    My only problem: Why is it that the squares A^2 + D^2 and B^2 + C^2 (both visually equal) are perpendicular when rotated along the circle. How is this and also, how does this translate mathematically and visually when the squares are not equal?
    Love the video!

    • @ianprado1488
      @ianprado1488 6 років тому +6

      Sy Fontenot for the purpose of the proof, when sqrt(A^2 + B^2) and sqrt(C^2 + D^2) are perpendicular, their hypotenuse equals the circles diameter. I wish he explained that as well

    • @3snoW_
      @3snoW_ 6 років тому +6

      Sy Fontenot because the cross divides the circumference in 4 arcs, in such a way that two opposite arcs will add up to half the circumference. I'll think about a way to prove why this is true and get back to this comment section

    • @chaosme1ster
      @chaosme1ster 6 років тому +6

      @Sy Fontenot: Segment AC and BD are perpendicular, by definition. Now bring their intersection point (i.e. the point inside the circle where A, B, C and D meet) to the edge of the circle, so that ultimately the intersection-point is *on* the circle (and, in the animation, C = D = 0). Now it's obvious that A and B will still be perpendicular, and so the squares will be.
      Final step: since A and B are perpendicular, the hypothenuse will now be a diameter of the circle according to Thales' theorem.
      @Think Twice: beautiful visual proof, well done. Nice one to do in class: present the theorem, ask for a proof, let students sweat for 15 minutes, and then show this animation :-).

    • @patrickwienhoft7987
      @patrickwienhoft7987 6 років тому +5

      I still don't understand where we show A²+B²+C²+D² is constant.
      The video only shows that for C=0 and D=0 the sum is equal to the diameter squared, but not that this is true for any point in the circle. What am I missing?

    • @chaosme1ster
      @chaosme1ster 6 років тому +5

      Patrick Wienhöft: Start at 1:11 where you see two squares a^2+d^2 and b^2+c^2 for /random/ a, b, c, d. Then from 1:14-1:17 it is shown that you can rotate those squares so that they end up as perpendicular squares, i.e. squares on the short sides of a rectangular triangle whose hypothenuse is the circle's diameter. This indeed is where c=d=0 but what you miss is that it is derived from a situation where c and d are *not* 0. So no, the video does not show the property only for c=d=0, as you suggest, but for any combination of a, b, c, d.

      When he moves those two lines such that they are at a right angle, then according to Thales's theorem the line joining the other free points are diametric ends.

    • @terdragontra8900
      @terdragontra8900 6 років тому +24

      Its not obvious that they indeed make a right angle once the two chords are moved so that their endpoints coincide, but it does follow from the fact that the original two lines (the lines "AC" and "BD") were perpendicular.

    • @RaymondBarbour
      @RaymondBarbour 6 років тому +5

      terdragontra do you have a proof for that?

    • @praneethkolichala9146
      @praneethkolichala9146 6 років тому +11

      It follows from the fact that the angle formed by two chords is the average of the intercepted arcs. Therefore, the sum of those intercepted arcs must be 180, since the average is 90. Then, when you move one part of the arc and attach it to the other side, the sum is still 180 (half of a circle). mathbitsnotebook.com/Geometry/Circles/CRAngles.html

  • @ericyip3281

    • @MrNicePotato
      @MrNicePotato 6 років тому +14

      Because the four points cross to form a right angle at the beginning, which means each pair of opposite segments contains half of the circumference. When you bring the two line segments together, the hypotenuse is then the diameter. By definition, the angle formed at the circumference would be a right angle

      @@MrNicePotato how each pair of opposite segments covers half the circumference?

    • @brunoberganholidias5790
      @brunoberganholidias5790 4 роки тому +2

      @@anshulagrawal633 Not sure if you still have this doubt, but I'll give it a go. You can think it this way: The angle formed by the segments before the transformation is 90º. By the angle beetween two chords formula, 90º = (arcBC + arcAD)/2, so arcBC + arcAD = 180º.
      After transformation, that relation is still valid. Let us call the angle beetween the "AD" segment and the hypothenuse A, and the angle beetween the "BC" segment and the hypothenuse B.
      The angle A "sees"(I'm brazilian, not sure what the correct term would be) the arc "BC", so A = arcBC/2
      By the same reasoning, B = arcAD/2.
      so A + B = arcBC/2 + arcAD/2 = (arcBC + arcAD)/2 = 90º
      So the triangle is a right triangle.
      The "containing half of the circumference" part would be refering to the fact that the arcs add up to 180º

  • @Jo_Wick
    @Jo_Wick 6 років тому +6

    I don't think I'm looking at this right, but isn't that Pythagorean's theorem being used at 1:24? If so, shouldn't the equation be
    "(A^2)+B^2=C^2"? Pluging (A^2)+D^2 from the bottom square for A and (B^2)+C^2 from the square from the right with C, do you not get ((A^2)+D^2)^2+((B^2)+C^2)^2=Diameter^2? I don't get this...

    • @syfontenot7427
      @syfontenot7427 6 років тому +6

      Jo Wick, Notice how the (A^2)+D^2 is already the square. Same with the other square. Since they’re already the squares, there is no need to square it again to fit into the Pythagorean Theorem. Just substitute them for a^2 and b^2 in a^2 + b^2 = c^2. The diameter is c therefore diameter^2 = c^2. And A^2 + B^2 + C^2 + D^2 = Diameter^2.

    The point cannot be "anywhere" in the circle - if you look at the very beginning of the video when there is just the circle and on vertical and one horizontal line - these two line have a single intersection point - the loci of which traces a very specific path.
