Title: Logic test time.
Post by: TAB on March 13, 2009, 04:06:23 AM
You have a triangle named ABC.

What are the only 2 things you can tell me about said triangle?

1.

2.













PS google= cheating.

Maybe it's just too late for me, but:

1. It has 3 sides (is a triangle)

2. Its name is ABC

Let me know…

Maybe it's too early for me, but I get the same two answers; 3 sides and the name ABC

1.   It's Mine
2.   There may be others like it.

1. three angles

2. angles add up to 180 degrees

1) 3 angles
2) add up to 360 degrees

alfsauve,

"1.   It's Mine
2.   There may be others like it."

THAT WAS HELLARIOUS! ;D ;D ;D    ;"but this one is mine.  Without me, my triangle is useless, without my triangle I am useless."  

"I will hug it, and squeeze it and call it ABC"

1.  It's a polygon
2.  Sum of the angles = 180 deg.

It's gotta have a total of 180 degrees.

Haz no it doesn't.  A triangle is still a triangle if it is projected onto a spherical surface, it has three sides, the sides are straight lines but the angles do not add to 180 degrees (they only add to 180 on a planar [flat] surface). That is the reason for Euclidian mathematics: hyperbolic sine (sinh) hyperbolic cosine (cosh), etc...

Shut up! Shouldn't you be out shooting a certain something and leave poor defenseless Haz alone. ;)

I had a math teacher that insisted a bullet could never reach its target because it had to travel half way to the target ad infinitum from its current point.

Please use him as a target.

AHHHH!!  Something like great circles and the stright line not always being the shorest route.

Thanks!

Patience Grasshopper, the truth will come. At least I hope so, because my head kind of hurts trying to project geometry problems onto  "3d planar surfaces". A cool idea, but yikes! Say, I hear only a candy ass carries a .45 my 9 mm Glock is cooler! ;D

Maybe so....but it works........very effectively, when it come to rock throwin'.    ;)


P.S.
I have some 'plastic-wrapped rocks' too.....and they're OK.

Math is BS, the system is flawed 3/3 does not equal 1

2 times 2 equals 5 . . . . for extremely large values of 2

and real men use wooden clubs with obsidian blades!

Watched that new show on History Channel the other night, the guy was learning to use Mayan weapons, and got slioppy, let the club swing wide on the back swing, nicked himself in the back of the calf. Cut through his cargo pants and opened a huge gash in his leg. Took stitches to close - and that was just from a relaxed swing.

So from now on, it's wooden clubs with obsidian blades for me!   ;D

Yet another reason to avoid North Dakota, distance from those damn Mayan weapons. I thought the frozen tundra thing was persuasive, but this clinches it.Thanks pegleg ;D

There's nothing to hide behind either, for those Mayans who are chucking obsidian bladed spears,  Just WIDE expanses of flat plain.
