I'm 50 years old, have no idea what just happened but thank you for doing it! Maths is finally fun
I had forgotten most of this. Thank you for the refresher course!
very nice explanation, I used to do these MANY years ago, good to refresh my "little gray cells"
You are absolutely lovely teacher!❤
I wish I was your student during that time. Your smiling and touching voice should make me to love your teaching.
By using enlargements. The smaller triangle is a factor 3.5/5.5 smaller, for areas ouu have to square this number. = 0.4048 And since we're talking about one quarter of the rectangle, this percentage is divided by 4. that's 0.1012
I like the way the question was worded. Very thorough and precisely. Nothing extra, not any ambiguity or facts left to guess or assume.
Saludos desde España. As an engineer, I am glad to go back some decades and take these problems again. Thanks. It is like solving a puzzle that you bring from my youth. Excellent.
I had a math teacher in high school who LOVED mashing 14 chapters into ONE problem. The final exam only had 5 questions, but it was the entire book. I only thought it, but another kid actually said it: With no wife, he has all this time to come up with crazy problems!
A very valuable piece of mathematical knowledge with a very clear explanation. Highly appreciated.
Such a good teacher ... Bravo!
I used to love Nancy Pi the best but Susanne is quickly catching up!
I wish you had been my maths teacher as I might have understood it a lot better when I was at school!!
Hi Susanne, love these tutorials. I wish I had you in my back pocket when I was doing my mech eng courses. That's a long time ago now but I still enjoy the way you go through your examples. Bring back memories and you never know I might need them again one day.
TRICKY QUESTION AND NICE METHOD FOR RESOLUTION
Everything is so easy and simples with you teaching. Thanks
Great math exercises, thank you Math Queen. I am old school, very old. As an engineer before computers we had slide rules, yes I am that old, as well as solved using graphic analysis. Solving this graphically is possible but a more interesting way is to use a planimeter which is an instrument which runs around the perimeter of the area; the rectangle and them the MFE area giving you the area of each. Finally you can use an analytical scale for precise weights of each segment and simply weight the various segments by converting area to weight ratio. Regardless lost of fun. Thanks again for the post.
Very fun problem and, at 76 years old, I'm glad I still have the competency to arrive at a correct solution on my own.
Another great lesson, thank you Susanne!
