Arc length and Chord length 2010-03-13
From Darryl:
Is there a formula to determine the chord length of an arc knowing only the arc length and the arc depth (sagitta)? I know you can't find the radius with only these two inputs, but can you find the chord length?
Answered by Harley Weston.
Cooling 2010-03-07

Find the central angle 2009-08-18
From Larissa:
In a circle, the length of a chord AB is 4 cm and the length of the arc AB is 5 cm. Find the central angle theta, in radians, correct to four decimal places. Then give the answer to the nearest degree. I think I'm supposed to use Newton's method, but am not sure how to start with this problem.

Estimate the cube root of 270 2008-03-11
From Tom:
(a) By plotting suitable graphs, estimate to one decimal place the cube root of 270.
(b) With reference to your answer to part (a), use 8 iterations of a Bisection Search to refine your estimate. Use the nearest whole numbers either side of your estimate from part (a) as starting values.
(c) Using either of your starting values from part (b) as first guess, use the Newton-Raphson method to find the true value of the root (to 6 decimal places). Repeat using the other starting value from part (b) and compare the two results.

The area of a sector and a triangle 2006-06-23
From Howard:
I thought of the following problem which is similar but much simpler than the tethered goat problem: What is the angle(it is more illustrative in degrees)of arc of a unit circle so that the area between the chord it subtends and the arc length is equal to the area of the triangle with opposite side the subtended chord.
Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Penny Nom.
The interior angles of a right triangle 2006-05-20
From Greg:
I am wondering if there is a way to figure out the interior angles of a right triangle if we know ONLY the side lengths, and the trick is, we CANNOT use arctangent!

Square roots and inequalities 2004-10-25
From Waheed:
Q1. What is the simplest way of finding a square root of any number using just a pen and paper? (I am asking this question because I browsed a few sites a didn't find any method that is simpler than the one I use. so I am just curious.)

Q2. Is it possible that you take an equation and turn it into an inequality by performing same mathematical operations on both sides?

Newton's binomial theorem 2003-08-30
From William:
According to page 126 of Murtha & Willard's "Statistics and Calculus" (Prentice-Hall, 1973), Newton's binomial theorem can proved inductively. I suppose that was his method, which I would like to see.
