      Is it? It doesn't even pass the eye test. So if the large half-circle radius (R) is 12cm, it's surface area is:
      Rπ² / 2
      = 144 * π / 2 cm²
      = 72 π cm²
      For smaller shapes, we have 3 half-circles, where the radius (r) is 3 times smaller than the large radius (R). So we have:
      3 x (R / 3)² π / 2
      = 3 x (12cm / 3)² π / 2
      = 3 x 4² π / 2 cm²
      = 3 x 16 π / 2 cm²
      = 48 π / 2 cm²
      = 24 π cm²
      So that surface is 3 times smaller than the large half-circle

    Assumptions:
    1. The compositions of both the blue and green areas form half of a perfect circle
    2. Each blue area is half of a perfect circle
    3. All blue areas are equal in radius
    4. The sum of the blue diameters is equal to the total half circle diameter composed of both the green and blue areas
    Solution:
    DFN: D - The diameter of one blue circle
    DFN: R - The Radius of 1 blue circle
    2R = D
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Area of one blue circle:
    A_b = (pi*R^2)/2
    The Net Area of the blue sections:
    (By Assumption no. 3) A_b-net = (3/2)pi R^2
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Area of the green/blue section:
    (By Assumption no. 4) A_b/g = [pi (3D/2)^2]/2
    (D/2 = R -> A_b/g = pi(3R)^2)/2
    IE the area of the total composition is half of the area of a circle, whose radius is defined as half of the total diameter composition (defined as D from each blue section, which there are 3 of).
    Specifically:
    A_b/g = ([9D^2]/4)(pi/2)
    OR
    A_b/g = pi (9R^2)/2
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Area of the green and blue composite area: 9pi R^2/2
    Area of blue area: 3pi R^2/2
    Difference between the green and blue area:
    A_comp = [9-3] pi R^2/2
    A_comp = 6pi R^2/2
    A_comp is the area of the green section (we removed the blue areas from the total composite area)
    6pi R^2/2 = 2 x 3pi R^2/2
    IE
    The area of the green section is defined as being twice the area of the total blue section.
    The area of the green section is 2 times greater than that of the blue section.

      simpler solution
      area of a circle πr².
      area of a circle ¹/₂πr²
      area of 3 half circles 1 ¹/₂(πr²)
      Blue area (assuming radius of each circle is 1)
      1 ¹/₂(π1²) ---- the three comes from having three circles.
      1 ¹/₂(π1)
      1 ¹/₂π ---- the are of the blue circle
      area of the of the larger half circle. (note, radius is 3 times longer)
      ¹/₂(πr²)
      ¹/₂(π3²)
      ¹/₂(π9)
      4¹/₂π
      area of the green circle is the area of the larger circle minus the area of the blue area
      4¹/₂π - 1 ¹/₂π = 3π
      then to get the answer of how many times you multiple the blue area to get the green are, you need to divide the green area by the blue area
      3π÷1¹/₂π=2
      so the answer is the green area is twice the size of the blue area

    About the riddle in the end:
    Each of the small semicircles have an area of πd^2/8 and the the whole shape, green and blue, has an area of π9d^2/8. The small semisircles have a combined area of 3πd^2/8. By subtracting the combined area of the shape with the area of the semicircles we get an area of 6πd^2/8 witch is the green one.
    So the green area is 2 times larger than the blue one.

      Interesting view. Some people would intend that the Idrisids were the first to rule Kingdom of Morocco in 8th century and therefore contend that Ceuta was Moroccan before The county of Castile even existed. But again if you go even before that Ceuta was part of Visigothic Hispania, whose count Julian was responsible for it’s conquest by the Umayyad caliphate.

      Perhaps I simply wasn't aware that such a place exists inside Germany tho. If it's not about different borders, but you also count crossing a border with the same nation twice as long as it's at a different location, then you could do so with the German-Belgian border.

    The reason the Bridge between Botswana and Zambia Avoids Zimbabwe is because at the initial planning of the bridge Zimbabwe was a part of it but that time it was still ruled by Mugabe who later pulled out of the deal thus forcing both countries to increase their own costs and redesign the project.
    And funny enough when Mugabe was overthrown and Zimbabwe's new leader showed interest the project was to far ahead for a redesign.
    BTW I am from Botswana.
    Plus the reason we need that strip is coz if somehow Namibia Zimbabwe and south Africa closed their Borders over a dispute (some that will never happen only theoretical we would have it as our last option.

    I did the math in my head for the circle problem. It took longer than I think I should have, and it has been a long day, so if it’s wrong, forgive me. The green area is two times the size of the blue area. To put it in the terms used in the question, it is one time larger, but the usage of “times larger” sometimes seems to vary between referring to the difference when one is subtracted from the other or to the number of times the smaller will fit into the larger, which is why I’ve described it in two different ways.

      It's actually 3 times (edit: it's not, @5135TheEm's comment above shows my mistake). 3 blue diameters are equal to one green diameter. Which means R=3r where R is green diameter and r is blue diameter.
      Green area = πR²/2 = 9πr²/2
      Blue area = 3×πr²/2 [as there are 3 semicircles]
      Thus green area is 3 times the blue area

    Easy come on; radius of the blue ones = r, radius of the green is 3r. Area of a blue one is 0.5*pie*r^2. Area of the green is 0.5* pie*(3r)^2 = 0.5*pie*9r^s. Divide green by blue to get how many times larger green is than one blue, all the 9 cancel so green is 9 times larger. But there’s 3 blues so 9/3 = 3 the green 3 times larger. But it is partly blocked out. So as the blue is 1/3 the size of the whole green- 3 -1/3*3= 2. The Area that is green is 2 times larger than the area that is blue

      @coppersalts 6 років тому +10

      I did this too:
      If we assume the green has a radius of 1, the blue has a radius of 1/3.
      The blue area is 3/18π and the green area is 1/2π.
      x(3/18)π = (1/2)π
      x(3/18) = 1/2
      x(6/18) = 1
      6/18 = 1/x
      1/(6/18) = x = 3
      The green is 3 times as big as the blue.
      This is assuming that the green area is not (1/2π) - (3/18π) which it might be. If it is, then this is the math:
      x(3/18)π = (1/2π) - (3/18π)
      x(3/18) = 1/3
      x(9/18) = 1
      9/18 = 1/x
      1/(9/18) = x = 2
      The green is 2 times as big as the blue.

    4:26 The green area is a semicircle that is geometrically similar to the three blue semicircles. The diameter of the green area is three times that of each of the blue shapes. Multiplying the dimensions by 3 means multiplying the area by the square of 3, which is 9, so the green semicircle would be nine times the size of one blue semicircle. However, the blue semicircles are subtracted from the green area, and nine blue areas minus three blue areas means that the green area has the area of six of the blue semicircles. However, the total blue area is comprised of three blue semicircles, meaning that the ratio between green area and blue area is 6 : 3. This simplifies to 2 : 1, which is our final answer.

    Say the radii of the smaller (blue) semi-circles are r each. Hence each of their areas are 0.5πr^2. Since there are 3 of them, their total area is 3x0.5πr^2,
    or *1.5πr^2.*
    Now the radius of the bigger (green+blue) semi-circle is r+r+r, or 3r, and hence the area is 0.5π(3r)^2,
    or *4.5πr^2.*
    The green area = the area of the bigger semi-circle - the total area of the blue semi-circles
    = 4.5πr^2 - 1.5πr^2
    = *3πr^2*
    Green/blue = *3πr^2 / 1.5πr^2*
    = *2*

      I got the same answer, but I handled things slightly differently:
      I arbitrarily plugged in 12 as the d of the main half circle, making the d of each blue half circle=4, and their respective r=4 and 2.
      The area of a circle=(pi)r^2, so a half circle's area = 1/2 (pi)r^2. So,
      .The whole half circle's area = .5*6*6*3.14 = 56.52 and the blue half circles' area = .5*4*4*3.14*3 = 18.84
      Since the green area = whole area - blue area, the ratio of green area to blue area = (56.52-18.84)/18.84 = 37.68/18.84 =2.

    green radius=r so green area= 1/2(pi(r)^2)
    so then blue=1/9 whole thing

    if blue is 1/3, green is 2/3

    4:26 assume the diameter of green semicircle is 1. one blue semicircle has a radius of 1/3. pi*radius squared is the area of a circle so we do pi*1/6^2 which is pi/36 and because its a semicircle we divide it by 2 so pi/72. now the green semicircle will have the area of pi*1/2^2 so pi/4 and divide by 2 so pi/8. now we multiply pi/72 by 3 and get pi/24. divide pi/72 by pi/24 but to make it easier we inverse the pi/24 fraction and we get pi/72 * 24/pi. now we shorten this and get 3/1 * 1/1 so 3. so the ratio is 3/1 and the green semicircle is 3 times bigger

In which case green and blue are both semicircles, which just makes a mockery of the whole concept.

    now there are three blue half circles each with an area of 1, the blue area is 3
    the green half circle has an area of 9 but the green area has 3 blue half circles removed

  • @paniniman6524
    @paniniman6524 3 роки тому +2

    Let us assume the diameter of the green circle is 3cm. This is arbitrary, but it does help us solve this problem. To find how much bigger the green area is compared to the blue, we have to find the area of the bigger half-circle and subtract away the three smaller blue half circles. ((3/2)^2 x 3.14) = 7.065. Now because it is a half-circle, we divide it by two. This means the larger half-circle area is 3.5325cm2. now, we need to calculate the area of the three smaller circles. Since the diameter of the larger circle is 3cm, and there are 3 smaller circles, each diameter of the smaller circle is 1cm. area of one smaller half-circle: ((1/2)^2 x 3.14)/2 = 0.3925. Each blue half-circle is 0.3925cm2. because there are 3 half circles, we multiply that area by 3. 0.3925 x 3 = 1.1775cm2. because these smaller semicircles are taking up the larger semicircle's area, we subtract the area of the smaller semi-circle from the larger one. 3.5325 - 1.1775 = 2.335
    What we have now is the area of both colors. Green has an area of 2.335cm2 and blue has an area of 1.1775cm2. to find how much bigger the green is compared to the blue, we can turn these numbers into a percentage. (1.1775/2.335) x 100 is 50. We can conclude blue is 50 percent of the Green's area, therefore, green's area is 2 times bigger than blue's area.
    Final answer: Green is 2 times the size of Blue.

    Do you want to make a video on why is it worth it for Brilliant to advertise the same service to the same audience over and over again? Its genuinely an interesting question because 3-4 times on the same channel seems enough for people to acknowledge their existence.

    • @ObjectsInMotion
      @ObjectsInMotion 6 років тому +16

      This is a classic problem in advertising. Why does coke run so many ads when it seems almost everyone knows it exists? The answer is pretty simple. Babies.
      More specifically, if something is known by everyone, then almost paradoxically the rate of people finding out about it is quite high. It's the birthrate. Every day 12,000 people are born in the US, meaning almost 12,000 people a day are seeing a coke ad for the first time. That's why they keep running ads.
      Same is true for brilliant, but in this case the rate of people seeing the ad for the first time is the rate of people finding this channel for the first time.
      Tldr as long as people keep finding this channel, or makes sense to keep running the same ads.

    • @TimKhalikov
      @TimKhalikov 6 років тому +1

      Objects in Motion I somewhat understand the implications for Coke. And I feel like a powerful brand image is part of it too. But in case with Brilliant if they get 100k new people finding out about them (which is the main reason for them running these ads according to you) then surely there would be someone who is ready to pay more for 500k of new potential audience.

    • @ObjectsInMotion
      @ObjectsInMotion 6 років тому +3

      You would think, but in the end views are not important, subscriptions are. Brilliant keeps running ads on HAI because they have data showing it works. For every channel Brilliant advertises over and over on, there are 10 channels that get 1 ad and no others (I know of a few, they always seem like they don't belong on certain channels). The first time an ad runs is always a risk, its a a trial that rarely breaks even on the ad cost. Advertisers only make money on the repeat ads, which they only run on carriers that pass the trial. Brilliant knows that the new influx of people watching HAI are the type of people who are more likely than average to purchase a subscription. Even if only 10% of the views on this video are new, if on average 5% of HAI views are into Brilliant (0.5% of total views), then they make more than if say a cosmetics company runs an ad and, not surprisingly, only 0.2% of the audience are into makeup.
      Thus, while another company might get significantly more exposure by running many first-time ads, its very risky and often only profitable if it helps you find your target audience. After which point it makes sense to focus on the people that are newly joining that audience.

    4:30 answer is 2 times bigger
    Explanation below if you care, keep scrolling if not.
    Ag = Area of green
    Ab = Area of blue
    r = radius of green
    y = how many times bigger
    Giving us Ag = yAb
    And we need to solve for y
    Area of circle= πr²
    Ab consists of 3 semi circles which total diameter equals the diameter of green, therefore diameter of blue = ⅓ diameter of green. As radius is directly protional to diameter, radius of blue = ⅓ radius of green. Then divide by 2 (written as ×½) as it's a semi circle and times 3 as there's 3 (you could also combine this as times 1.5 as 3/2 is 1.5 and you can see 1.5 blue circles, but I don't like decimals in equations, and it makes things easier down the line). This gives us
    Ab=3π[r/3]²×½
    Green is easier, it's simply area of the green circle, divided by 2 to make it a semi circle, minus area of blue. Thus
    Ag=πr²×½ - Ab
    We can write Ag = yAb as
    πr²×½-3(π[r/3]²)×½ = y3π[r/3]²×½
    From here it's a case of simplifying and rearranging. Firstly, move the -Ab to from left to right of =, by adding Ab to both sides. As y is number of Ab, just add 1 to it.
    πr²×½=(y+1)×3π[r/3]²×½
    Both π and ½ cancel out simply.
    r²=(y+1)×3[r/3]²
    Rearrange to make y+1 the subject
    y+1= r²/3[r/3]²
    Expand [r/3]² brackets
    y+1 = r²/(3r²/9)
    As we're dividing by a fraction, we can times by the inverse of a fraction, which gives us
    y+1 = 9r²/3r²
    The r² cancels out
    y+1 = 9/3
    9÷3 = 3 thus
    y+1 = 3
    Then subtract 1 from each side
    y = 2
    Thus Ag=2Ab.

    Answer to the maths question for anyone wondering:
    The formula for the area of a circle is πr^2. So for a semicircle, it is πr^2/2.
    The radius of the green semicircle is 3x the radius of one of the blue semicircles.
    Let's call the radius of one of the blue semicircles 1. So the radius of the green semicircle is 3.
    So the area of the full green semicircle is π x 9/2, which is 4.5π.
    The area of the 3 blue semicircles combined is three times π x 1/2, which is 1.5π.
    So the green area (green semicircle - blue semicircles) is 3π.
    Therefore, the green area is 2x the blue area.

    Question at the end:
    We can clearly see that the middle circles are 1/3 of the diameter of the bigger larger circle.
    By using the formula " R × R × π" we can calculate the area of any circle and take half of it for calculating half a cricle.
    Lets calculate the inner circle first by using any number, i choose 3 for R
    ( 3 x 3 x 3,14 )/ 2 = 28,26
    Now multiple by 3 since we have 3 half cicles
    28,26 x 3 = 84,78
    Now lets take the outer circle
    Since the middle circles diameter is a third of the larger we can conclude that in this case the R would be 9 so:
    (9 x 9 x 3,14 )/2 = 254,34
    Now lets subtract the area of the inner circles
    254,34-84,78=169,56
    169,56 is double of 84,78 so the green area is twice as big as the blue area.

    • @robinschulz9961

      You're correct but I think it's nicer to just keep the variables like pi instead of multiplying it out.
      That way you get (r×r×pi)/6 for the blue area and (r×r×pi)/2 for the whole thing
      from there it's as simple as 1/2 - 1/6 to get the area of the green part which is ((r×r×pi)×2)/6
      So ignoring the (r×r×pi), because it's the same for both you get 1/6 for blue and 2/6 for green, obviously meaning green=2×blue
      I like this better, because it can be done entirely without the need of rounding the irrational numbers you get, when multiplying with pi
      Having to rounf them obviously will always lead to small amounts of inaccuracy, so avoiding it is beneficial
      Also I'm to stoopid to multiply with pi in my head and I didn't want to go get a calculator

    If we assume the green has a radius of 1, the blue has a radius of 1/3.
    The blue area is 3/18π and the green area is 1/2π.
    x(3/18)π = (1/2)π
    x(3/18) = 1/2
    x(6/18) = 1
    6/18 = 1/x
    1/(6/18) = x = 3
    The green is 3 times as big as the blue.
    This is assuming that the green area is not (1/2π) - (3/18π) which it might be. If it is, then this is the math:
    x(3/18)π = (1/2π) - (3/18π)
    x(3/18) = 1/3
    x(9/18) = 1
    9/18 = 1/x
    1/(9/18) = x = 2

      Green is twice as big as blue.
      Radius of green = 3* radius of blue
      Area of blue = 3/2 *pi* rad of blue sq.
      Area of green =total area of big semi circle - area of blue
      = pi*rad of green sq/2- area of green
      Da da da da da......
      Area of green = 2* area of blue

    I'm pretty sure it's 2
    so the area of half of a circle would be (pi r^2)/2
    to get the area of the green part we will need to subtract the area of the blue parts(x), so (pi r^2)/2 - 3x
    if we assume that the radius of the green part is 1 then the radius of the blue part will be 1/3 so we calculate the area x = (pi * 1/9)/2 = 1/18pi
    we need three of these areas, so the total area of the blue areas is 3x = 3/18 pi
    from this we can get the green area (pi * 1)/2 - 3/18 pi = 1/2pi - 3/18pi = 9/18pi - 3/18pi = 6/18pi = 1/3pi
    we then divide the green area by the blue area 1/3pi / 3/18pi (we can get rid of the pi's) = 1/3 / 3/18 = 6/16 / 3/18 = 2
    sorry for any mistakes in my english

    That's literally the easiest math question ever, I need to do that all the time in school
    You find the radius of the WHOLE green circle then find the area (pie radius to the power of 2) then once you find the area you divide by 2
    Then you find the radius and then the area of each blue circle, add them up and find the difference
    Once you have the difference divide that by the three circle's area
    BOOM!

      they are not asking you to measure it ; they are asking you to answer it with the information you have already been given
      the correct answer in 9
      reason 1 :
      the horizontal change is 3 x because it is 3 x the length at the bottom
      it is directly proportional so the vertical change is the same as the horizontal change
      the vertical change is therefore also 3
      the total change is the horizontal change x vertical change
      3 x 3 is 9 so the total change is 9
      reason 2:
      length of the base x 2 is the radius
      the length of the larger shapes base is 3 x the smaller shaped base (hence 3x)
      lets say the length of the base is one (its ratio so any number would work)
      to calculate the area of a circle it is pi x the radius squared
      then you half it (x0.5) to get half the area of the circle because they are only half circles
      y = 3x²x(0.5π)
      ---------------
      x²x(0.5π)
      if you substitute x for 1 then the answer is 9

    I used a large potato to calculate this. Let me explain.
    Choose one large potato and slice it into round circles with the same thickness. Take one of the largest slice and polish the edges to make it into a perfect circle.
    From the remaining bits, make 3 more circles to perfectly recreate the shape from the image.
    Now cut the large one in half.
    All you need to do now is to weight the large one and the 3 small ones. I will assume the same density because...well I used good Irish potato.
    So I've got the large slice being twice as heavy as the small ones.

    The area of the larger semi circle is is (1/2)πr^2. The blue area is (1/6)πr^2. The green area is the area of the large semi circle subtracted by the blue area.
    The green area is (1/2)πr^2 - (1/6)πr^2 = (1/3)πr^2. The green area is twice as large as the blue area

      WRONG, lets say diameter of green semi circle is 3, and the diameter of each blue semi circle is 1, the total area of the larger green semi circle is (1/2)π(3)^2, or 4.5π, however to find the area of the green, you must subtract the three smaller blue semi circles, so you get 4.5π - 3*((1/2)π(.5)^2) which gets you 3*((1/2).25π), or .75π/2, or .375π, which is 4.5π-.375π which is equal to 4.125π. Now you compare 4.125π to .375π, and when you get 4.125π/.375π, you get 11.

      @@howies2319 Both of you are using difficult numbers to make the calculation. Use r=1 for the smaller semicircles, then r=3 for the larger semicircle. Then it's obvious the blue area is 3*(1/2)*π*(1)^2 = 3π/2 = 1.5π. The larger semicircle has area (1/2)*π*(3)^2 = 9π/2 = 4.5π. Subtract the blue area to get the green area = 3π. So clearly the green area is twice as large as the blue area. VronZ is correct.

    Since three small blue circles fit in the one big green circle the diameter of the green is 3 times larger than the blue. Since area of a circle is pi*r^2, and the green radius is 3 times bigger, then it is 3^2 bigger. So green area is 9 times bigger than blue comparing the circles. But since 3 blues are covering up 1 green then 9-3 is 6 for green. So 3 blue and 6 green, which leaves the green area of that image being twice the blue.
