- Many people requested this one. It was asked to 9th grade students in India who had only learned geometry, so you are supposed to solve it without using trigonometry. I thank Anand Gautam for discovering the incredible solution!

Beautiful. The problem, the explanation, and everything this channel brings is pure amazing

Dont you find it annoying and frustrating and insulting?

sumakit cjs well, in french π is prononced like "pee" so my username works better
I eventually realized you had to do it if you wanted a non trig solution to this problem but I wouldn't have satisfied the time constraints of a traditional math test.
That is why trig was invented. To save time and eliminate the need to come up with tricks.
It took me a couple of days jumping from one way to another until finally could jump out of the box

The first part was real easy. 45 and 70 degrees part of the triangle has to equal 180 degrees. So the missing part must be 65. I didn’t exactly understand what the second part needed me to do so I just watched it after. Took me about 5 minutes tops
I have just came across this channel and I am so glad about it
And I definitely became the constant member of it :)
I really love this channel as it shows 'out of the box thinking'.It feels cool to do so.
I actually thought about rotation and solved the first part.I was too lazy for the second part.But the point I wanna make is that due to your videos,Presh,I was able to get better at geometry quite a bit,and also in Math problem solving in general.I wanna thank you for that.My creativity also actually increased.Please keep coming up with such good Math videos.
Also we can find the angle by folding ADE and ABF when we draw the height of AEF
Nice puzzle. I was content to solve this using brute force and was surprised to find whole number answers. This of course meant there was a more elegant solution. Thanks for showing the reflection trick. Immediately this brings to mind folding tricks, origami as one. if we fold the two flaps on either side, they would fit neatly within the larger triangle in the middle. Super neat!
The first time coming across ur videos I have started liking maths.you really have comprehensive explanations.THANK YOU.
Very interesting, I love Geometry and this is my edutainment. Thank you.
Dayummmmm....Why i'm not find your channel early?... I just want to entertain myself with this something useful rather than a meme video or drama that wasting my time a lot while quarantine 😭😭😭
There is another elegant way to do this question, this was the way i did this question when it first came to me:
My solution is about to prove that this EF segment defined by a 45° in the square is aways tangent to the quarter of circunference with unity radious and center in A.
To do this take the quarter of circunference and trace a tangent segment of it, now with the intersection point "P" trace AP and look that the pairs of triangles ADE, APE and ABF,APF are congruents by the Side Side Angle case (SSA - common sides, unity side and straight angle). With it, see the congruence between DAE, PAE and PAF, BAP angles, nevertheless how DAE+PAE+PAF+BAP=90° and DAE=PAE, PAF=BAP, then PAE+PAF=45°, proving that EAF will aways be 45°.
So, we can guarantee that if we pass a quarter circunference in the problem with radious 1 and center A it will tangent EF. Doing this, let the intersection be an X point, now observe the AXF and ABF triangles - they are congruent by the same case before - and see that AFB and AFX(AFX=AFE) angles are both 70°, letting angle AEF= 65°(AFE+FEA+EAF=180° - EAF=45°, AFE=70°). (:
I'm impressed with myself that I actually understood this one from start to finish.
Surprised that the solution doesn't involve the gougu theorem.
Lmao

I’ve been watching you channel for a long time that i am able now to every problem you upload. It feels amazing when you say did you figure it out and the answer is yes :)
Ah yes, the negotiator
Watching your last videos enables me to solve this problem on my own! Thanks Presh!
Amazing solution!!!!!!! That's why I love this channel very much.

Love your videos, "Mind your decisions".
I thought ur previous problems r simple but this one is truly some big brain stuff!!
I’d have chosen a brute force method and simply made equations over equations and then slowly eliminating the unknown parts till I can solve it. But your way is much faster and easier. Thank you for making this awesome content.
I tried this but I was only got x+y=135 over and over again (where x is angle AEF and y is angle AFE)
I couldn't solve this one, I tried the linear system of equations but it was singular. However, having watched this, I feel that I now have learned a trick that might help me solve problems in the future. Thanks so much for this wonderful channel!
As a ninth grader in India, I'll admit that I was unable to solve this one, but I was able to understand exactly how you reached the conclusions. I just didn't think about rotation. Thanks for sharing this problem, we have tons of questions like these in our book since almost half our chapters in the book are geometry this year (Quadrilaterals, Triangles, Lines and Angles, Circles, etc).

Спасибо, Мастер! Благодаря Вам я увидела большие пробелы в своём образовании и в характере. Особенно много мне дали Ваши задачи по геометрии. Я восхищаюсь Вами!
We are inspired by you. Thanks for motivating us to do math videos 😌💝
Presh's way ("half angle" model) is good, I just want to show alternative, which is good too. Draw FH perpendicular to AE and meet @ H, thus A,B,F,H and E,C,F,H are co-circular (concyclic), respectively.
So ∠HBF=∠HAF=45° (circumferential angle), so BH must be the diagonal of ABCD; connect DH (which must be diagonal), so ∆ADH congruent to ∆CDH, thus ∠DAH=∠DCH=90-45-20=25°, hence, ∠HFE =25° too, bcz it's circumferential angle, so we get ∠AEF=90-25=65°
As for second part of the problem, we can use Gougu theorems and similar triangles (∆ADE and ∆FHE) to get answer, that's 2 (for you guys to do 😁).
Dude I have two doubts
First is that what you mean by co circular
Do you mean concyclic???
And second is that gougou is pythagoras theorem??
iam asian
@@ujjwalnarayan07 1, by that it means the four pts are at same circle. 2, yes, Gougu = Pythagorean
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing!
The first video I fully understand, thank you!
I clicked the video thinking that I'd have to hear all about the Gougu theorem. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I didn't.
Just found another way! By drawing two circles with radii DE and BF, in vertices E and F, respectively. Ultimately finding the altitude of triangle AEF. The rest is pretty straightforward.
Ya
How do the two circles solve the first part (i have not even got to second part)
Good thing i stumbled upon this channel by chance. This is a good brain exercise. Looking forward to more math problems.
I love your learning mindset that great people never stop learning.
Love from india presh sir .. one thing I want to tell you that for your such amazing geometry videos i am able to improve my geometry to a great extent . ❤️ Btw i solved the problem using trigonometry and my answer came approximately ≈ 64.743 ≈ 65 . (Reason is because the values which the calculator gave was approximated ) but TBH your solution about rotating the triangle was great 👍 . Came to learn a new thing form you , thanks 😀
It can be also done by similarity and in most of the square triangle question rotating the triangle is clue:-)
We can also generalize it by taking angle theta instead of 45 degrees

That's awesome I loved the way you figure it out......
Never thought I’d encounter this problem again lmao we had it in year 8 math in China
Sorry i need to turn the bell on i refreshed the page at the perfect time tho
It’s possible to prove, using the exact same argument, that EF is tangent to the circle centered in A with radius 1, for ALL pair of points EF on the sides such that EAF = 45.
It’s easy to see that if P in EF is the circle’s point of tangency, then DE = EP and FB = FP.
Therefore,
p(CEF) = (CE + ED) + (CF + FB) = 2.
I learnt the answer and advice others to learn. Thanks so much.

16 years ago i could solve it in 5 minutes ) but now i think "wow, amazing" :)
I found the length of the perimeters interesting, as far as the angles all triangles equal 180 degrees so solving the unknown angle was no problem .
Watched a handful of these videos in the last two days. I noticed not once (yet) has the Law of Sines come into play. It actually made finding the perimeter easier than finding the measure of the angle. Still, the solution does seem more satisfying than using Law of Sines.
I always make a point to try the problem before watching. I did the whole thing using trig, and when I started watching the first thing you said was "without using trig", duh, no wonder it wasn't so trivial. What a clever solution though. Good video!
This made me realise how out of shape I am with math. I remember having this in my grade 4 mock exams in the Philippines.

"No matter where we pick the points of E and F the perimeter of this triangle will always be equal to 2." | Me: _Uh-huh..._
"Suppose that BF has a length equal to x." | Me: _Uh-huh..._
"This means DF' also has a length equal to x." | Me: _Uh-huh..._
"Suppose that DE has a length equal to y." | Me: _Uh-huh..._
"Therefore EF has a length equal to x+y." | Me: _Uh-huh..._
"We can cancel out the y's and cancel out the x's..." | Me: _Uh-huh..._
"...and we're left with 1+1 and that's exactly equal to 2..." | Me: *THAT IS CORRECT!* 😎

I almost gave up on this one even after guessing the answer, but took a pen and paper and quickly did it. Satisfying this one.
Thanks for explaining this ❤️
Everything was cool until this rotation.. I mean wth!
Just one word to say:- "WOW"
i think is more intuitive to begin just by drawing a vertical line from A to EF and then continue in almost the same approach, than rotate triangle ABF
Thanks man for such interesting question and solution.
Wait a min.
In triangle EFC
EF square = FC square + EC square
That isnt satisfying for their values in terms of x and/or y
I couldnt solve this even with trigonometry
Me
Law of sines
The rotation solution is really elegant and satisfying! I got there maybe a little more laboriously just solving a system of equations with unknown angles AEF, AFE, FEC, and EFC: AFE + EFC = 110; AEF + FEC = 115; FEC + EFC = 90; AEF + AFE = 135. So AEF = 65, FEC = 50, EFC = 40, and AFE = 70.
Angle e and f both side satisfy with 65 and 70 so this doubt create because exactly answer not solve angle e is 70 or 65 confusion create

Actually quite simple and intuitive if you consider it as as a folding problem. You fold B to a point on the line EF. Then you fold D to the same point. The circumference is then equal to BC + DC = 2.
Yes, it's true, but how can you prove that the folded point B (for example) lies on the line EF?
That is, that the height of triangle AEF is 1 ?
Nice
You can also solve the first part by proving that the center of circle (AEF) lies on AC

When I see these types of problems, I usually try to set up a bunch of equations and then solve for the unknown variables.
Yeah everyone does that ig because we've all been taught that way. Whenever something is unknown just start assuming variables and then it's just one variable after another and then try and get those many number of unique equations.
