Vapor trails 2010-04-12
Frank pose la question :
I'm not sure if this is a proper question to ask so if I have misdirected my question I apologize and no response is expected. I am trying to figure out a way to measure vapor trails from my back yard in Phoenix Arizona. If I used a compass and spread each point of the compass to the start and finish of the vapor trail I would have the angle of an isosceles triangle. The other two angles would be identical. The height of from the inverted base of the triangle to my standing spot on the ground would be about 35,000 feet. I'm thinking that there should be a way to figure out the length of the inverted base (vapor trail) but I'm devoid of mathematical skills and can't seem to figure out how to do this. Is it possible to figure out the length of a vapor trail using this method or do you have an easier way to accomplish the task?

Any help you could offer would be most appreciated.

Thanks....Frank

Body measurements 2010-04-06
Amirul pose la question :
Recently I'm proposing my research question to my teacher for my extended essay. I'm an IB student. My research question is regarding the estimation of human in buying trousers through reference of neck. What does the relation between the diameter of the neck and the diameter of the waist? I want to see how far does the estimation theory is true for different type of people with different BMI(body mass index)..

But teacher said that it is golden ratio...so nothing interesting... =( really??? But i search on net.... state that my idea seems do not have any relation with the golden ratio so far..... i just want ask you... am I able to perform in my extended essay if i continue with this research question??

A quadrilateral with 4 known sides and 1 known angle 2010-03-19
samuel pose la question :
Name: Samuel
Status: Student

I have a quadrilateral with 4 known sides and 1 known angle, and I'm trying to evaluate the other angles of my quadrilateral.

By the law of cosines, I can easily find my opposite angle (using the diagonal as a basis for the equation).

However, to find the two remaining angles, I have found no other way so far than to use the other diagonal, which can be found with the equation attached (from geometry atlas).

Is there any simpler way?

The maximum number of right angles in a polygon 2009-10-05
Bruce pose la question :
Is there way other than by trial and error drawing to determine the maximum number of right angles in a polygon? Secondary question would be maximum number of right angles in a CONVEX polygon. Is there a mathematical way to look at this for both convex and concave polygons? Or are we limited to trial and error drawing?

Rounding 2007-11-05
Charles pose la question :
I have been asked to explain why rounding to 3 decimal places has become the adopted industry standard in mathematics for showing measurement calculations. I understand that it makes sense to round financial calculations to 2 d.p. because then it's rounded to the nearest penny (or cent) but why would the standard in measurement be 3?

The irrationality of PI 2007-08-07
Matthew pose la question :
I have what I like to think of as a rather interesting question that I can't explain confidently for the life of me. If we take a circle with a radius of 1 and we calculate the circumference, we can use 2 pi R. Doing this calculation results in a circumference of 6.28318530717~ which goes on forever. However, if you were to take a that same circle in the real world, say with radius 1cm and wrap a string around it, and then measure the string, you don't get 6.28~, you get something like 6.2, a much more finite distance. The length of the string is not an irrational number, like the math claims it to be.

Is 360 Really the correct value? 2005-08-15
Jack pose la question :
Considering the circumference of a "Perfect Circle" with a Diameter of 1 meter would be something like 3.14 meters, why do we use the number 360 to represent the number of degrees within that circumference?

Would it not make more sense to express the degrees in reference to the relationship to the diameter as related to pi?

That is, let's just say our "Perfect Circle" has a circumference of 3.14 meters, therefore, what we now consider as due east would change from 90 Degrees to 78.5 Degrees.

The tangent of theta 2004-07-10
Jacob pose la question :
P is a point on a unit circle with coordinates(0.6,0.8). Find tan of theta. My book shows me how to do it,"tan of theta=opp./adj.=0.8/0.6=4/3,"and leaves it as that's the answer(4/3).When do we know from a problem to find the angle measure (in this case, the angle measure of theta) and how do we know when to give something like 4/3 without converting it to the angle measure?

History of a meter 2000-04-07
Jarod Fischer pose la question :
The length of a meter has been determined in three different ways. The first and original way was determined in 1798. The second way was determined in 1960. The third and current way was determined in 1983. What were the three ways and why were the first two abandoned?

Body part measurements 1999-11-10
V Bailey pose la question :
I am a kindergarten teacher and mother of a 6th grader who wants to do a science project on the correlations of body part measurements. We heard this on the radio and it sparked our interest, but now I cannot find any information about it. Examples are: your height is supposed to equal the distance from fingertip to fingertip when your arms are outstretched. Your foot size is supposed to equal the distance from your wrist to your elbow.

Please help me find more information on this topic.

Please also give the solution to the answers. Thank you.
  1. If a room is 12 feet by 15, how many square yards are there?

  2. If a single roll of wallpaper will cover 30 square feet, how many single rolls will it take to cover a wall 8' x 15'?

  3. If ceramic tiles are 8" x 8", how many tiles would it take to cover an area 4' x 6'?
If possible, can you e-mail me a table for imperial measurements. Thank you!
