Jezz Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 You seen that vorderman commercial? There are rabbitts in a hutch, each rabbitt sits in a corner and can see three rabbitts. How many rabbitts are there? Now let me think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Ah how lovely and pure. A perfect right angled 3,4,5 triangle. The 3-4-5 triangle is very useful in calculations of distance. If the data can be adapted to fit a 3-4-5 configuration, no tables or calculation of square root (Pythagorean Theorem) are needed. EXAMPLE: An observer at the top of a 40-foot vertical tower knows that the base of the tower is 30 feet from a target on the ground. How does he calculate his slant range (direct line of sight) from the target? SOLUTION: The desired length, AB, is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose shorter sides are 30 feet and 40 feet long. Since these sides are in the ratio 3 to 4 and angle C is 90°) the triangle is a 3-4-5 triangle. Therefore, side AB represents the 5-unit side of the triangle. The ratio 30 to 40 to 50 is equivalent to 3-4-5, and thus side AB is 50 units long. If you ever need to draw a perfect 3,4,5 triangle do it like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Maths rocks! The most fun I had with maths was programming a 3D ray tracing rendering system which plotted light rays on a hexagonal wireframe model to give it a cylindrical appearance. The light varied in intensity depending on where you position the light source. It was part of my Computer Science degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 a + b = ab ......... wtf.... a x b = ab I expect a + b = c I think the least fun I had with Pure Maths at A Level was Parabolic equations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black cat Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 a x b = ab I expect a + b = c I think the least fun I had with Pure Maths at A Level was Parabolic equations no no no................ this is all wrong. thats more calculations than what is needed to launch the space shuttle.

Pete Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I thought I liked maths until my pure maths course in second year degree!!!! Bit harder than GCSEs and HNCs. I bet. Vicki did pure maths at degree level - she's an accountant now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
