multiple-choice questions where the original poster seeks clarification on specific answers they provided. They express confusion about the reasoning behind their answers, particularly for questions related to geometric relationships and line placements. Other participants suggest that the original poster should focus on fewer questions at a time to avoid overwhelming responses and improve clarity. They recommend presenting questions with accompanying images inline and following forum rules to facilitate better assistance. Overall, the emphasis is on the need for clearer communication to receive effective help.

on question 20, I think the answer is (A) because wouldn't AD then be perp to BD?

In picture 2 question 4 I got (E) because the line should start at -2.5 ,not -3

In picture 2 question 5, I got (B). Seems like maybe a trick question.

In picture 3 question 6, I got (C). Is that right?

In picture 3 question 11, I got (C) because there's no need for OP and XP to be the same length. I reckon (A) is a slight misprint and should be OAP

In picture 3 question 12, I got (B)

In picture 4 question 14, I got (E). I'm not sure though

Would really appreciate clarification on these particular questions. Thanks

please help. I think my questions are clear enough. Just seems I never get help around here
 
For question 20, $\overline{AD}$ is perpendicular to $k$ if $\triangle DBC$ is in the plane. I don't think any of the given conditions make it necessary that $\triangle DBC$ is in the plane.

It's not clear (at least to me) exactly how you are referring to the questions. Try starting with the first image and go over the questions you are concerned with there, showing your work/ideas (as you have already done for some of the questions). I'm willing to help as best as I can if you are willing to make an effort to clarify things. I'm sure others will help too.

You have posted a huge number of questions while our rules state to post no more than 2 question in your initial post. Follow-up questions are then allowed if they pertain to the original two.

When you post a bunch of questions, then the thread can become convoluted and people are simply less likely to be willing to help when confronted with a wall of questions. This is why we have a rule regarding this...it not only helps you get help in a timely manner but makes giving help easier for our helpers.

I suggest cropping the images to contain only those question with which you need help and then post each in a separate thread. And post the images inline rather than as attachments at the bottom of the post so that they are part of the body of the post. A good presentation is much more likely to garner help.
 
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...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
