@@TibRibno, it's high school geometry with a creative twist. I'm a high school math teacher who has taught geometry. These problems require a bit of creativity (adding auxiliary lines and a semicircle) and then applying the theorems learned in h.s geometry (not middle school). I gave these kind of problems to my Honors Geometry classes as extra credit. Of course, I would teach similar problems in class. The exact creative problems I taught were on the exams, but not as extra credit. I didn't bother teaching problems Luke this in my general (non honors) because I knew I would end up losing their attention. They had enough of a challenge just learning new geometry concepts not learned on middle school.
The great/frustrating thing about geometry is, if you can't think of a clever solution, you can always just turn it into a bunch of vector equations and solve it that way. It won't be as elegant as the easier "intended" solution, but not all real world problems have an easy solutions, so in some cases, you're better off just not trying to look for an elegant way to do it, and just plugging everything into vectors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In this case, you'd do that by solving the position of the bottom most corner (C), and the two corners that intersect the circumference (A and B). C•ĵ=0, |B-C|²=4|A-C|², |A|²=|B|²=1, then when you find all 3, just compute ((A-C)×(B-C))•k, or just 2|A-C|², or just |B-C|²/4. Still, I like your method better. :)
That's not a great/frustrating thing about geometry. Because it is NOT a thing about geometry. We translate things from geometry to algebra, and from algebra to geometry. But simple things can get very complicated.
@@barisdogru6437 Geometry is NOT the study of life. That would be Biology. And even if Geometry was the study of life, this wouldn't imply there are easy and hard ways to the same solution. That's just a conjecture.
Very cool problem! I did it with coordinate geometry. Three of the corners of the rectangle are at (-s,s), (0,s), and (s,0). The circle has equation (x-h)² + (y-k)² = 25 and goes through the three listed points. Therefore you get three equations with three unknowns: (s-h)² + k² = 25 (s+h)² + (s-k)² = 25 h² + (s-k)² = 25 These are easy to solve by elimination. You get s = √10, and so area = 20.
I used coordinates as well. And I even have solved the task just in mind. Now I'm writing that my solution: I placed coordinates another way. These were (0;0), (-1;0) (1;1). So I selected a 1 to be "x" of the task. Having (a,b) as a circle center, that leads to: a^2 + b^2 =rr (a+1)^2 +b^2 =r^2 (a-1)^2 +(b-1)=r^2 The first and the second give a=-0.5 After using of "a" in the first and third equation, that leads to: 2.25 + (b-1)^2 = 0.25 + bb 2 -2b +1=0, b=1.5 So r=√2.5 But in task's units, the radius is equal to 5. So here's a proportion x/1 = 5/√2.5. x=5/5√0.1=5√0.1/0.5=10√0.1=√10
Cool! I've done about 10 of these now and it's a blast having all of this coming back to me. I've only figured out 2 of them, but I'm 67, so I'm feeling a bit cocky.

Found it in an easier way by finding the slant of the rectangle then define 1 smaller edge as x. Then you can pass a line equal to x in the middle of the rectangle cutting it into 2 squares then you will see a right triangle with x, x/2 and 5sqrt(2)/2. Then use Pythagorean theorem: x^2 + (x/2)^2 = (5sqrt(2)/2)^2 => x^2 = 10 Area = x*(x+x) = x*2x = 2x^2 = 2*10 = 20 This is briefly explained so sorry if it’s unclear what I did.
I struggled with this a bit until I realized that the 3 points of contact with the circle define it, and thus its radius. That the lower left corner is coincident with the diameter chord is irrelevant and a distraction and doesn't affect the answer. I plotted the 3 points on the x-y plane at (-x, x), (0, x), and (x,0) and solved the simultaneous equations for the radius r. With r=5, the area 2x^2 is then 20.
Lovely solution. I approached it by drawing a coordinate system aligned with the rectangle. I gave the rectangle's vertices the coordinates (0,0), (0,2a), (4a,2a), and (4a,0). We know that the circle passes through (0,2a), (2a,2a), and (4a,0). The first two of these have perpendicular bisector x=a, while the last two of these have perpendicular bisector x-y=2a. These lines meet at (a,-a), which must therefore be the center of the circle. Now pick any of the three points of contact; its distance from that center is a*sqrt(10) by the Pythagorean Theorem, which must match the radius of 5. Therefore 10a^2=25, so 2a^2=5, so 8a^2=20. That's the area.
1:36 thank you for not losing me there. I'm not smart, but I love to learn to some degree. It really keeps my attention when you make every explanation visible and not imaginative. Thank you sir, I wish I had you as my math teacher.
There is an easier solution for this, draw the diagonal line in the rectangle, connect r on both end of the diagonal line, draw a perpendicular line on the diagonal line (it must be at the exact half of the diagonal line, since both end = r), then you can calculate 1/2 diagonal line = 5 * cos(45) And it's straight forward from here EDIT: the diagonal line in my reply = the green line in video
This is my solution: If we extend the longer sides of the rectangle, the intersection points with the circle create 2 parallel cords with lengths which can be shown to be x and 3x and distance between them x. For a cord we have that (c/2)^2+h^2=r^2, where c is the length of the cord, h is the distance from the center of the circle and r is the radius. So for our 2 cords we get that (x/2)^2+(h+x)^2=r^2 and (3x/2)^2+h^2=r^2, from where we find that h=x/2 and the area of the rectangle A=2x^2=(4/5)r^2 therefore A=20 if r=5.
There's a simpler way to do this without using all the complicated angle theorems. By symmetry you can extend the top right side of the rectangle down to create another chord of length x. You can then draw lines out from the centre of the circle that intersect each chord at right angles. This constructs a square with side length (3/2)x. Then we can create a right angle triangle with sides (3/2)x, (1/2)x and the radius (5) as the hypotenuse. Solving using Pythagoras' theorem gives x = sqrt(10). Hence the rectangular area is 20.
Again, this problem can be solved more easily with coordinate geometry. Choose the coordinate system such that its origin is at marked corner of the rectangle and the x and y axes contain the long and short edges of it respectively. Now we can write 3 equations describing the points that lie on the circle. Those points have the coordinates: (0,x), (x,x) and (2x,0). Lets denote the center of the circle as (u,v), then the system of equations is: u²+(x-v)² = r² (x-u)²+(x-v)² = r² (2x-u)²+v² = r². Solve it for x,u,v (r=10 is known): u = -v = r√10/10 x = r√10/20. From this, the blue area is: A = 2x² = r²/5 = 20.

If a and 2a are the lenghts of rectangle, tracing the other segment from middle upper side to left vertex of the rectangle we have 45º angles and between them it forms a 90º angle and both lines lenghts are √2a. Extend left segment below and the point where it touches the circle with the other vertex of base of rectangle, ir forms a rectangle triangle with a diameter of lenght 10 as hypotenuse. Draw the diagonal of blue rectangle from two points touching the circle, has lenght of √5a, then unite the below point of diameter at circle with most left point of rectangle touching the circle and it forms another 90º rectangle triangle. The left side of this one is a chord who is sustained by a 45º inscribed angle inside blue rectangle, and is sustained also by inscribed angle formed from the diameter and the other side so this one is also 45º, then the other angle must be 45º too so the left side lenght is also √5a and we have an isosceles rectangle triangle with 45º45º90º and sides √5a and hypotenuse 10. Finally by Pythagoras, (√2)(√5a)=10, a=√10, and Blue rectangle area = a(2a)=2a²=2(10)=20.
*I came up with a different answer...* As presented, the angle underneath the right side of the rectangle could be 0°. Since the angle beneath that side of the rectangle is not specified, I will assume that it is 0° (between the base of the rectangle and the base of the semicircle.) If I set the origin at the right end of the base of the semicircle, and, using polar coordinates, along with choosing to set the direction of positive "sweep" as clockwise, I can plot the polar equation... 10 cos θ ...to draw the entire semicircle, with θ going from 0° to 180°. I then want to find the angle θ at which point the following equation becomes true... 2 sin θ = cos θ . The following algebraic manipulations... ( sin θ / cos θ ) = 0.5 tan θ = 0.5 θ = tan⁻¹ (0.5) θ = 26.565051° ...reveal that... 2 sin θ = cos θ WHEN θ = 26.565051°. The sides of the rectangle are then given by... base = 10 cos θ base = 10 cos 26.565051° base = 8.944272 ...and... height = 10 sin θ height = 10 sin 26.565051° height = 4.472136 . Multiplying base times height gives the area of the blue rectangle, which is... base × height = ? 8.944272 × 4.472136 = 40 . So the *area of the blue rectangle is 40 .*
I was an honors math student (including geometry) back in the 1970's. For the life of me I don't ever recall learning the subtended angle on a circle thing. Ever. Head exploded. How exciting.
I got the right answer by finding the chord length of the diagonal of the rectangle, which is equal to 2*radius *(sin c/2), where c equal the subtended angle from the center of the circle, which is 90 degrees. *5* sin. 45= 7.07107. The short side and long side are in a ratio of 1:2. Inverse tan 1/2. = 26.565 degrees, so sin 26.565. * 7.07107= 3.16228 and cos 26.565 * 7.07107 = 6.32456. 3.16228* 6.32456= 20
Divide the rectangle in two blue squares with sides s. Each square has a symmetry line that goes through the center of the circle. (1/2*s)^2 + (3/2*s)^2 = 5^2 , so s^2 = 10 and the rectangle's area = 20.
These math and science videos have become a refuge for me since I've become repulsed by mainstream media, identity politics and such. I can feel my brain healing as I learn. You are gem in an insane world.

Take a thread cut it to the diameter of the circle, cut it into 10 equal pieces, use a piece to measure the length and width of the rectangle, multiply the length and width, you got Area of the rectangle.
because this rectangle have 90° in every corner we know where is centre of one of the lines(taller one), so we make line from it to another corner we get perfect 1/2 cube and because 2 sides are the same, 180-90=90(sum of 2 x corners) 90÷2=45
I knew there would be some solution using subtended angles but I was lazy. So I just dropped a perpendicular from the centre to the chord thus dividing the longer side of the rectangle into x and 3x and the shorter side is 2x. Then found its length as sqrt(25-x^2). Then used the Pythagoras theorem on the smaller triangle formed by joining the centre and the with the other end of the rectangle having side lengths 3x, sqrt(25-x^2)-2x, 5. Which gives x^2 = 2.5 and area = 8x^2 = 20.
My teenage self would've ripped off a piece of the test paper, measured the 10, compared it to any of the portions of the rectangle in the hopes they matched up, and made an educated guess based on the multiple choices provided.
make a full circle, flip the rectangle about the noted diameter, this acts to extend the small side till it hits the other edge of the circle, this gives us a right angle triangle with a corner on the edge so its hypotenuse is the diameter by basic circle theorems, so letting the small side be x we have x^2 + (3x)^2 = d^2 x^2 = d^2/10 so x is root(10) so the area is 20

i am eating my dinner while watching this, i am 29 year old father of 3 and this is entertaining for me... recalling back all those memories from school lol
I got the answer by extending the rectangle from 2x*x to 3x*x and placing that rectangle underneath, this new rectangle has all corners touching the circum and is centered within the circle, then making a r-angle tri w sides x, 3x, and 10 making the hypotenuse = 10 = sqrt((3x)^2*x^2) rearranging to find x = sqrt(10) then the blue rect area = sqrt(10) * 2*sqrt(10) = 2 (10)
solve it better connect the diagonal of the rectangle and let it =y then y^2=5x^2 then y=x*radical 5 now connect the points of intersection of the diagonals of the rect with the semi circle to the radius to form a right triangle then y^2=5^2+5^2 then y=5*radiacl 2 substitute in initial eq then x=radical 10 now area of rect =x*2x=2*10=20 u^2
I have a question, considering the short side as x and the longer as 2x, wouldnt x=10/3? Isn't the sum of the sides of the rectangle forced to be the same length as the diameter?
Hi Andy My guess is that you never did much technical drawing in high school? There is a geometric way which is much shorter and only involves the Pythag theorum. Consider the three points on the circumference. (The corner of the rectangle located on the diametral chord is just a magician's distraction as the diamertral chord can be drawn anywhere.) For some, it may be less confusing just to delete the diametral chord and draw the full circle and reorientate the rectangle so that the long side is horizontal. From geometry the center of any circle lies on the perpendicular bisector of any chord. Let the short side of the rectangle be X and the long side 2X. If these bisectors are drawn the angles and lengths are simple as they are all 45 degrees. From observation the centre of the circle lies X/2 past the rectangle's long side along to the intersection of the two perpendicular disectors. From here, use Pythag to calculate the radius in terms of X. The problem just falls out after that. Cheers

Yep, you are really awesome. It is all about perspective, just rotate the coordinate system and make the right observations.

(a+1)^2 +b^2 =r^2
(a-1)^2 +(b-1)=r^2
The first and the second give a=-0.5
After using of "a" in the first and third equation, that leads to:
2.25 + (b-1)^2 = 0.25 + bb
2 -2b +1=0, b=1.5
So r=√2.5
But in task's units, the radius is equal to 5. So here's a proportion x/1 = 5/√2.5.

Nice, just need to remember that they perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center
This is my solution: If we extend the longer sides of the rectangle, the intersection points with the circle create 2 parallel cords with lengths which can be shown to be x and 3x and distance between them x. For a cord we have that (c/2)^2+h^2=r^2, where c is the length of the cord, h is the distance from the center of the circle and r is the radius. So for our 2 cords we get that (x/2)^2+(h+x)^2=r^2 and (3x/2)^2+h^2=r^2, from where we find that h=x/2 and the area of the rectangle A=2x^2=(4/5)r^2 therefore A=20 if r=5.

There's a simpler way to do this without using all the complicated angle theorems.
By symmetry you can extend the top right side of the rectangle down to create another chord of length x. You can then draw lines out from the centre of the circle that intersect each chord at right angles. This constructs a square with side length (3/2)x. Then we can create a right angle triangle with sides (3/2)x, (1/2)x and the radius (5) as the hypotenuse. Solving using Pythagoras' theorem gives x = sqrt(10). Hence the rectangular area is 20.

As presented, the angle underneath the right side of the rectangle could be 0°. Since the angle beneath that side of the rectangle is not specified, I will assume that it is 0° (between the base of the rectangle and the base of the semicircle.) If I set the origin at the right end of the base of the semicircle, and, using polar coordinates, along with choosing to set the direction of positive "sweep" as clockwise, I can plot the polar equation...
10 cos θ
...to draw the entire semicircle, with θ going from 0° to 180°. I then want to find the angle θ at which point the following equation becomes true...
2 sin θ = cos θ .
The following algebraic manipulations...
( sin θ / cos θ ) = 0.5
tan θ = 0.5
θ = tan⁻¹ (0.5)
θ = 26.565051°
...reveal that...
2 sin θ = cos θ WHEN θ = 26.565051°.
The sides of the rectangle are then given by...
base = 10 cos θ
base = 10 cos 26.565051°
base = 8.944272
...and...
height = 10 sin θ
height = 10 sin 26.565051°
height = 4.472136 .
Multiplying base times height gives the area of the blue rectangle, which is...
base × height = ?
8.944272 × 4.472136 = 40 .
So the *area of the blue rectangle is 40 .*
I was an honors math student (including geometry) back in the 1970's. For the life of me I don't ever recall learning the subtended angle on a circle thing. Ever.
Head exploded. How exciting.
I got the right answer by finding the chord length of the diagonal of the rectangle, which is equal to 2*radius *(sin c/2), where c equal the subtended angle from the center of the circle, which is 90 degrees. *5* sin. 45= 7.07107. The short side and long side are in a ratio of 1:2. Inverse tan 1/2. = 26.565 degrees, so sin 26.565. * 7.07107= 3.16228 and cos 26.565 * 7.07107 = 6.32456. 3.16228* 6.32456= 20
I am very rusty on my math. I’m glad the algorithm brought me here. I will be practicing daily
Same lol, I'm in tertiary studies but completely forgot what the fuck an inscribed angle was
Good job Andy! That was a tought one.
just discovered your channel. i like this content please keep going
Your videos make me feel smarter haha. They introduce new was of thinking to me
Divide the rectangle in two blue squares with sides s.
Each square has a symmetry line that goes through the center of the circle.
(1/2*s)^2 + (3/2*s)^2 = 5^2 , so s^2 = 10 and the rectangle's area = 20.
That was incredible, good work
I love these videos ❤ Ty for making them they’re awesome and intriguing + educational
To be honest, mathematics has always been my favorite subject.
Man andy these math questions are the best.. i may nkt be able to solve them all, but they definutely get your brain thinking
Everything changes.
but the most iconic maths dialogue will be "How Exciting"
I have absolutely no idea what's happening in these videos but I watch them regardless.
I don't know why this channel get less views
That's an amazing video
I hope you will get more viewers in future
Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳India🎉❤
He’s very intelligent and he’s passionate about math! He would make one hell of a math professor in college.
SO COOL!
I never knew that about inscribed angles!
Im not interested in math but he got me curious and speaks in a way like it was very interesting to everybody 😅
Definitely good subscription
I'm not even a fan of math and yet I love every one of your videos.
I am loving it. Please keep up the good work.
I like these (videos) because they approach problem solving systematically.
This kind of video should be showing up in everyone's recommended
What is ur process of thought when you are approaching these types of problems?
Step 1: ask "how do I solve this?"
Step 2: solve the exercise.
Hahahahahahaha.
Thank you very much for the explanation, I didn't know how to do it, but thanks to you I even understand it now 😀
When Andy says "this is a fun one," you know it's gonna be a fun one!
this one was particularly wild. bro is NASTY with geometry 🔥🔥
The way this dude smiles while explaining things… if he was my teacher growing up I probably would have cared about math 😂
These math and science videos have become a refuge for me since I've become repulsed by mainstream media, identity politics and such. I can feel my brain healing as I learn. You are gem in an insane world.
There's another option: stop consuming media and go outside
@@shem7146 I'll try it.
i would advise you to try an actually solve the problem before watching the solution then, my brain is very good at pretending like it learned while it actually didn't learn anything lol, at least that's my experience
@@shem7146 Hey great advice. Today I drove out to the middle of a national forest and walked into the woods. It was outstanding I'm doing it again. Also music is good.
@@Goose____That's what I do, try to solve it before watching the video. I'm getting better with each video.
That's quite an interesting solution Sir.
Good One.
Quick and interesting! Love geometry!👍❤️
I absolutely love these kinds of videos!
Take a thread cut it to the diameter of the circle,
cut it into 10 equal pieces,
use a piece to measure the length and width of the rectangle,
multiply the length and width,
you got Area of the rectangle.
How exciting indeed! Good work sir.
At 0:27, how do you know this is two 45deg angles…? If rectangle is slightly offset, this wouod not be 45deg angles
because this rectangle have 90° in every corner
we know where is centre of one of the lines(taller one), so we make line from it to another corner
we get perfect 1/2 cube
and because 2 sides are the same, 180-90=90(sum of 2 x corners)
90÷2=45
Idk why are these videos so addictive
I knew there would be some solution using subtended angles but I was lazy. So I just dropped a perpendicular from the centre to the chord thus dividing the longer side of the rectangle into x and 3x and the shorter side is 2x. Then found its length as sqrt(25-x^2). Then used the Pythagoras theorem on the smaller triangle formed by joining the centre and the with the other end of the rectangle having side lengths 3x, sqrt(25-x^2)-2x, 5. Which gives x^2 = 2.5 and area = 8x^2 = 20.
Loving your problems and solutions...
0:25 - To me it absolutely doesn't look as if the triangle's catheti are congruent.
If I can't find a thing, I always look behind the fridge.
My teenage self would've ripped off a piece of the test paper, measured the 10, compared it to any of the portions of the rectangle in the hopes they matched up, and made an educated guess based on the multiple choices provided.
Do you have a definitions video? Getting lost on the terms, but the steps are immaculate!
make a full circle, flip the rectangle about the noted diameter, this acts to extend the small side till it hits the other edge of the circle, this gives us a right angle triangle with a corner on the edge so its hypotenuse is the diameter by basic circle theorems, so letting the small side be x we have
x^2 + (3x)^2 = d^2
x^2 = d^2/10
so x is root(10) so the area is 20
This is the only use of all the AP and college level math I do. I have never used the pythagorean theorem, Quadratic equations, Matrixes, in real life. the biggest problem i'm using mathing skills is finding the concentration for a solution usually milk or half and half.
Extremely impressive. I wish I knew all of this.
i am eating my dinner while watching this, i am 29 year old father of 3 and this is entertaining for me... recalling back all those memories from school lol
Quick satisfying and digestible. Love it. Got a new sub!
I got the answer by extending the rectangle from 2x*x to 3x*x and placing that rectangle underneath,
this new rectangle has all corners touching the circum and is centered within the circle,
then making a r-angle tri w sides x, 3x, and 10 making the hypotenuse = 10 = sqrt((3x)^2*x^2)
rearranging to find x = sqrt(10)
then the blue rect area = sqrt(10) * 2*sqrt(10)
= 2 (10)
solve it better connect the diagonal of the rectangle and let it =y then y^2=5x^2 then y=x*radical 5 now connect the points of intersection of the diagonals of the rect with the semi circle to the radius to form a right triangle then y^2=5^2+5^2 then y=5*radiacl 2 substitute in initial eq then x=radical 10 now area of rect =x*2x=2*10=20 u^2
i wish i found math this interesting when i was in school
Man ive learned more from your videos in yt than my teachers during classes
Every triangle is a love triangle when you love triangles - Pythagoras
Excellent explanation. I hope you're a math teacher.
I have a question, considering the short side as x and the longer as 2x, wouldnt x=10/3? Isn't the sum of the sides of the rectangle forced to be the same length as the diameter?
Hi Andy My guess is that you never did much technical drawing in high school? There is a geometric way which is much shorter and only involves the Pythag theorum. Consider the three points on the circumference. (The corner of the rectangle located on the diametral chord is just a magician's distraction as the diamertral chord can be drawn anywhere.) For some, it may be less confusing just to delete the diametral chord and draw the full circle and reorientate the rectangle so that the long side is horizontal. From geometry the center of any circle lies on the perpendicular bisector of any chord. Let the short side of the rectangle be X and the long side 2X. If these bisectors are drawn the angles and lengths are simple as they are all 45 degrees. From observation the centre of the circle lies X/2 past the rectangle's long side along to the intersection of the two perpendicular disectors. From here, use Pythag to calculate the radius in terms of X. The problem just falls out after that. Cheers
Love the videos man.
at the end you could've split the rectangle into two squares and each one is x^2, which would make it so you didn't have to do square roots
I was with you all the way up to 'Hey guys'.
Weezer’s 1994 debut album, “Weezer (The Blue Album)”
I see the blue rectangle. It's right there, in front of a white background. That's the real area of the blue rectangle
0:27 How do you know that the first triangle is 90/45/45?
I love the “how exciting” part
I used a bit of Pythagoras and then similar triangles. Same answer. I didn’t complete the circle but perhaps doing that was more elegant.
That's way more complex that I thought it would be
BTW - There's something about making squares & rectangles with semicircles, maybe a video on this? . . . "Subscribed"
Great Video. Can you please suggest what software you use to create these videos. Looks kinda fun!!!
I think he has already cleared the shown problem prior to video uploading.
Good memories of my geometry teacher.
