    Prove the Theorem of the Broken Chord

    The theory of the broken chord asserts that if AB and BC make up a broken chord in a circle, where BC > AB and if M is the midpoint of arc ABC, the foot F of the perpendicular from M on BC is the midpoint of the broken chord ABC.

    Geometry : Volume of Cubes and Area of Triangle

    A large cube is 2 feet on each edge. How many cubes - one inch on each edge- will it take to fill the large cube? If the base of a triangle is increased by 20% and the altitude to that base is decreased by 40% then by what percent is the area changed? Is that an increase or a decrease? Decrease by 30%. Is this correct?

    Solve for beta

    In the attached problem, I am trying to solve for Beta. We have done other problems that solve for the faces of the triangle but not sure on how to solve for this face.

    Degree of Angles in Triangles

    1) For the given triangles, a = 14.5m, b = 6.03m and alpha = 55.6 degrees. Find theta. Answer in units of degrees. No picture, but use points (0,0), (5,0), (5,7) for triangle one. The x side is labeld a and the angle near the origin is alpha. Now the second triangle is against the y side or against the side from (5,0)
