    I just started studying grade 11 and I'm glad i found your videos, the visual proofs are amazing, they just sink into me, the formula's are so easy to remember!
    What a time to be in, I don't feel dissapointed anymore that 10th grade 2021 board exams were cancelled due to the pandemic and not the 2022 one.. cause i just recieved something way better ^^

    wow, i just love this series. It helps to understand theese complicated topics so fast, it’s really awesome. I‘m sure this is going to be a big success :)

    6:50 - I'm not exactly sure how you derived cos(theta/2) as 2 sides for the two right triangles within the isosceles. I understand why the entire isosceles hypotenuse side is equal to 2cos(theta/2), But since you divided the isosceles into two right angles, the formula used for either should be ADJ_SIDE = hypotenuse*cos(theta/2). or 1 * cos(theta/2). specifically because the side solved for is adjacent to

      Thanks Brandon.
      I want to be helpful, but I'm not sure I understand where we're disconnected. We agree that the hypotenuse of the big gray triangle is 2cos(θ/2). So each half must be cos(θ/2), and you correctly state the formula used for this: ADJ_SIDE = hypotenuse*cos(θ/2). So it sounds like we both nailed it and that's why I'm not sure what your question is. I'll try again if you clarify, but it sounds to me like you got it.

    It seems to me that the (beatiful) Thale´s theorem is a special case of the Inscribed angle theorem. Do you think the same?

    • @DennisDavisEdu
      @DennisDavisEdu  Před rokem

      Yes I agree with you. The central angle (diameter) would be π radians, and every corresponding inscribed angle would be half that: π/2 radians, or a right angle.

    Geometrifying Trigonometry
    I have made a language (parser /compiler/lexical analyser)which takes trigonometry expression as input
    And
    Converts that to euclidean geometry
    Then
    It searches hidden truths from geometry
    Automated theorem prover
    Geometrifying trigonometry
    Is the formal language which is cross platform communicator
    Platform 1 is trigonometry ecpression in latex or excel format
    Platform 2 is euclidean geometry
    My system is formalized language and framework to do this

    I am sure you get this question all the time, but, may I ask what software you use to create these wonderful videos? I would welcome an answer from anyone. And Thanks, your videos have saved my life (high school math teacher).

      I use Microsoft Powerpoint with the "morph" transition to create the animated parts.

    9:04 I don’t understand how to get 2sinhalftheta ? Could you explain it to me please?

    • @DennisDavisEdu
      @DennisDavisEdu  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Considering the big triangle, the hypotenuse is 2 since it has 2 radii each of length 1.
      The angle on the left side of the diagram is ϴ/2 (by the inscribed angle theorem).
      So the side Opposite ϴ/2 is sin(ϴ/2) times the hypotenuse (2). (see TR-17 if not clear)
      So 2sin(ϴ/2).
