>if he's buff, he must be stupid

Square root of 69 is 8some, because I've been trying to work it out all night

just do 0.5bh senpai. 10 is the base and 6 is the height

Tell that to dolph lundgren

>he studied and worked instead of going parties, he must be a virgin

>not being a genius and loving lifting

It's like a special 3 4 5 triangle but the sides are 6 8 10 (double the length of 3 4 5)You retards can figure out the rest

school is designed to make you autistic by giving you questions nobody cares about and if you get an A you're basically living in some cartoon faux world after graduation

What should be covered instead
>How to lie
>How to fuck
>Firearm safety

because it's the only things you'll actually do

24

You're not even looking at the picture dumbass. 10 is the length of the outside big triangle. 6 is the length of the side of the inner triangle.

24

can I get a confirmation that the answer is 24? I solved for the base using sin(x) = 6/10, then solved for the height.

>if you don't have arbitrary geometric formulas from 10th grade you're dumb

This triangle literally can't exist

I actually had that question in a programming class.

Sometimes I am ashamed that I spend so much time here.

>he doesn't know the Pythagorean theorem

You are doing it wrong senpai

according to your logic, if the height was 6, then the base would not be 10. The base would be the bottom portion of the triangle, and the hypotenuse would be 10-x (x = the portion cut off by the altitude).

OH FOCK, someone cant be this dumb

holy fuck you guys are retarded

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

wow stellar job at providing a counter argument

it's an impossible triangle

...

30 retards

(10x6)/2

Just think about it for a sec, a triangle is half a rectangle. Altitude = one side, hypotenuse is the other

base*height/2 is hard lmao

10 is the hypotenuse of the big triangle, not the bottom of the smaller triangle.

it would be (6 * (10-x))*1/2

...

lmao the whole side is 10 bud

Do me a favor and flip the triangle over.

yea the base isn't the fucking hypotenuse. You have to be trolling me lmao

Veeky Forums this is why i love you holy fucking kek

you are special senpai

lol that wasn't the guy who posted the picture, which is me. I understand what you mean by,"the bottom portion of the triangle," however, the "bottom" of a triangle is subjective. Using 10 x 6 would yield the same result as the "bottom portion" shown in the picture x the side in the picture.

>this stupid

>he can't rotate images in his mind

grade 9 math kek

ok now you only have on side retards

great b8, that's not applicable in this scenario

>the whole of Veeky Forums can't answer this basic geometry problem
>mfw

lmao he can't admit he's wrong either

To clarify, imagine the halves as separate. Each is half a rectangle.

One's area is equal to (6 * x)/2, the other (6*y)/2, and x+y = 10

Simplify: (6x + 6y )/2

3x + 3y

3(x+y)

3(10)

30

you just blew your cover m8, try to be more convincing in your trolling

>one side
I LITERALLY HAVE NO SIDES BECAUSE I AM LAUGHING SO HARD AT YOU

nice assumption that it's 90 degrees holy shit

just use the fucking pythagorean theorem

So the little triangle is a red herring right?

Hypotenuse is square root of 6^2 + 10^2

This is the correct answer

Are you all actually retarded or just pretending

>take over goat
>take over cabbage
>bring goat back
>swap out goat for wolf
>return to pick up goat

Ez. And I barely passed high school.

it has to be 90 degrees to use pythagorean theorem you memer

how, fucking give me an example of how you would use the pythag. theorem on this easy ass fucking problem you goddamn moron.

I M P O S S I B L E T R I A N G L E

10*6/2 implies the area must be 30. But then the two legs x,y must be x*y = 60. With the Pythagorean theorem, x^2+y^2 = 100. Solving the two equations simulataneously yields imaginary solutions.

Wow Veeky Forums is fucking dumb

you didn't even answer the question lmao

>"hurr durr it looks like it's 90degrees on each side so im gonna assume it must be that"

>small right triangle has leg and hypotenuse of equal length

stop instigating

How can a right triangle have two sides of the same length? The question is impossible

All three triangles are similar. Do you even altitudes bro?

10 is the long leg of the big triangle

>not going to a top 20 uni and making 90k a year straight out the gate

>How can a right triangle have two sides of the same length? The question is impossible

do you want me to wipe your ass too?

Holy shit Veeky Forums is fucking stupid
....

Not surprised desu but kek

Youre all fucking idiots lmao

What don't you understand

You would like that.

Don't you just times 6 by 10?

Goal life.

HAHAHHAHHAA ALSO, ALSO.
WHAT IS 100-36
ARE YOU THAT FUCKIG DUMB
WHAT ARE YOU 11?

yeah and now you have B so solve for Z

HAHAHAH YOU'RE SO FUCKING DUMB IT'S HILARIOUS

>basic
This thing is a pain in the ass. I want to work through this but I fucking hate doing algebra. Its pissing me off enough that I may though.

b^2=10^2 + 6^2 even though that is the wrong way of doing it you still managed to fuck it up.

including or excluding 36?

Its literally just plugging in 6(10)/2. Its 30. Holy shit

>no unit measurements
Pass

you need to specify if you want to exclude or include the 36 dude

36, 37, 38, 39

vs

37, 38, 39, etc..

>what are similar triangles
>what is Apollonius' circle theorem
If normies can't solve this then America is truly fucked.

>this thread

I tried solving for theta but it didn't work. What the fuck am I doing wrong?

You stupid fuck you phrased it wrong

Right triangles can't have a leg and hypotenuse of equal lengths but the two legs can be of equal length

How about an actual problem?

...

You do the circley thing...There is no such triangle.

It isn't fucking possible you dense mother fucker

This triangle can not exist

altitude is a height
10 is a base

dumbfucks

The Pythagorean Theorem only holds for right triangles. The 6/10/b Triangle you've presented is not a right triangle. You jackass.

Shh let them argue

"A right triangle has a hypotenuse equal to 10 and an altitude to its hypotenuse equal to 6"

An altitude "is a ling segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base"

Therefore the value of 10 is the entire length of the large triangle, because the problem defined the altitude as intersecting the 10 value hypotenuse.

area = 1/2BH
= 1/2 (10)(6)
= 30 units squared

You all are fucking autistic, ignore the picture that's what you're all doing wrong. The picture shows the hypotenuse (which=10) to be the right of the 90 degree angle, NOT across from it. So we know that the picture is fucked up to begin with, so we will ignore it.

>Hypotenuse = 10
>Another side = 6
> a^2+b^2=c^2
>36 + b^2 = 100
>b^2=64
>b=8

So we know that the other missing leg is 8 units long.

>A=.5BH
>A=(.5)(8)(6)
>A=24

Anybody else is wrong, this is the end of the thread.

30
A = (b * h) / 2, you mongs. Turn the triangle so the hypotenuse is the base.

stop

The base is 10 you fucking moron

...

the whole side of the triangle is 10 you retard. The side you mention is 10-x

this gave me cancer

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHAGGFSCSJDI

how do you know it's 6 and 4 units of the hypothenuse?

>two base angles are equal but the triangles aren't isosceles
Is Veeky Forums truly the dumbest board? This is actually heartbreaking

how do you know that the line splits two 45 degree angles?

help me pls

Because it's a 345 triangle

It's 30 you stupid fucks are you retarded jedesu Christ man
