Special Triangle Challenge 

Let's gooo he got sponsored again

Brilliant. I guess that means no more videos where 69 and 420 are the solutions. 🤣

More sponsorships to come!!

At last week's math department meeting (I teach Spec Ed at a ~600 student high school) I mentioned this fun new channel I discovered called Andy Math. This video is going in an email to the department. Thanks, these are a lot a fun.

A tiny bit bummed this one didn't use pi, but still a fun watch! lol! Happy Pi Day!

I JUST REALIZED, I GOT THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON MY MATH TEST! I’m so gonna watch all your videos looking for more problems they put on my tests, sneaky teachers…

Finally same answear as Andy!

Asker: "How do you know how to answer all these problems." Andy: "I paid attention in high school."

HOW EXCITING CHAIN 👇

You have a Brilliant Sponsor. How exciting.

Do I know everything you cover? Yes. Do I still watch all your videos, regardless? Also yes.

Fun, I took a different approach. Since all of the 3 small RTs are similar, they're all 30-60-90. So I made my own not-to-scale version, and I strategically but arbitrarily assigned my square's side a length of sqrt(3). Then I found the left portion of my hypotenuse to be 1 and the right one to be 3. So I know my hypotenuse measures 4 + sqrt(3), and my side divided by my hypotenuse works out to be (4sqrt(3) - 3)/13. Since I know the given hypotenuse is 13, the given square side must be 4sqrt(3) - 3. Then I squared it.

How eclectic!

I started to get scared until I was assured at the end that it was indeed exciting.

I did this with similar triangles and it was waaaay more work

Always watch your interesting problems. Thankful to your videos.

How. Brilliant.

Absolutely adore this channel, and send it to my kids all the time

Pretty sure I’ve looked at Brilliant. I will definitely look again. Anything that demonstrates the deep beauty of mathematics is truly exciting to me. Thanks.

How exciting

2:15 You could have used the property of a²-b²=(a+b)*(a-b) It would have made things easy

Get your bag brother

So happy for you that you got sponsored!

Hey, this was the question I sent

You make me feel so dumb. Thank you for humbling me.

I am a designer so sometimes I use 3d model to solve these questions. But I also do this with my own. And usually the number is without any decimals so I solve it 2 times reaching same answer 15.430 and then give up to look for your explanation and get the same answer (never doubting me again)

They dont cancel, they reduce to 1!

Tops❤!

Andy stays winning

You're good

I have this math challenge I’ve tried for a while but still can’t get it. Is there a way you can try it? Also how would I be able to give the challenge? Edit: I don’t know if it’s possible.

I got this question on my math exam!

You sponsored your own video?

We cry over math not boys 🙂

OK tough guy, what would the area of the maximum size origami sculpture that could fit through all those doors behind you?

At one stage root 3 x root 3 becomes root 9 (then, later, 3) at another stage root 3 x root 3 immediately becomes 3. How. Odd.

hey, how you that motions step by step? It would help me in my online classes

Yo this one could be solved in hundreds of ways 😂 I solved it then I watched you do it absolutely different ways same results

could be easier if using Law of Sines

I am having to find 3d prism’s surface area in school, but I am very bad at it. Do you know the formula?

I tried solving this myself and ended up with sqrt(3)•x=sqrt(3)•x and that is correct I will accept no other answers

I got the Area as 169/(4+2*sqrt*(3)). Not sure where I went wrng

How easy

I did it using trigonometry. Let: x be the length of the lower side of the right. y be the length of the side of the square. z be de length of the lower side of the left. Using tan(), we can get this: x = y÷tan(60°) z = y÷tan(30°) Then, we can solve for y: x + y + z = 13 cm (y÷tan(60°)) + (y÷tan(30°)) + y = 13 cm y(1÷tan(60) + 1÷tan(30°) + 1) = 13 cm y = 13 cm÷(1÷tan(60°) + 1÷tan(30°) + 1) I plugged it into my calculator and gave me y = 4√3 - 3. y² = 57 - 24√3.

hOw ExCiTiNg

Or sum to ZERO!

thanks doctor math

Too heavy. Plus the camera wasn't invented yet.

If you knew x=3.93, why didn't you just square 3.93 to get 15.43. THAT would have been Brilliant!
