How the hell do you find the length of chord BA???A?@??!@?@#?
I used cosine rule, hoping it's right.How the hell do you find the length of chord BA???A?@??!@?@#?
WOOTT did that in the last like 15 seconds.I used the cosine rule
AB^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 - 2*2*2*cos(pi/3)
AB^2 = 4
AB = 2
I was thinking that during it, seems bit of a paradox to me. Ended up with 2pi/3 +2 as the final answer for the perimeter though.The angles at the circumference had to be equal, since the triangle was isosceles (equal radius). But since the angle at the center was 60, then that meant the angles at the circumference were both 60 as well, therefore the triangle was equilateral. Therefore, the length was the same as the radius (2)
i got that too but i simplified it to 2 ( pie/3 + 1)I was thinking that during it, seems bit of a paradox to me. Ended up with 2pi/3 +2 as the final answer for the perimeter though.
No.Wasnt it just square root 3? Cuz of the 60; 30 triangles?
