	Two circles		2017-08-13
		From Ladines: Find the equation of the circle passing through points of intersections of circles x²+y²=4y and x²+y²=2x and the center is on line y=2 Answered by Penny Nom.
	The intersection of planes		2004-09-07
		From Joshua: I was wondering about the intersection of planes. Can planes intersect? Answered by Penny Nom.
	The intersection of two graphs		2004-07-28
		From JJ: Is there a way to find the intersections of these graphs algebraically? x^2 + y = 4 & 2x - y = 1 I got (1.45, 1.9) and (-3.45, -7.9) with a graphing calculator. AND THESE... y = 3.29x & y = 5.5(x^0.5)+ 10000 I got x at 3133 with a graphing calculator. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Squares in a rectangle		2003-10-21
		From Raj: Draw a rectangle with sides of 3 and 4. Divide the sides into 3 and 4 equal parts respectively. Draw squares joining the points on the sides of the rectangle. You will have 12 small squares inside the 3 x 4 rectangle. If you draw a diagonal of the rectangle, it will intersect 6 of the the 12 smaller squares. Similarly, if you have a 4 x 10 rectangle, the diagonal would intersect 12 of the 40 squares inside the rectangle. Is there an algebric equation that determines the number of squares that will be intersected by the diagonal of a rectangle? Answered by Chris Fisher.
	Diagonals in a polygon		2002-04-10
		From Murray: If you have a regular polygon with n sides and you draw all (n-3)n/2 diagonals how many intersection will they form with each other and how many sections will they devide the polygon into. Answered by Caude Tardif and Chris Fisher.
	If you conect all the vertices of a regular n-gon...		2002-04-01
		From Murray: If you conect all the vertices of a regular n-gon with lines you will have (n-3)(n/2) lines inside the polygon. I want to find out how many sections these lines divide the polygon into and how many intersections they have with each other. Answered by Claude Tardif.
	Dividing a Circle		1999-04-12
		From Mike Kenedy: I am having trouble with a homework question for bonus marks. A Circle is continually divided by lines that do not intersect the center so that they produce the most pieces of circle. For example 1 line divides the circle into 2. 2 into 4. 3, however into 7. 4 into11 5 into 16 6 into 22 7 into 29 8 into 37 etc... I am stumped and cannot figure out the equation, though I'm sure it involves squares. Can you help? Answered by Penny Nom.
	How many intersections?		1997-10-08
		From James: (a) A collection of eight points, no three collinear. If lines are drawn between each pair of these points, how many points of intersection would there be? (b) what would your answer have been in part (a) if there had been n points to start with? Answered by Chris Fisher.
