The angle at the vertex of an isosceles triangle 2015-11-25
Karan pose la question :
I have been given an isosceles triangle. the Top angle is what i have to find out and the two sides adjacent to it are both 4.9 cm. i have been told that the area of the triangle is 4 cm^2. i have no idea how to work this out, any ideas?

The maximum distance from the vertex of a triangle 2012-05-02
David pose la question :
There are three towns A,B,and C, equi-distant apart. A car is 3 miles from town A, and 4 miles from town B. (ie, somehwere outside of the triangle which the three towns form) What is the maximum distance that the car can be from town A?
This was asked as quiz question in my local pub last Sunday.
The answer is 7. How do I prove it?
Best regards. David in Denton.

The third vertex of a triangle 2010-09-23
nikos pose la question :
Hi, I would really appreciate any help in this:
"Suppose you have a triangle (any triangle, no hypotheses allowed), let's call it ABC. You know the coordinates of the two vertexes, A(x1,y1), B(x2,y2) and the area of the triagnle, let's call it D. Can you find the third vertex of this triangle based on these facts?"

Thanks a lot!

The "vertex" of a cone 2010-04-27
Tom pose la question :
By definition a vertex is a point where three edges meet in a 3 dimensional object. My ten year old son argues that the point at the top of a cone is not a vertex since it does not fit the definition. He got the answer wrong on a test recently but insists that he is right. I need a mathematician to answer this for him.

Vertices, edges and faces 2009-02-19
Deb pose la question :
I have been reading the responses you have to whether or not a cone and cylinder have edges, and whether a cone has a vertex. I have also found differing answers in different books and websites. Your idea that it depends why we want to call it a vertex or edge is interesting but does not help the students next year when they have a different teacher who tells them that whatever decision I make is wrong! It also doesn't help them when they do the provincial testing. Does anyone know if EQAO considers them vertices or edges? I want to know because textbooks and provincial tests often ask the students to count the number of faces, edges, and vertices or to describe a solid by using these, or to identify a solid that they have described. We need to have consistency in what we are teaching!

Sides and vertices 2007-11-17
derek pose la question :
What is the correct name for a 2D geometric shape that would look like one slice from a round pizza and how may sides and vertices would it have? I believe you would say it has one vertex and two sides with the curved boundary not resulting in vertices or a side. Your help is much appreciated.

A triangular pyramid 2007-07-22
shani pose la question :
my homework question is confusing (yr 7 beginner) "How many vertices does a triangular pyramid have." (Mum thinks all triangles are triangular& vertices are sides) I want to be sure.

Is the point on a cone called a vertex? 2007-05-09
Felicia pose la question :
Does a cone have a vertice? My teacher says that a vertice can only be made if two or more edges join up at an angle, so what do you call a point on a cone?
Walter Whiteley lui répond.
Octagonal Stop Sign 2006-10-23
Phil pose la question :
My colleagues and I are in a discussion about how many true "sides" an octagonal stop sign has. I say that it has 10 true sides because of the front back sides of a stop sign (3D octagon). Is this correct terminology or should the front and back "sides" be referred to as faces -- equaling 2?
Paul Betts, Steve La Rocque and Harley Weston lui répond.
Quadratic Equations & Given Roots 2005-11-11
Lindsey pose la question :

I need to find the quadratic equation in the form:
f(x)=a(x2 - (-b/a)x + (c/a))

The vertex is (1, -7), the roots are (4, ?)

I need to find the other root but I don't know where to begin. My answer key says the other root is (-2). How is this possible?

Please help me explain to my fourth graders as to why a cone has a vertex even though it does not have any straight edges.
Chris Fisher lui répond.
The vertex of a cone 2003-03-27
Holly pose la question :
I read your response to Callie about whether a cone has a vertex or not. Is it ONLY a vertex if both halves of the cone are together or can one half of the illustration have a vertex?
Walter Whiteley lui répond.

If you conect all the vertices of a regular n-gon... 2002-04-01
Murray pose la question :
If you conect all the vertices of a regular n-gon with lines you will have (n-3)(n/2) lines inside the polygon. I want to find out how many sections these lines divide the polygon into and how many intersections they have with each other.

Euler's Formula 2000-11-11
Denise Roberts pose la question :
I'm trying to design a unit (possibly involving a Webquest) on Polyhedra and I cannot find a formula I once used. The formula involved the number of vertices (V), edges (E), and faces (F) of the polyhedra.
Walter Whiteley lui répond.
