Looks like he did. Good job.
Hmmm. Youâre a day late, 0.000000000000004 cm off, with sloppy handwriting, and relied on software. Iâm not sure about the âstompingâ.
Iâm giving you a C+.
So far, the simplest, more direct, and quicker solution had been proposed by @urodacus, maybe you guys missed it.
Make F=D, then AMD=1/2ABCD.
Thatâs it. Done.
Yeah, but thatâs the wrong answer. F isnât D, and AMD isnât 1/2ABCD (which gives 32, rather than 30). I read their response as some kind of approximation if F was moved to the left.
That answer breaks the question, as in my second post above.
then d wouldnât be the perpendicular bisector of AM.
Ah. I missed the point of it being the bisector⌠read the fân question properly, always a good first step. I just read that as being perpendicular.
Thatâs just the way the program handles the rounding.
I only used the software for arithmetic as Iâm on vacation and donât have any pen or paper.
Wonderful! Your approach is a new one, different from others in the responses for this twitter post.
30cm^2 is a correct answer.
Wow! wonderful approach. I like it! It shares similar spirit of the math youtuber 3blu21brown.
This approach works for general condition in which area of the square is not given.
Finding the length(EG) is original!
You must also the one that likes 3blue1brownâs youtube videos.
Quite a few approaches taken by posters in Forumosa are actually original. I mean that they are not seen in the replies to this math question in the original twitter.
However, there are two approaches in the original replies that have not been thought of here. Here are the hints:
new approach 1.) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector, and the coordinates of F.
linear algebra approach) Use the determinant to compute the area of the triangle.
you do this on vacation? I have a whole new level of respect for you.
