How good is /sci/ at geometry?

[Anonymous No.8908492]

The tangents are pependicular

[Anonymous No.8908514]

What is being asked here?

[Anonymous No.8908517]

>>8908514
Area of the polygon created by the straight lines, I would assume.

[Anonymous No.8908525]

>>8908492
32?

[Anonymous No.8908528]

>>8908525
nope its 48 but I cant figure it out

[Anonymous No.8908550]

>>8908492
is info missing, or does the distance between O1 and O2 not matter?

[Anonymous No.8908553]

>>8908528
Yeah right its 48.
The circles intersect orthogonally.
So just join o1 and o2 with the top point of intersection of circles, and you get a right triangle with o1o2 as the base.After that it;s just figuring out the area of a prallelogram by dropping a perpendicular from 01 to B02. Done.

[Anonymous No.8908555]

>>8908550
That's 12.

[Anonymous No.8908557]

>>8908550
They are meant to intersect orthognoally I think.

[Anonymous No.8908558]

I'm going to say a prayer for you

No it isn't.

[Anonymous No.8908564]

>>8908553
What do you mean by intersect orthogonally?

[Anonymous No.8908590]

>>8908553
Is this what you mean?
I get 52 as an answer them

He means he pulled additional information out of his ass.

[Anonymous No.8908622]

What the fuck is this

[Anonymous No.8908627]

Not enough information

[Anonymous No.8908657]

>>8908627
It has one of the most retarded descriptions I have ever seen (its from a university test)
I think they are trying to say that the tangents of the points where the 2 circles meats are perpendicular to eachother because thats the only obvious thing they can give to help
Even if that is the case does that mean that if we connect the 2 centers to a touching point that will make a right angle between the radius's

[Anonymous No.8908664]

I fucking hate geometry.

[Anonymous No.8908678]

>>8908590
Then you can't add (or multiply).

(4x8) + (4x8)/2 = 48

[Anonymous No.8908679]

>>8908657
>meats
oh no

[Anonymous No.8908680]

Holy shit I am retarded I for some fucking reason thought 4x8=36
>>8908590 is correct
>>8908553 thanks senpai

If you can get the side length between points A and B, you guys win!

[Anonymous No.8908851]

>>8908492
Not enough information. You can choose any length for O1 to O2.

[Anonymous No.8908874]

>>8908851
Not if the circles are intersecting orthogonally.

[Anonymous No.8908908]

>The tangents are pependicular

That's not helpful information. Every tangent to a circle is always perpendicular to the circle's radius at the point of intersection -- no exceptions.

The problem is unsolvable without knowing some additional information -- for example, knowing angle O1O2B or O2O1A.

Since we don't know the angles, we're free to assume any value we want for angle O1O2B. So imagine orbiting B clockwise a little bit so that its radial line is almost perpendicular, making the angle O1O2B slightly less than a right angle (let's say 89.999 degrees). The tangent line would then make a much smaller angle to the line O1O2, which would then require circle 1 to move a very long distance to the left in order for O1A to become half the length of O2B (as required). As a result, the quadrilateral O1O2BA would become immensely larger.

So I propose a different problem: Let's define theta to be the angle O1O2B. Given theta, and given the fact that O1A=4 and O2B=8, what function of theta yields the length from O1 to O2? That would be an appropriate problem for a high school trig course.

[Anonymous No.8909022]

Yeah it's 48.

[Anonymous No.8909025]

>>8909022
You're making the assumption that the two circles are perpendicular where they intersect on the bottom. This goofy OP hasn't specified that much, so we have no clue.

Why don't you fucking learn how to write in English? If I were related to you I'd be ashamed you're browsing 4chan instead of attending primary school. Learning the meaning of; tangent, perpendicular, circle and intersection is shit you'd learn at around age 11.

oh fuck im dead.

Give me one example of two circles that do not intersect perpendicularly. Please.

[Anonymous No.8910317]

>>8909458
these tangents aren't perpendicular
therefore the circles aren't perpendicular

[Anonymous No.8910326]

What book do I read to get good at questions like this?

They thought the intersection points of the circle weren't guaranteed to create a right triangle.

[Anonymous No.8912941]

prove that they are :^)
