Yeah and it's an Egyptian 3-4-5 triangle, apparently famous to boot. I used to be sure he got on some weird social commentary kick, but now I'm thinking he may just be a pedantic schmuck trying to show off how much history he's read. Either way, annoying as it just stands out like a sore thumb when compared to the quality problems and explanations he presents (this problem is one of the best I've seen recently -- really cute problem).
You guys beat me to it. At 4:22, he refers to the Gougu Theorem and the "Egyptian" 3-4-5 Triangle in the same sentence. Now, if the Chinese proved the theorem first, I'm pretty sure they would have found the 3-4-5 and all those other "Gouguian" Triples, so let's at least be consistent on which nationality gets the credit.

I'd already watched the solution some 5 odd months back but didn't remember it now. On relooking the problem, I solved it little differently but interesting way which I'd love to share here. Consider 'x' to be the tangent length of smaller circle at upper left. Then Radius of same smaller circle at upper left = x Chord length (in two circles) = 6, so half chord length = Vertical distance between centre of two circles = 3 Then, AB = Tangent length + 3 + Radius of larger circle at lower right Radius of larger circle at lower right = 5 - x Then, Distance of line joining centre of two circles = x + 5 - x = 5 Vertical distance between centre of two circles = 3 So by Pythagoras Theorem, Horizontal distance between centre of two circles = 4 So, BC = Tangent length of smaller circle + Horizontal distance between centre of two circles + Radius of larger circle BC = x + 4 + (5 - x) = 9 units

Written between 2000 and 1786 BC, the Middle Kingdom Egyptian Berlin Papyrus 6619 includes a problem whose solution is the Pythagorean triple 6:8:10, but the problem does not mention a triangle. The Mesopotamian tablet Plimpton 322, written between 1790 and 1750 BC during the reign of Hammurabi the Great, contains many entries closely related to Pythagorean triples. (Source : Wikipedia)
I drew it in Fusion360 and added a couple of dimensions for the AB and EF lines, then added tangency constraints for the circles and a vertical constraint on the EF line and it all snapped into place giving the BC length of 9 :-)
Let 𝑟 be the radius of the upper circle and 𝑅 the radius of the bottom circle. Using the bottom circle as a scaled up unit circle, the point where the two circles touch will have the coordinates (𝑅 cos 𝜃, 𝑅 sin 𝜃). This means that the combined length of the vertical chords is 2𝑅 |sin 𝜃| + 2𝑟 |sin 𝜃| = 6, which gives us 𝑅 + 𝑟 = 3 ∕ |sin 𝜃|. Similarly, the height of the rectangle is 𝑟 + 𝑟 |sin 𝜃| + 𝑅 + 𝑅 |sin 𝜃| = 8 ⇒ 𝑅 + 𝑟 = 8 ∕ (1 + |sin 𝜃|) Thus, 3 ∕ |sin 𝜃| = 8 ∕ (1 + |sin 𝜃|) ⇒ |sin 𝜃| = 3 ∕ 5 Also, |cos 𝜃| = √(1 − |sin 𝜃|²) = 4 ∕ 5 Finally, the width of the rectangle is 𝐴𝐵 = 𝑟 + 𝑟 |cos 𝜃| + 𝑅 + 𝑅 |cos 𝜃| = (𝑟 + 𝑅)(1 + |cos 𝜃|) = (𝑟 + 𝑅)(1 + 4 ∕ 5) = 9 ∕ 5(𝑅 + 𝑟) = 9 ∕ 5(3 ∕ |sin 𝜃|) = 9 ∕ 5(3 ∕ (3 ∕ 5)) = 9
I did it in a simpler way. Since he didn't specify the radii of the two circles, I assumed that EF would always be 6 no matter the radii. So I just set the radius of the first one to 0. That means the second circle passes through point B and a point P between A and B where BP is 6 (it's coincident with EF) and AP is 2. From there you get the diameter of the circle to be 10 from symmetry. So the radius (5) plus the distance of the center to the chord BP (4) is equal to BC.
Nice idea! You are assuming that EF is independent of the radii of the two circles in order for this result to work, whereas he proved that it was independent while calculating the value.

There is a much easier way to solve this by using a specific example rather than generic use case. Since the relation should hold up for any two circles with those properties, assume those circles to have the same radius (r). Now it is clear that the vertical distance between the centers of the circles is = 8 - 2r = half of the length EF (by symmetry) = 6 / 2 = 3 This gives r = 2.5 Now consider the (horizontal-vertical) right triangle with the hypotenuse between the two centers. The hypotenuse is clearly = 2r = 5 Vertical distance computed before was 8 - 2r = 3 By Pythagoras, the horizontal distance between the two centers (lets call it x) = 4 The side BC = r + x + r = 2.5 + 4 + 2.5 = 9
Solved it thinking about the problem in terms of trigonometry. (r + R)(sin B) = 6 (using the chord) and (r+R)(sin B) = 8 (using the side of the rectangle). From those two, we know that sin B = 3/5 and r + R = 5. The other side of the rectangle is (r + R) (1 + cos B) = 5(1 + 4/5) = 9. Pretty much the same thing as the video solution, but thinking about the problem in trigonometry.
I solved the problem similarly, but introduced the angle a at ADB and z:=BC. Then: 2*(x+y)*sin(a)=6 and x+y+(x+y)*sin(a)=8 -> x+y=5. z=x+x*cos(a)+y+y*cos(a)=5+5*cos(a) -> z-5=5*cos(a) square the last and first equation, and add them together: (z-5)^2+3^2=(5*sin(a))^2+(5*cos(a))^2=5^2. Then solve for z - which comes out to 9.
I did also observed the sizes of the two circles is irrelevant. Therefore, I solved the puzzle assuming both circles have the same size (radius of 2.5). Symmetry will ease the solution when both circles have the same size. By the way, EF will have a maximum size of 6.627416998 . That is, there will be no solution of EF happened to be 6.7 instead of 6.
Wouldn't the maximum height of EF given any value of BC be 8? That's when both circles are underneath eachother, tangent to the opposite sides, with a radius of 2 and a length BC of 4, with EF cleanly dividing the rectangle lengthwise.
Nice, I was able to solve this with a slightly different equation: 2xsin(Θ)+2ysin(Θ)=6 x+xsin(Θ)+y+ysin(Θ)=8 x+xcos(Θ)+y+ycos(Θ)=? Divide first equation by 2 to get: xsin(Θ)+ysin(Θ)=3 If you subtract the above from the 2nd equation you will see terms cancel out: x+y+=5 Then factor out sin(Θ): (x+y) sin(Θ)=3 Plugging the known sum gives us: 5 sin(Θ)=3, thus: sin(Θ)=3/5 Knowing that sin is opposite/hypotenuse ratio, we can plug 5 for hypotenuse and 3 for a side of a triangle. This triangle starts to look familiar, in fact it is a Pythagorean triangle, so the other side is 4, which gives us: cos(Θ)=4/5 Now we can solve the third equation by plugging the known terms: x+xcos(Θ)+y+ycos(Θ) = (x+y) + (x+y)cos(Θ) 5 + 5 * 4/5 = 9 Anyone else used trigonometry and a system of equations like I did?

The 3-4-5 triangle is only because the given lengths are 6 and 8. When you start with different lengths or generalize, you don't always get a 3-4-5 triangle; but you always do get a right triangle.
Yea, I got this one right! I didn't need the results about the perpendicular bisectors or the tangent circles - just used some basic trigonometry as well as Cartesian coordinates, but otherwise my method was basically the same as the one shown. I didn't catch that the result didn't depend on the radii of the circles though.
@@dliu6450 Solved without writing anything down as follows. 2(x+y)sinA=6 or (x+y)sinA=3. (x+y)(1+sinA)=8. This yields x+y=5 and sinA=3/5. Then cosA=4/5 and BC=(x+y)(1+cosA)=5(1+4/5)=9.

With contents known much earlier, but in surviving texts dating from roughly the 100 years before common era, the Chinese text Zhoubi Suanjing (The Arithmetical Classic of the Gnomom) gives a reasoning for the Pythagorean theorem for the (3, 4, 5) triangle-in China it is called the "Gougu theorem" In India, the Baudhayana Shulba Sutra, the dates of which are given variously as between the 800 years before common era contains a list of Pythagorean triples and a statement of the Pythagorean theorem, both in the special case of the isosceles right triangle and in the general case, as does the Apastamba Shulba Sutra (c. 600 BC). Van der Waerden believed that this material "was certainly based on earlier traditions". Carl Boyer states that the Pythagorean theorem in the Śulba-sũtram may have been influenced by ancient Mesopotamian math, but there is no conclusive evidence in favor or opposition of this possibility.

Consider 'x' to be the tangent length of smaller circle at upper left.
Then Radius of same smaller circle at upper left
= x
Chord length (in two circles) = 6, so half chord length = Vertical distance between centre of two circles = 3
Then,
AB = Tangent length + 3 + Radius of larger circle at lower right
Radius of larger circle at lower right = 5 - x
Then,
Distance of line joining centre of two circles
= x + 5 - x = 5
Vertical distance between centre of two circles = 3
So by Pythagoras Theorem,
Horizontal distance between centre of two circles = 4
So,
BC = Tangent length of smaller circle + Horizontal distance between centre of two circles + Radius of larger circle
BC = x + 4 + (5 - x)
= 9 units
Am I the only one who at first thought it is a square 😅
Same here 😂

Gougu theorem: you are weak
Pythagoras theorem: i'm you
Let 𝑟 be the radius of the upper circle and 𝑅 the radius of the bottom circle.
Using the bottom circle as a scaled up unit circle, the point where the two circles touch will have the coordinates (𝑅 cos 𝜃, 𝑅 sin 𝜃).
This means that the combined length of the vertical chords is 2𝑅 |sin 𝜃| + 2𝑟 |sin 𝜃| = 6, which gives us 𝑅 + 𝑟 = 3 ∕ |sin 𝜃|.
Similarly, the height of the rectangle is 𝑟 + 𝑟 |sin 𝜃| + 𝑅 + 𝑅 |sin 𝜃| = 8 ⇒ 𝑅 + 𝑟 = 8 ∕ (1 + |sin 𝜃|)
Thus, 3 ∕ |sin 𝜃| = 8 ∕ (1 + |sin 𝜃|) ⇒ |sin 𝜃| = 3 ∕ 5
Also, |cos 𝜃| = √(1 − |sin 𝜃|²) = 4 ∕ 5
Finally, the width of the rectangle is
𝐴𝐵 = 𝑟 + 𝑟 |cos 𝜃| + 𝑅 + 𝑅 |cos 𝜃|
= (𝑟 + 𝑅)(1 + |cos 𝜃|)
= (𝑟 + 𝑅)(1 + 4 ∕ 5)
= 9 ∕ 5(𝑅 + 𝑟)
= 9 ∕ 5(3 ∕ |sin 𝜃|)
= 9 ∕ 5(3 ∕ (3 ∕ 5))
= 9

Presh : Famous Egyptian 3-4-5 right triangle...
Pythagoras : Famous as Pythagorean triples !
There is a much easier way to solve this by using a specific example rather than generic use case. Since the relation should hold up for any two circles with those properties, assume those circles to have the same radius (r).
Now it is clear that the vertical distance between the centers of the circles is = 8 - 2r = half of the length EF (by symmetry) = 6 / 2 = 3
This gives r = 2.5
Now consider the (horizontal-vertical) right triangle with the hypotenuse between the two centers.
The hypotenuse is clearly = 2r = 5
Vertical distance computed before was 8 - 2r = 3
By Pythagoras, the horizontal distance between the two centers (lets call it x) = 4
The side BC = r + x + r = 2.5 + 4 + 2.5 = 9
Solved it thinking about the problem in terms of trigonometry. (r + R)(sin B) = 6 (using the chord) and (r+R)(sin B) = 8 (using the side of the rectangle). From those two, we know that sin B = 3/5 and r + R = 5. The other side of the rectangle is (r + R) (1 + cos B) = 5(1 + 4/5) = 9.
Pretty much the same thing as the video solution, but thinking about the problem in trigonometry.
Did exactly the same thing
Could you explain more your reasoning? It's plenty interesting!!!
Great job using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the problem!
What the heck is Pythagorean Therom
@@Zembie1lol😂
I solved the problem similarly, but introduced the angle a at ADB and z:=BC. Then:
2*(x+y)*sin(a)=6 and x+y+(x+y)*sin(a)=8 -> x+y=5.
z=x+x*cos(a)+y+y*cos(a)=5+5*cos(a) -> z-5=5*cos(a)
square the last and first equation, and add them together:
(z-5)^2+3^2=(5*sin(a))^2+(5*cos(a))^2=5^2. Then solve for z - which comes out to 9.
At 1:20 said that if EF = 6 then Bc = 9, how it is posible to you if value of the AB changes..? Could you please recorrect the video. 👍🤗
Might you r the best explainer , but you can understand what I am going to say

This problem was very unique
Love your videos
This is crazy i mean!!! Wow. I love the channel mind your decisions!
I wish my math class had had fun problems like this one occasionally.
Love your channel
Presh is kinda obsessed with Gougu right now.
With any luck, maybe the CCP will find a cure!
It's so entertaining and your voice is somehow lovely to hear ;(
I did also observed the sizes of the two circles is irrelevant. Therefore, I solved the puzzle assuming both circles have the same size (radius of 2.5). Symmetry will ease the solution when both circles have the same size. By the way, EF will have a maximum size of 6.627416998
. That is, there will be no solution of EF happened to be 6.7 instead of 6.
Wouldn't the maximum height of EF given any value of BC be 8?
That's when both circles are underneath eachother, tangent to the opposite sides, with a radius of 2 and a length BC of 4, with EF cleanly dividing the rectangle lengthwise.
Nice, I was able to solve this with a slightly different equation:
2xsin(Θ)+2ysin(Θ)=6
x+xsin(Θ)+y+ysin(Θ)=8
x+xcos(Θ)+y+ycos(Θ)=?
Divide first equation by 2 to get:
xsin(Θ)+ysin(Θ)=3
If you subtract the above from the 2nd equation you will see terms cancel out:
x+y+=5
Then factor out sin(Θ):
(x+y) sin(Θ)=3
Plugging the known sum gives us:
5 sin(Θ)=3, thus:
sin(Θ)=3/5
Knowing that sin is opposite/hypotenuse ratio, we can plug 5 for hypotenuse and 3 for a side of a triangle.
This triangle starts to look familiar, in fact it is a Pythagorean triangle, so the other side is 4, which gives us:
cos(Θ)=4/5
Now we can solve the third equation by plugging the known terms:
x+xcos(Θ)+y+ycos(Θ) = (x+y) + (x+y)cos(Θ)
5 + 5 * 4/5 = 9
Anyone else used trigonometry and a system of equations like I did?
Great video. All the videos in this channel are great . thanks for great videos

excellent.... however please note that ancient India has very rich mathematical treasure more ancient than Pyramid era... in this treasure 3,4,5 units of right triangle is mentioned very often.
Also the formula will be: the square root of b^2+ab plus b-a/2 (b is the length of AB while a is the length of EF)
Nice video editing...

If H is the height of the rectangle (given as 8), and L is the sum of the two chords (given as 6); then the general formula for W (Width of rectangle) is W=H-L/2+sqrt (H^2-H*L)

The 3-4-5 triangle is only because the given lengths are 6 and 8. When you start with different lengths or generalize, you don't always get a 3-4-5 triangle; but you always do get a right triangle.
And BC will be constant, assuming your AB and EF are possible pairs.

It's amazing, thank you sir .
Yea, I got this one right! I didn't need the results about the perpendicular bisectors or the tangent circles - just used some basic trigonometry as well as Cartesian coordinates, but otherwise my method was basically the same as the one shown. I didn't catch that the result didn't depend on the radii of the circles though.
How to do it with trig? Could you give me some hints
@@dliu6450 Solved without writing anything down as follows. 2(x+y)sinA=6 or (x+y)sinA=3. (x+y)(1+sinA)=8. This yields x+y=5 and sinA=3/5. Then cosA=4/5 and BC=(x+y)(1+cosA)=5(1+4/5)=9.
Thanks sir ,what a nice solution I never thought solve it types easy manners

Brilliant question. Brilliant designer.
Really loved this question and the solution. The animation made it even more interesting. Curious to know which software you use to animate. Is it all Keynote/PowerPoint? That would be too messy to manage, esp last part of the video with circles varying in sizes and text moving along with it. Is there a better way to manage this? Absolutely loved how you did it! Good work!
Maybe is geogebra. You have it on all sistems (ios, android... windows)at www.geogebra.org

My take away is that x+y is always the same constant no matter what size the circles are. In other words the radii of two circle add up to a constant.

Shows you don't need fancy things to have great problems
With contents known much earlier, but in surviving texts dating from roughly the 100 years before common era, the Chinese text Zhoubi Suanjing (The Arithmetical Classic of the Gnomom) gives a reasoning for the Pythagorean theorem for the (3, 4, 5) triangle-in China it is called the "Gougu theorem"
In India, the Baudhayana Shulba Sutra, the dates of which are given variously as between the 800 years before common era contains a list of Pythagorean triples and a statement of the Pythagorean theorem, both in the special case of the isosceles right triangle and in the general case, as does the Apastamba Shulba Sutra (c. 600 BC). Van der Waerden believed that this material "was certainly based on earlier traditions". Carl Boyer states that the Pythagorean theorem in the Śulba-sũtram may have been influenced by ancient Mesopotamian math, but there is no conclusive evidence in favor or opposition of this possibility.
THEN WHY YOU CALLED PYTHAGORAS THEORAM AS GONGU; MENTION IT AS BAUDHAYANA THEORAM
