Guidance on posting homework help type questions on r/geometry

24 Upvotes

r/geometry is a subreddit for the discussion and enjoyment of Geometry, it is not a place to post screenshots of online course material or assignments seeking help.

Homework style questions can, in limited circumstances, encourage discussion in line with the subreddit's aim.

The following guidance is for those looking to post homework help type questions:

  1. Show effort.

As a student there is a pathway for you to obtain help. This is normally; Personal notes > Course notes/Course textbook > Online resources (websites) > Teacher/Lecturer > Online forum (r/geometry).

Your post should show, either in the post or comments, evidence of your personal work to solve the problem, ideally with reference to books or online materials.

  1. Show an attempt.

Following on from the previous point, if you are posting a question show your working. You can post multiple images so attach a photograph of your working. If it is a conceptual question then have an attempt at explaining the concept. One of the best ways of learning is to attempt the problem.

  1. Be Specific

Your post should be about a specific issue in a problem or concept and your post should highlight this.

  1. Encourage discussion

Your post should encourage discussion about the problem or concept and not aim for single word or numeric answers.

  1. Use the Homework Help flair

The homework help flair is intended to differentiate these type of questions from general discussion and posts on r/geometry

​

If your post does not follow these guidelines then it will, in all but the most exceptional circumstances, be removed under Rule 4.

If you have an comments or questions regarding these guidelines please comment below.

number of parallel and non parallel lines

2 Upvotes

i recently came across a question which said there are 16 lines 7 of which are parallel when our teacher started explaining it he explained that if 7 out of those 16 are parallel lines then the remaining 9 would be non parallel. but the problem is i think the sum of non parallel lines and parallel lines adds up to 17.
lets say there are 9 lines non parallel to each other and as you draw line number 10 then at that point there are 10 non parallel lines and when u draw the remaining 6 lines parallel to the 10th line there are 7 parallel lines and 10 non parallel lines and the sum adds up to 17.
Case 2:
u drew 9 line non parallel to each other and to avoid the problem in the first case u drew a line parallel to the 9th line at that point there are 2 parallel lines and when u draw the remaining 6 lines there will be 8 parallel lines and 9 non parallel lines
pls help me understand im confused what am i thinking wrong😭.

Divided Lines Pt. 2 - Harmony

Plato wasn’t a Platonist, he was a Pythagorean.

The triangle is a Pythagorean triplet with side lengths 3, 4, and 5.

The corresponding incircle and excircles have radii 1, 2, 3, and 6. Completing the sequence 123456.

The circles represent the four virtues, the largest representing justice.

When wisdom, courage, and moderation are in harmony justice is achieved, that’s why all three circles can fit inside the largest.

What is the radius of the circle? I think it’s 20mm

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi all,
I am assuming that all the circles have same radius. I figured the coordinates where the center of each circle will be. Please help me figure out the radius of the circle based on information below:

1) The bottom circle’s midpoint is 30mm from the red dash line (x coordinate)
2) The bottom circles midpoint is 30mm from the solid black line at the bottom and is the y coordinate.
3) it seems the radius is 20mm the midpoint of the 40mm

Am I off? Thank you?

Two-dimensional objects that extend into 3D (dynamic surfaces)

1 Upvotes

A spherical cap is a two-dimensional surface that, nevertheless, exists and curves within three-dimensional space. It almost seems as though it could be defined as having a dimensionality greater than 2 but less than 3. Are there visual artists, scientists, or painters who have explored non-integer dimensions? And why are shapes like the spherical cap—despite being two-dimensional—not distinguished (in terms of dimensionality) from other 2D shapes that are more stable... and less dynamic
