Engineer: Someone who has forgotten more about math than you've ever known. I'm an engineer, and I've done so much calculus that I can't do basic arithmetic anymore.
This right here! I'm a civil engineering major in calculus 2 at the moment. and this is super accurate. Even the math teachers joke about this. Once you start seeing the all of the higher level math, it's not the calculus that's hard. Its remembering the arithmetic. That is what gets you.

As a middle school teacher, I can confirm that my students band together like these guys to try and figure out their math homework. It's the funniest shit I see every morning until I remember that they get graded over it and they are scrambling to figure it out in a group of like 10 people every morning because none of them got it in class.
I did that a lot in Freshman year of college with a few of the guys. Granted I found Business related math a hell of a lot easier than stuff like this.
@FrostBug Teaching a business math class, I have learned to check what answers the calculator will give when you forget parentheses. And I write out the formulas with parentheses on the board. And I have watched a student who has forgotten parentheses twice forget them again while I am coaching him through how to use his calculator. Anyone that thinks "just slap a calculator and we're good" is either much better or much worse at math than he thinks he is.
@FrostBug I'm saying that the ability to enter a meaningful expression into the calculator s the hard part. The calculator is stupid; it'll pop out a number to just about any gibberish you feed it.
Even after graduating high school last year in May, it looks like 7th Grade is still the definitive year to rob the innocence from the collective student body.
I graduated high school 4 years ago and it's still the same. 7th grade was when I first received a D and F grade on my report card, so I remember that year in particular being an eye-opener for me. Seems like it's similar for others too...
Geoffs parenting style is exactly how I want to be when I become a dad. Loving, but stern, no censorship but taught to be respectful, and just be as proud as Geoff was when Millie laughed at 69 lol
I learned two things from this ... Greg Miller is way cooler at rooster teeth than he was at ign, while Alfredo is as cool as he was at ign. So apparently lots of people from ign come to rooster teeth lol. Point 2, Jeremy is a very angry drunk lol.
That is all true, but the question is: what are the new dimensions of his patio (i.e., reduce one or both dimensions so that the resulting square footage is 147.2, though in fact it isn't necessary to calculate the area at any point). There are a number of solutions of course, but the easy one is to reduce the 10' dimension by 9/25 (Jack conveniently provided this as 36%) to 6.4'. To verify, 6.4 * 23 = 147.2.
I love that Geoff is sitting there letting Millie copy the answer. My dad used to do the same thing because he would be like you’re in high school not a fucking engineer
It's these kinds of math problems I hate, there are far more simpler ways of doing basic things, like they said, if you want to put a little garden on your patio, just outline where you want it or like Jeremy said from the fence to the walkway, you don't have to sit there with a calculator in one hand and a pile of mathematics books next to you to figure out how big you want it.
10 * 23 = 230 (Original area of patio) 230 * (9/25) = Area of new garden 230 * 0.36 (simplified) = 82.8 (area of garden) 230 - 82.8 = 147.2 (new area of patio) 147.2 / 10 = 14.72 (divide new area by ONE of the old dimensions; 10 is the easiest) 10 and 14.72 are the new dimensions. (should i post this on the original video?)
Shir0_1. I think the issue is in how the final shape is open ended. Your way makes most sense and would be expected, but by not defining that you’ll end up with a rectangle (utilising one of the older dimensions) there’s technically infinite answers...
i think both sides would actually be 3/5ths the size. if you increase the length of a side by a scale of 2, the area would increase by 2^2 or 4, so if we reduce the size by 9/25ths then we reduce the length of the sides by 3/5ths, which is 5.4 x 13.8, which maintains the original ratio too
18.4 x 8. Reduce each side by 20% Using 100m2 as an example (10m x 10m). 100m2 reduce by 9/25 or 36% or 0.36. 100 x 0.36 = 36. So 100 - 36 = 64. 100m2 reduced by 36% = 64m2. 64m2 would be 8m x 8m. So the sides have gone from 10m to 8m which is a reduction of 20% on each side. So doing the same for 23m x 10m (reduce 20% each side) is 18.4m x 8m. New area is 147.2m2. Keeps same aspect ratio too.
@@manamotuhake6704 you're right, i misheard the question. that means it is 16/25ths of its original size which fits with the sides being 4/5ths the size
Yes, but before calculating the dimensions, mention everything that AsianGamer Kenji said, and also mention that Greg Miller's friend scaled the entire shape to maintain the original ratio.

AP CLASS?!?! IN MIDDLE SCHOOL?!?! Imagine getting college credit in the 7th grade. That wasn't an option for me 8 years ago when I was in middle school.
It's because she has good parents that talk to her and respect her and value her opinion that she's a good kid. They never spoke down to Millie because she was a kid or made her feel like she couldn't trust or depend on them. Yeah, you have Geoff that acts and talks a certain way but he's always loved the shit out of Millie and has always made time for her. Same with Griffon. But yeah, I always love how chill she is despite the fact that she's constantly surrounded by characters. Lol. I mean Gavin was there while she was being raised, too. So imagine.
She’s grown up in a positive environment. All of AH is so kind to her and even if they swear every second and insult each other, everyone knows it’s a good joke. Kids grow up bad when their parents are strict assholes.
You need to chill the fuck out Greg. That said, if you need a contractor, I got a guy who'll do any job you give him within the span of at most 5 days.
tfw a math problem has united thousands of people of different backgrounds to try to make sense of it, and that problem is from the seventh grade. Either none of us have achieved such enlightenment that this seventh grade teacher expects, or this just proves what we always thought, that math class was always filled with bullshit questions that make no sense.
@@GenshinLover283 Don't be so certain, just last week I saw a guy in the supermarket whose cart was nothing but watermelons. In that moment I silently whispered forgiveness for doubting my math teacher.
I always hated math, I never found any of it useful, except money math, that is the only form of math I am fine doing. They need to start changing the curriculum so they teach things you absolutely need to know, and add the subjects or variations of the already studied subject/s when you get to college or high-school depending on what you are wanting to do for your chosen career. I don't remember most of what I was taught in school.
This is in no way cheating, cheating implies that someone gave you the answer or did it for you, they clearly had no idea what was going on, Michael was to busy realizing that he will have to deal with this later on, and Jeremy is siting there not caring, Greg's friend on the phone I'm not counting since he wasn't there.
@@heiheigaming9209 it's from a much older AH video where they played "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" and...mostly got things wrong. it was glorious.
Gabrielle Kuan that’s part of why our education system is fucked. Kids learn to pass the test and forget everything that doesn’t directly apply to the next test.
I have only been out of high school for 3 years. But I remember 7th-grade math being the FUCKING HARDEST THING, even though I struggled in high school with geometry forever. 7th grade was the worst for my math self-confidence. (Also the fact that teachers are very strict about *how* you solve it when there are easier and more instinctive ways or just different ways to solve stuff will never cease to piss me off)
Annabeth Norse I never showed my work in class. But I was also the highest scoring student in the class when it came to questions where I didn't have to show my work, so my teachers kinda let it happen. Especially when we'd go over questions individually and I'd explain my line of thinking.
What's the final shape? Is it a square? A rectangle? Hell, it could even be a circle garden in the patio, if we're going by Jeremy's "diameter" thought. A way to get around that would be to say, "Assume that the new garden is (insert new shape), since final shape and ratios aren't given in the question." If the teacher argues about it, say that this is the sort of shit mathematical modellers do all the time in the real world (if they really want examples, mention the SIR model in epidemic population modelling where the first assumption made is that there are no births or deaths in the population. It's from undergrad maths, look it up in wikipedia if you're interested). Still, it's yet another reason why showing the working is so important, because it's also where you can say, "Hey, teacher, you didn't give us enough fucking information to properly answer the question, because now there are technically an infinite number of answers..."
@@micky2594 except the question is to reduce the area by 9/25ths, do you reduce the length and width by an equal amount or do you just reduce the length/width? by reducing the area by 9/25ths, you are left with 147.2 square feet of patio, but with no dimensions or ratio for length x width to place it into. so for this question it could be 23 feet by 6.4 feet, 10 feet by 14.72 feet, or 8 feet by 18.4 feet. you can even get it to 12 feet by 12.26666(recurring)7 feet, which is damn close to a circle. it's a pretty garbage question when there isn't even a definite answer
@@michaelsheedy850 But the question didn't ask for the new dimensions of the perimeter, just what the new area of his patio is. The answer is 82.8. It is a really ugly answer, if you will, that wouldn't logically make sense in a real build if you were trying to do the problem for an architecture class. But it isn't for an architecture class. It's for a 7th grade class where what you're supposed to learn is how to take the area of something (L x W in this case) and find a percentage of the area by using multiplication and then division. The guys made it way more complicated by trying to figure out the length and width of the new area, but that wasn't asked for. When you try and add that in the entire problem feels illogical and too difficult to answer. Edit: Actually I got the numbers backwards. The are for his greenery is 82.8 feet so his patio area is 147.2 feet. Fucked that bit up, but the rest of it still stands in that it is a question checking the ability to figure out fractions of larger numbers.
Noa Mayer I remember taking Trigonometry in 9th grade and that shit was impossible. I basically clocked out for the entire middle portion of the course. I remember my teacher making us use proofs for everything. When she started asking for us to prove why 2+2=4 using trigonometry proofs, I questioned her in the middle of class and asked her, “What is the point of this? Why do we need to learn this?” She answered with the typical BS line that ‘you will use proofs in the real world.’ I then asked her to give me an actual, real world example of when proofs are used and that is when she told me I could either sit down or have detention. That threat gave me my answer. I ended up going from an ‘A’ to a ‘C’ in that class. And while some might see it as a retaliation by the teacher for embarrassing her, I did kind of earn it. Like I said, I clocked out for the middle section. Anytime proofs came up, I skipped them. If I remember correctly, trigonometry and proofs are lead up to Pre-Calculus. Since you just finished Calculus 3, maybe you can finally answer my decades old question, what are the real world applications for proofs? I took precal at my Middle College High School, where we were able to take college courses as our HS classes and Calc in college and I have never seen proofs since 9th grade.
A year or two ago I visited my cousin and i think she was in 3rd grade and I saw the way the book was doing it and my cousin has depression from not knowing math. 3RD FUCKIN GRADE WITH DEPRESSION
Spishie for the patio problem there can be multiple answers because of the nature of the problem. Since you are reducing the area by 9/25, one quick way of getting the dimensions of the new patio is by multiplying either dimension by 16/25 (obtained from 1-9/25) this gets you the desired area as well as the dimensions in only a few steps. If there were conditions such as the ratio of the sides had to stay the same, then multiply the two dimensions by 4/5 and you will find the new dimensions that still satisfy the same area. I would have to look at these other comments in order to check if each of them are correct but there can be an infinite amount of “correct” answers but they would seem wrong because of the context given.
grace calis That would be the case if we were reducing “to” 9/25 of the original area. The question is calling for a reduction (think subtraction) of 9/25 “from” the original area. This means the remaining area is actually 16/25 of the initial. I hope this helps.
The problem with this is that there are multiple ways to achieve new dimensions and lots of room for interpretation. Like, which side is going to be reduced? Are we taking away some of the length or the width of the patio?
There are 2 solutions for these kinds of math problems, the way your teacher tells you to solve it, and then the way you would solve it in real life, one of those is easier and faster, the other one has people puzzled all across America trying to figure out what a certain term used in the question means.
Word problems are stupid. They drown the actual problem in unnecessary details and that leads to confusion. The problem is simple just equate square yards to square feet and decide which is more
no kidding, and especially questions like "how many square feet to a square yard,", its called google, if oyu think someone whos recarpeting their house doesnt have google then they arnt recarpeting their house, theyre spending their money on finding a new job so they can afford internet
Word problems are the most useful. They teach the children how to actually apply the skills they're learning to achieve a meaningful answer. Anyone can pull out a calculator or memorize a formula; the trick to being good at math is knowing how you need to approach a question. Without that, the entire field is useless.
@@sherlockhooves574 and while that's great and all, as a person who struggles with math, word problems that drown the issue in unnecessary details caused me to fail several exams because it is legitimately difficult for me to determine what i'm supposed to do. rather than have a question that is "you want to paint a wall, it's X by Y, your favorite color is blue, you have red and yellow eyes, your house is 600 miles across, the man down the street is 5'9", where were you last friday, solve for X", why can't the question be something realistic like "you want to paint a wall. it's X by Y. a can of paint will cover 10 feet. how many cans do you need?" the unnecessary detail doesn't help in answering the question, applied math should never have stupid detail because you're trying to solve practical problems using it, not nonsense hypotheticals like "a man walks into a store and buys 60 watermelons..." if you're in a higher level math course for all those mathematicians and physicists, have the overly complex questions. but how about you tone it down for us idiots that can't keep pace, mmm?
@Impaleification There is a fine line between superfluous information and ambiguity in what the result should be. The former can be worked around, though still annoying as it can hamper much more than help someone with the concepts, the latter leads to this comments section, a metric ton of answers. Ultimately, context of the subject (likely geometry) and other information about the chapter would be necessary to know what it is looking for. Kind of makes it a bad question.
oh man lil J is gonna HATE proofs with that attitude , its gonna be all "I DONT KNOW THE ADFH IS A PARALLELOGRAM CAUSE THEY ARE LOOK AT IT" "the picture is never ri-" "LOOK AT IT"
The funny thing is, I'm in college right now, and I'm better at math now than I was in high school. I was getting F's and D's and C's in high school, yet in college I have not failed a single math test. I don't think that has anything to do with me getting better at math, either. I just thing that I got lucky and got teachers who could actually explain things correctly.
Why do the grades go A B C D and F, why is there no E? In my elementary school my teachers gave us numbers, 1 was either good or bad and 4 was the other, I don't remember, it was about 12 years ago, and the school I went to briefly (about 14 months) had you check your own work, and for homeschool I just left it out for my mom to check when I was done with it.
In the future, math problems will all be done by AI technology, so imagine the next generation will just ask their smartphones or the Alexa 3000's to do it for them. XD
Ok so will the teacher accept ANY possible dimensions? Because if the answer is just asking for the dimensions, then the correct answer is EVERY possible combination of dimensions that will give an area of 82.8 feet.
No they won’t because they’re asking for dimensions of a square, which means you can only cut either the height or width. You’re almost there, 230-82.8 gives you the new patio area 147.2. Then you have to decide which dimension you’re cutting into, length or width. If length, 147.2/10 = 14.72, therefore new dimensions are 14.72x10. If width, 147.2/23 = 6.4, so 23x6.4 are new dimensions.

As a middle school teacher, I can confirm that my students band together like these guys to try and figure out their math homework. It's the funniest shit I see every morning until I remember that they get graded over it and they are scrambling to figure it out in a group of like 10 people every morning because none of them got it in class.
I did that a lot in Freshman year of college with a few of the guys. Granted I found Business related math a hell of a lot easier than stuff like this.
@FrostBug Teaching a business math class, I have learned to check what answers the calculator will give when you forget parentheses. And I write out the formulas with parentheses on the board. And I have watched a student who has forgotten parentheses twice forget them again while I am coaching him through how to use his calculator.
Anyone that thinks "just slap a calculator and we're good" is either much better or much worse at math than he thinks he is.
@FrostBug I'm saying that the ability to enter a meaningful expression into the calculator s the hard part. The calculator is stupid; it'll pop out a number to just about any gibberish you feed it.
Bru gimme some wisdom xD
Meaning you're bad at your job if nobody understands.

Even after graduating high school last year in May, it looks like 7th Grade is still the definitive year to rob the innocence from the collective student body.
I graduated high school 4 years ago and it's still the same. 7th grade was when I first received a D and F grade on my report card, so I remember that year in particular being an eye-opener for me. Seems like it's similar for others too...
we graduated at the same time aye
I'm in my 30s and it was that way for me, too.
We graduated same year, and I absolutely agree
Also graduated the same year. I prefer algebra to statistics in college, honestly.

10×23= 230
Reducing by 9/25 leaves you with 16/25 of the original 230 sq ft
230 multiplied by the decimal (16/25=0.64)
230 × 0.64 = 147.2 sq ft
Sarcastic Nacho nerd
That is all true, but the question is: what are the new dimensions of his patio (i.e., reduce one or both dimensions so that the resulting square footage is 147.2, though in fact it isn't necessary to calculate the area at any point). There are a number of solutions of course, but the easy one is to reduce the 10' dimension by 9/25 (Jack conveniently provided this as 36%) to 6.4'. To verify, 6.4 * 23 = 147.2.
Wait......what

That and Gregory needs to chill the fuck out with his patio
@@ServantofBaal ya imagine going "wow this deck is nice but imagine if it was 9/25ths smaller!"
It's these kinds of math problems I hate, there are far more simpler ways of doing basic things, like they said, if you want to put a little garden on your patio, just outline where you want it or like Jeremy said from the fence to the walkway, you don't have to sit there with a calculator in one hand and a pile of mathematics books next to you to figure out how big you want it.
Your lucky, my dad had me do the work all by myself...there were times I stayed till 12 or 1 in the morning doing fucking homework.
10 * 23 = 230 (Original area of patio)
230 * (9/25) = Area of new garden
230 * 0.36 (simplified) = 82.8 (area of garden)
230 - 82.8 = 147.2 (new area of patio)
147.2 / 10 = 14.72 (divide new area by ONE of the old dimensions; 10 is the easiest)
10 and 14.72 are the new dimensions.
(should i post this on the original video?)
Shir0_1. I think the issue is in how the final shape is open ended. Your way makes most sense and would be expected, but by not defining that you’ll end up with a rectangle (utilising one of the older dimensions) there’s technically infinite answers...
i think both sides would actually be 3/5ths the size. if you increase the length of a side by a scale of 2, the area would increase by 2^2 or 4, so if we reduce the size by 9/25ths then we reduce the length of the sides by 3/5ths, which is 5.4 x 13.8, which maintains the original ratio too
18.4 x 8. Reduce each side by 20%
Using 100m2 as an example (10m x 10m). 100m2 reduce by 9/25 or 36% or 0.36. 100 x 0.36 = 36. So 100 - 36 = 64. 100m2 reduced by 36% = 64m2. 64m2 would be 8m x 8m. So the sides have gone from 10m to 8m which is a reduction of 20% on each side. So doing the same for 23m x 10m (reduce 20% each side) is 18.4m x 8m. New area is 147.2m2. Keeps same aspect ratio too.
@@manamotuhake6704 you're right, i misheard the question. that means it is 16/25ths of its original size which fits with the sides being 4/5ths the size
Yes, but before calculating the dimensions, mention everything that AsianGamer Kenji said, and also mention that Greg Miller's friend scaled the entire shape to maintain the original ratio.

Imagine getting college credit in the 7th grade. That wasn't an option for me 8 years ago when I was in middle school.
well geoff also referred to the dimensions of the patio as the diameter, so the details are kinda shaky
HazelReys they existed 8 years ago as well...
AP isn't for college credit. That's dual credit or dual enrollment. To be fair most AP classes are dual enrollment though.

Can I just say that I love Millie? She's such a good kid despite everything around her 😂
It might also be because of everything around her too.
It's because she has good parents that talk to her and respect her and value her opinion that she's a good kid. They never spoke down to Millie because she was a kid or made her feel like she couldn't trust or depend on them. Yeah, you have Geoff that acts and talks a certain way but he's always loved the shit out of Millie and has always made time for her. Same with Griffon.

Annabeth Norse I never showed my work in class. But I was also the highest scoring student in the class when it came to questions where I didn't have to show my work, so my teachers kinda let it happen. Especially when we'd go over questions individually and I'd explain my line of thinking.
That moment when you realize Millie has like 7 dad's XD
I'm so jelly of Millie's and Geoff's relationship. What a cool father daughter thing they have going on.
I couldn’t stop laughing at Jeremy trying to figure out the question.
What's the final shape? Is it a square? A rectangle? Hell, it could even be a circle garden in the patio, if we're going by Jeremy's "diameter" thought.
A way to get around that would be to say, "Assume that the new garden is (insert new shape), since final shape and ratios aren't given in the question." If the teacher argues about it, say that this is the sort of shit mathematical modellers do all the time in the real world (if they really want examples, mention the SIR model in epidemic population modelling where the first assumption made is that there are no births or deaths in the population. It's from undergrad maths, look it up in wikipedia if you're interested).
Still, it's yet another reason why showing the working is so important, because it's also where you can say, "Hey, teacher, you didn't give us enough fucking information to properly answer the question, because now there are technically an infinite number of answers..."
This needs to be a top comment. The the reason everyone is so confused because it doesn't tell you what the final shape of the deck should be.
@@happynappy100 It was 10 by 23 feet, it was definitely a rectangle...
@@micky2594 except the question is to reduce the area by 9/25ths, do you reduce the length and width by an equal amount or do you just reduce the length/width?
by reducing the area by 9/25ths, you are left with 147.2 square feet of patio, but with no dimensions or ratio for length x width to place it into. so for this question it could be 23 feet by 6.4 feet, 10 feet by 14.72 feet, or 8 feet by 18.4 feet. you can even get it to 12 feet by 12.26666(recurring)7 feet, which is damn close to a circle.
it's a pretty garbage question when there isn't even a definite answer
@@michaelsheedy850 But the question didn't ask for the new dimensions of the perimeter, just what the new area of his patio is. The answer is 82.8. It is a really ugly answer, if you will, that wouldn't logically make sense in a real build if you were trying to do the problem for an architecture class.
But it isn't for an architecture class. It's for a 7th grade class where what you're supposed to learn is how to take the area of something (L x W in this case) and find a percentage of the area by using multiplication and then division.
The guys made it way more complicated by trying to figure out the length and width of the new area, but that wasn't asked for. When you try and add that in the entire problem feels illogical and too difficult to answer.
Edit: Actually I got the numbers backwards. The are for his greenery is 82.8 feet so his patio area is 147.2 feet. Fucked that bit up, but the rest of it still stands in that it is a question checking the ability to figure out fractions of larger numbers.
It does ask for the new dimensions; see 7:01

@Nathan-DTS don't dis on matrices! Believe me, they are one of the few helpful things you will get out of those high level math courses
Noa Mayer I remember taking Trigonometry in 9th grade and that shit was impossible. I basically clocked out for the entire middle portion of the course. I remember my teacher making us use proofs for everything. When she started asking for us to prove why 2+2=4 using trigonometry proofs, I questioned her in the middle of class and asked her, “What is the point of this? Why do we need to learn this?” She answered with the typical BS line that ‘you will use proofs in the real world.’ I then asked her to give me an actual, real world example of when proofs are used and that is when she told me I could either sit down or have detention. That threat gave me my answer. I ended up going from an ‘A’ to a ‘C’ in that class. And while some might see it as a retaliation by the teacher for embarrassing her, I did kind of earn it. Like I said, I clocked out for the middle section. Anytime proofs came up, I skipped them.
If I remember correctly, trigonometry and proofs are lead up to Pre-Calculus. Since you just finished Calculus 3, maybe you can finally answer my decades old question, what are the real world applications for proofs? I took precal at my Middle College High School, where we were able to take college courses as our HS classes and Calc in college and I have never seen proofs since 9th grade.

Scrolling through the comments looking at people's answers to the problem, and they're all different. lol
Spishie for the patio problem there can be multiple answers because of the nature of the problem. Since you are reducing the area by 9/25, one quick way of getting the dimensions of the new patio is by multiplying either dimension by 16/25 (obtained from 1-9/25) this gets you the desired area as well as the dimensions in only a few steps. If there were conditions such as the ratio of the sides had to stay the same, then multiply the two dimensions by 4/5 and you will find the new dimensions that still satisfy the same area.
I would have to look at these other comments in order to check if each of them are correct but there can be an infinite amount of “correct” answers but they would seem wrong because of the context given.
@@OneHawkyBoi Wouldn't you multiply the two dimensions by 3/5?
grace calis That would be the case if we were reducing “to” 9/25 of the original area. The question is calling for a reduction (think subtraction) of 9/25 “from” the original area. This means the remaining area is actually 16/25 of the initial. I hope this helps.

@@sherlockhooves574 and while that's great and all, as a person who struggles with math, word problems that drown the issue in unnecessary details caused me to fail several exams because it is legitimately difficult for me to determine what i'm supposed to do.

the unnecessary detail doesn't help in answering the question, applied math should never have stupid detail because you're trying to solve practical problems using it, not nonsense hypotheticals like "a man walks into a store and buys 60 watermelons..."
if you're in a higher level math course for all those mathematicians and physicists, have the overly complex questions. but how about you tone it down for us idiots that can't keep pace, mmm?

I was getting F's and D's and C's in high school, yet in college I have not failed a single math test. I don't think that has anything to do with me getting better at math, either. I just thing that I got lucky and got teachers who could actually explain things correctly.
Why do the grades go A B C D and F, why is there no E? In my elementary school my teachers gave us numbers, 1 was either good or bad and 4 was the other, I don't remember, it was about 12 years ago, and the school I went to briefly (about 14 months) had you check your own work, and for homeschool I just left it out for my mom to check when I was done with it.
In the future, math problems will all be done by AI technology, so imagine the next generation will just ask their smartphones or the Alexa 3000's to do it for them. XD
What kind of math did you do? This is totally legitimate math.
Ok so will the teacher accept ANY possible dimensions? Because if the answer is just asking for the dimensions, then the correct answer is EVERY possible combination of dimensions that will give an area of 82.8 feet.
Any possible combination that will give an area of 147.2 feet*
No they won’t because they’re asking for dimensions of a square, which means you can only cut either the height or width. You’re almost there, 230-82.8 gives you the new patio area 147.2. Then you have to decide which dimension you’re cutting into, length or width. If length, 147.2/10 = 14.72, therefore new dimensions are 14.72x10. If width, 147.2/23 = 6.4, so 23x6.4 are new dimensions.
The G Bear They’re not asking for the dimensions of a square as the base and height are different, it’d be a rectangle.
the way geoff reacted to his daughter laughing at 69 is so cute aww he looked so happy
Completely off topic to the entire video but I am mesmerised at how good Geoff looks now. Very handsome face
