The Triangle of DOOM!

Posted by flashman16 - February 7th, 2008


Who can solve this one?

Find out the remaining sides and angles in this triangle, you could solve my last maths riddle with a scientific calculator, now you will need one, need to know how to use it!

The Triangle of DOOM!


Comments

if i get the answer dont put me on the scoreboard i`ll be getting help from my family

you will still be on the scoreboard, this one IS extremely hard ^^
(I didn'y find this in some book, really did make it up, if you DO find it in a book then it is PURE coincidence, thats why I'm happy, cos i'm so brainy, I know squat about what I'm meant to know but I'm still brainy about stuff teachers dont give a tiny rats ass about)

Lol, at first I thought I did such thing in middle school... but when I started doing it... Damn, can't get through xD

have I thought of a maths puzzle that confuses meneldil?
YEE HAH!!

Ahh, I did a terribly stupid mistake. And so this task indeed is terribly easy. Just needed to use calculator a lot.

If I didn't mistake anything, the missing side is 94,8989; the ABC angle is 52 degrees, and therefore it's obvious that ACB angle is 103 degrees.
(approximate values)

You have been decieving me, I thought that you were a great maths person, but those are definitly the wrong answers, maybe you used the wrong method, this one aint working.
keep trying, I want to have an equal on NG. (get it? equal? equals sign? *sigh*)

Did a stupid mistake again.

Side - 88,843 cm
ABC angle - 23 degrees
ACB angle - 132 degrees
I hope it's right now. More or less.

I need sleep now, can't focus xD

Wrong again, bloody hell maybe you DO need to sleep on it...

you can't do it
pythagoras theorem don't work as it has to be a right angled triangle this is a scalene triangle

WW1-WW2 Scottish soldier AKA the ladies from hell

You can do it, just cause you cannae do it with Pythagoras doesn't mean that there aren't any other ways of solving triangles

Lol, I slept a bit.

But now I'm tired cause I came back from school xD

Is this right?
a = 78,966
ABC angle = 36,5 degrees
ACB angle = 118,5 degrees

completely wrong agian, though your ABC one is very close,
could you have your answers to 2dp please?, then I will know how wrong or right you are.

You know what?, since your trying so hard to solve it i'll tell you what formulas to use, first cosine rule then the sine rule.

Unlucky about school btw, I'm off for over a week thanks to study leave for exams AND I FINISHED MY LAST EXAM YESTERDAY, HELL YEAH!!! ^^

cosin rule sux, i never use it. but i did use sin rule on my third attempt.

Ah, screw it :P
If my ABC is right, then everything is right.

What's dp?

You need the cos rule for this one i'm afraid, then you use sin rule
youre ABC was ALMOST right, but since it wasn't then everything else is wrong

dp stands for decimal points (2dp is like 0.02 instead of 0.01546732)

damn you really are good at riddles man i feel sorry for the guys who lose their brains doin riddles (not just your)^^,

I fell sorry for them too, but hey lifes short, why not waste it doing calculations and shit like that? some people say it's fun! (not me, I do this to see if anyone is as clever as me out there) :), solved it yet?

Dude, you don't need cos rule. You don't even need sin rule. And I swear, there are 3+ ways to solve it.

This is outstanding. I got another set of completely different values. WTF? Do I really do so many mistakes?

a = 59,76 cm
ABC angle = 35 degrees
ACB angle = 120 degrees

not this time, YOU (finally) SOLVED IT!!
HA!, My triangle of doom really got you didn't it?
I'm going to take a little break from thinking up these riddles to really spend time working on my Sonic Flash, I'll leave you all with a few riddles to keep you thinking!

isn't sin tan cos have to do with pythagoras theorem?

Yes, but sine and cosine have their own maths rules as well
