How long is AC, the red line?

>>35621800
10 as in ten nigger cuckrobot

>>35621800
Hah.
10 inches.

Nice dubs.

>>35621800
10inches desu fag

There is no Y axis scale and no marks to indicate symmetry in the lines.
This is a trick question at best and incorrectly drawn at worst.

good job lads, here's another one:

>Ten candles stand burning in a dining room. A strong breeze blows in through an open window and extinguishes two of them. Checking back in on the candles later, you see that one more candle has gone out. To make sure no more flames go out, you shut the window. Assuming the wind doesn't extinguish any more candles, how many candles do you have left in the end?

How is it 10? Been a while since I've done trigonometry

>>35621996
BD is obviously 10 as, and AC must be the same.

8 and a half? What is "in the end"? Next morning?

>>35621966
3 obviously.

Orgenally

>>35622030
>BD is obviously 10
How?
How do you know that?
We know one length of one side of a right triangle.
The other two are unknown.

>>35621966
Its either gnna be the extinguished ones, bc they didnt burn down, or all of them, since they all still exist or sth else stupid...

>>35621966
none, they all go out eventually

>>35621966
You have 10 candles left, burning or not, and the rest is assumptions

If you meant how many do you have left burning, then 7.

If you meant how many do you have left burning but you re-light the ones which go out when you check, you have 10.

>>35622061
In the end means a long time after the the third candle is extinguished by the wind.

>>35621996
The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge. In this case, it is ten. AC is equal to BD. which is another radius of the circle.

>>35621963
>>35622104
It's a children's game, you're overthinking it.

>>35622104
Given that b is the middle of the circle, bd is 10.

Americans are retarded

BC = 5 / 25
AB = 10 / 100
----------- +
11.18 /125

You gotta use Pythagorean theorem

>>35622143
>In the end means a long time after the the third candle is extinguished by the wind.
then you have 0 left burning, as they all go out eventually.

>>35621966
Three.

>>35622104
Radius of the sector is 10, BD is the radius of the sector, and BD is the same as AC

>>35622109

These ones are correct. The other ones burn and melt down to nothing, since they are candles.

>>35622193
In this case, you are the retard. The answer is 10. Here's an explanation.

>>35622143
>you're overthinking it
No I'm applying proper mathematics.

>>35622151
No, it doesn't. No scale is provided. I could draw that figure literally infinite ways with AB being a length of anything from arbitrarily above 0 to infinity and they would all look identical with proper axis scaling.

>>35622221
>Radius of the sector is 10
If this were in polar coordinates, I would agree.
But all we have is an arbitrary curve. Nothing says that's an actual circle.

>>35622236
That's assuming you don't light the candles again when you check the room.

That's assuming a particular ending point as well.

There's not enough information.

>>35622236
He is the retard because I don't know where he's pulling those numbers from, but there's no indication that's a circle.
That could be a cosine wave for all we know.

>>35622323

It's also assuming a particular endpoint.

>>35622391
this

>>35622323
E because it stacks.

>>35622249
>No, it doesn't. No scale is provided. I could draw that figure literally infinite ways with AB being a length of anything from arbitrarily above 0 to infinity and they would all look identical with proper axis scaling.
BD is the radius and BC is obviously half the radius you fucking dunce.

>>35622532
Look, they're all bummed there is no clear indicator that b is the centre of a circle, but still got it...
just keep those riddles coming

>>35622532
>BD is the radius
No, it isn't.
Geometry is not strict to the way it looks, that could be y=cos((pi/20)x) for all we know. There is 0 indication that it's actually a circle.

It's not a properly drawn diagram. It is not actually solvable without making an unacceptable amount of assumptions.

>>35622532
>>35622618
For fucking example

Both of these waves look identical.
If you removed the scaling on the Y axis you have absolutely no way to tell what the sizes of any lines or shapes drawn are outside of strictly lying along the X axis.

>>35622618
>>35622659
>b-but muh scaling!
The lack of scales isn't even the issue here. They just needed to tell you the curve is circular. Nothing else is needed. You're just a dumbass who could not have figured it out either way.

Here's a new one:

>Mice are famous for their ability to multiply at breakneck speeds. The type of mouse we have here gives birth once a month, birthing 12 babies each time. Baby mice mature and can give birth two months after they are born.

You picked up one of these darling baby mice at the pet shop and brought it home the day after it was born. In 10 months from now, how many mice will you have?

>>35622431
>>35622391
>>35622430
Correct.

>>35622379
Kinda funny

>>35622532
Show me your boobies

>>35622728
>You're just a dumbass who could not have figured it out either way.
No, I can figure it.

It's a length of 1.
Why?
Because I've decided it's a curve that leads to BD being a length of 1.

If they said it was drawn in polar coordinates, or that it was a proper circle, or gave Y scaling, then yes. It would be properly solvable.
As it stands it is not actually a solvable problem because there is simply not enough information available.
The other riddles are fine, but this in particular is just flat out unsolvable.

>>35622755
One mouse.

Nice dubs.

>>35622784
You're not fooling anyone buddy. Saying the problem is scaling was a clear indicator you didn't know how to actually solve the problem.

>>35622806
The default for 99% of geometry is Cartesian, so it's not unreasonable to say it's a problem of axis scaling.

>>35622755
Overthought it, assumed she was pregger. Just the one is the answer. No mate with her

>>35622755
but thats cruelty, mice need a mate. you musnt keep a single mouse. they arent robots, either get a mate or a samesex friendo for them.

>>35622104
i thought autists where supposed to be good at math...

>>35623061
Read the thread.
There's no information supporting that BD = 10 unless you arbitrarily decide so, in which case BD = Anything

YOU AUTIST

>>35623141
>Diagonal line AC is exactly the same length as diagonal line BD
That isn't evidence you fucking retard.
This diagram makes the ASSUMPTION that it is a proper circle
It makes the ASSUMPTION that the Y axis is scaled against the X axis at a 1:1 ratio
It makes the ASSUMPTION it is Cartesian, and not Polar
It is ASSUMED that all of these ASSUMPTIONS are true because the person who made this is WRONG


Learn some actual fucking math

>>35623141
to be fair, OP didn't post the part the autists are screeching about:
>As shown in the diagram below, you have one-fourth of a circle. Within this circle is rectangle ABCD, which touches the edge of the circle at point D.
>Assuming that point B is located at the center of the circle, how long is diagonal line AC?

>>35623224
>>35623141
Oh, and on top of that
>Line X is the same length as Line Y
>No markings to indicate that
Again
W R O N G
R
O
N
G

There is NOTHING to indicate anything about this is true without just saying "lol okay i guess so", which is what anybody who hasn't taken mathematics past basic algebra says, and is flat out wrong.
If they were the same length they would have symmetry markings.
Because they don't, we're actually forced to assume the /opposite/ that they are not the same length, and you can't deduce anything from it.

>>35623224

It's more of a logic puzzle, but I guess that there's SOME math. But you really don't need to know anything more than third grade shit to solve it. You're talking about Y axises and other shit you don't learn until high school/college.

M?

>>35623671
Correct.

>>35623660
This isn't what the game says but I suppose it's technically correct, since 1000 times 0 is 00
