Could You Pass This Test?

[OSU_Buckguy]

no offense, buh nim, but i do find it interesting that you're questioning the design of the test when you haven't supplied the answers to questions (ii) and (iii) of the first set. as you stated, this is beyond your scope of experience and ability. between you and the royal society of chemistry, i think i'll go with the royal society of chemistry. again, no offense. :p

Is it pie?

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

FWIW, my background is in meth.

fixed.

:p

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

Offense not taken, but I am not sure where you came up with the royal society of chemistry?

I didn't see where they provided an answer either.

if you read the article, you'll understand why.

FWIW, my background is in math.

however, not this type of math, right? :p

Right, I did better in group theory, number theory, and non linear algebra than applied geometry.

didn't click through the link.

Now I'm curious as to whether I'm right on this...

There's always room for pie ... mmm pie! :tongue2:

True, but by definition, lines also extend infinitely - they are defined by two points, but they do not end at those points.

I owe you a reply - but the afternoon was hectic, yet fruitful.

You are correct, to answer the question on perpendicularity of BD _|_ A1C one must extrapolate the specified lines. That much is plane (sic) - what the answer might be is another matter entirely.

Of course, there is the position some take that there is no such thing as a straight line - merely curves, relative to one another either or both of which can appear linear.

For those interested in the underlying theory to solve the Chinese problem -

Angles between lines & Planes.

(It's a Bird, No, It's a Plane, No It's ...)

The formal (or at least formally acceptable) solutions to this problem are summarized in the linked PDF file.

When I graduated I promised myself that I would have to figure out any more problems.

No idea about 1

2) a) 5m
b) 6m
c) 16/25

 

[BUCKYLE]

No, I could not pass this test. And I couldn't care less.

 

[CCI]

Hell No I don't even want to look at it again.
where if I knew that could I use that in the real world? just askin

 

[BUCKYLE]

Hell No I don't even want to look at it again.
