At last week's math department meeting (I teach Spec Ed at a ~600 student high school) I mentioned this fun new channel I discovered called Andy Math. This video is going in an email to the department. Thanks, these are a lot a fun.
I JUST REALIZED, I GOT THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON MY MATH TEST! I’m so gonna watch all your videos looking for more problems they put on my tests, sneaky teachers…
Pretty sure I’ve looked at Brilliant. I will definitely look again. Anything that demonstrates the deep beauty of mathematics is truly exciting to me. Thanks.
I have this math challenge I’ve tried for a while but still can’t get it. Is there a way you can try it? Also how would I be able to give the challenge? Edit: I don’t know if it’s possible.
I am a designer so sometimes I use 3d model to solve these questions. But I also do this with my own. And usually the number is without any decimals so I solve it 2 times reaching same answer 15.430 and then give up to look for your explanation and get the same answer (never doubting me again)
I did it using trigonometry. Let: x be the length of the lower side of the right. y be the length of the side of the square. z be de length of the lower side of the left. Using tan(), we can get this: x = y÷tan(60°) z = y÷tan(30°) Then, we can solve for y: x + y + z = 13 cm (y÷tan(60°)) + (y÷tan(30°)) + y = 13 cm y(1÷tan(60) + 1÷tan(30°) + 1) = 13 cm y = 13 cm÷(1÷tan(60°) + 1÷tan(30°) + 1) I plugged it into my calculator and gave me y = 4√3 - 3. y² = 57 - 24√3.
Because that is just a decimal approximation of the area. You should always try to arrive at an exact form of the solution first, rather than approximating as you go. 3.93² actually gives you 15.44 (rounded down), not the correct rounded down approximation of 15.43
Let's gooo he got sponsored again
How exciting
My favorite math dude getting his bag. How exiting.
Yippe
How exciting
Brilliant. I guess that means no more videos where 69 and 420 are the solutions. 🤣
More sponsorships to come!!
A tiny bit bummed this one didn't use pi, but still a fun watch! lol!
Happy Pi Day!

Asker: "How do you know how to answer all these problems."
Andy: "I paid attention in high school."
Finally same answear as Andy!
You have a Brilliant Sponsor. How exciting.
I started to get scared until I was assured at the end that it was indeed exciting.
Absolutely adore this channel, and send it to my kids all the time

Always watch your interesting problems. Thankful to your videos.

How eclectic!
How on Earth is this eclectic?
How. Brilliant.
So happy for you that you got sponsored!
How exciting
Do I know everything you cover? Yes.
Do I still watch all your videos, regardless? Also yes.
Get your bag brother
Hey, this was the question I sent
How exciting!
cool
Wow great
Andy stays winning
I got this question on my math exam!
They dont cancel, they reduce to 1!
I have this math challenge I’ve tried for a while but still can’t get it. Is there a way you can try it? Also how would I be able to give the challenge?
Edit: I don’t know if it’s possible.
Tops❤!

You're good
hey, how you that motions step by step? It would help me in my online classes
You make me feel so dumb. Thank you for humbling me.
Yo this one could be solved in hundreds of ways 😂 I solved it then I watched you do it absolutely different ways same results
At one stage root 3 x root 3 becomes root 9 (then, later, 3) at another stage root 3 x root 3 immediately becomes 3. How. Odd.
I have the same question! The first one at 2:13 confuses me. Why is it so?
We cry over math not boys 🙂
thanks doctor math
How easy
I did it using trigonometry.
Let:
x be the length of the lower side of the right.
y be the length of the side of the square.
z be de length of the lower side of the left.
Using tan(), we can get this:
x = y÷tan(60°)
z = y÷tan(30°)
Then, we can solve for y:
x + y + z = 13 cm
(y÷tan(60°)) + (y÷tan(30°)) + y = 13 cm
y(1÷tan(60) + 1÷tan(30°) + 1) = 13 cm
y = 13 cm÷(1÷tan(60°) + 1÷tan(30°) + 1)
I plugged it into my calculator and gave me y = 4√3 - 3. y² = 57 - 24√3.
could be easier if using Law of Sines
I got the Area as 169/(4+2*sqrt*(3)). Not sure where I went wrng
You sponsored your own video?
I tried solving this myself and ended up with sqrt(3)•x=sqrt(3)•x and that is correct I will accept no other answers
I am having to find 3d prism’s surface area in school, but I am very bad at it. Do you know the formula?

thank you i forgot you did a video on it :)@@AndyMath
Are you also doing triangular prisms? andymath.com/triangular-prisms-surface-area/@@skidmark696
@@AndyMath yeah, this is perfect thanks for the help.
hOw ExCiTiNg
Or sum to ZERO!
Too heavy. Plus the camera wasn't invented yet.
If you knew x=3.93, why didn't you just square 3.93 to get 15.43. THAT would have been Brilliant!
Because that is just a decimal approximation of the area.
