    You are given a triangle that has sides of 66cm, 73cm, and 94cm. One of the angles is right-angled (meaning that it is possible by trial and error to calculate what each of the angles are). Inside this triangle is a square, so that three corners are in contact with the lines bounding the triangle. One of the sides or the square, which we shall now dub z, is also tangent to a circle, with a radius such that the centre of the circle lies along the side of the triangle with length 73cm. You are also given a regular octagon, which you are told is the same area as the total are of the circle and triangle if they are taken together (i.e. the overlapping area is not counted twice), and one side of this octagon forms another side of equal length belonging to a second square. The area of this square is dubbed x.

    Question 1
    Give the value, to three significant figures, of x.

    Question 2
    An isosceles triangle is drawn so that it has the same area as the above square (i.e. x), and with two sides that are equal to the square root of x (henceforth dubbed y). What is the length of the third side?

    Question 3
    Prove that the triangle above exists

    Question 4
    What is the area of a octagon of side length y, in cubic inches. (Note that this question uses non-euclidean goemetry)

    Question 5
    Through cunning use of Pythaogoras' Theorem, prove that aliens do not exist.

    Question 6
    If [​IMG], then what does y smell like?

    Question 7
    What is the answer of this question?

    question two is easy, the length of the 3rd side is 2x, as you're adding x^2 twice, so it's value is 2x^2, root of that is 2x, so y = 2x, and the answer to the rest is 42

    Full definition so you need to define 3 and 1 first before you can use it to define 2 ;)

    Are you challenging me? :D
    2 is the number that goes after 1 and before 3, 1 is the number that goes after 0 and before the 2, 3 is the number that goes after 2 and before 4, 0 is the number that goes after -1 and before 1, 4 is the number that goes after 3 and before 5, -1 is the number that goes after -2 and before -1, etc. I CAN DO ALOT MORE :D

    That's the problem. You can never fully define 2 using that method :rolleyes:
