  • This is a short, animated visual proof demonstrating how to compute the tangents of Pi/8 (22.5 degrees) and 3Pi/8 (67.5 degrees).

    you could further simplify the second one into sqrt2+1

      Understand. Unfortunately some times I just can’t find the time and with diagrams like this I’m not sure what speaking would add. The fun of this one to me is thinking through wholly all the angles and sides are what they are. But I take your point. Thanks!

    We can also get sin and cos from this diagram, tho they are not as neat as they involve nested square roots.

    I also have also used an octagon before to prove tan(67.5°), and my classmate from last school year extended that to tan(75°) using a dodecagon.
    I have a post with around 75 upvoted on r/mathematics showing this (I am u/InspiratorAG112). I will try to put the post ID in the replies (since UA-cam disallows URLs in comments by default).

    your videos are pretty awesome. seeing that all these proofs visually makes mathematics more enjoyable and sensible. however I must add that you should choose the colors better, I didn't manage to see the isosceles triangle at my first watch. also that would be nice if you could add voice narration to explain what is going on, that will make videos easier for audience

    • @MathVisualProofs
      @MathVisualProofs  Рік тому

      Thanks. I worked hard to find a color schemed that should be accessible (davidmathlogic.com/colorblind/#%23332288-%23117733-%2344AA99-%2388CCEE-%23DDCC77-%23CC6677-%23AA4499-%23882255). I get that the blue in this one isn't quite as good of a contrast on the white. I also appreciate that you would prefer narration. I do wordless versions less than half the time, but for certain videos, like this one, I am not sure what narration can add... as the goal might be to keep people thinking about why each step works and how they might get similar results :) Also, hard to find narration time.

      I actually have one, somewhat different from what the uploader linked (using a sum of sines), on an r/mathematics post titled: "Tangents of 67.5° and 75° obtained with polygons."
