    Angle Value
AI Thread Summary
In triangle ABC, angles BAC and ACB are both 50 degrees, making angle ABC 80 degrees. Given point M inside the triangle, with angles MAC at 10 degrees and MCA at 30 degrees, the remaining angle AMC can be calculated as 180 - (10 + 30) = 140 degrees. Using the triangle angle sum property in triangle BMC, angle BMC can be determined as 180 - (80 + 140) = -40 degrees, which is not possible. Thus, the correct approach involves recalculating the angles or verifying the given conditions to find a valid angle for BMC.

$\triangle ABC ,if \,\, \angle BAC=\angle ACB=50^o$

point $M$ is an inner point of $\triangle ABC ,$

given :$\angle MAC=10^o$ and $\angle MCA=30^o$

find the value of $\angle BMC=?$

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...
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...
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...
