Susan And h=height, b=length of the base

Smog1997 (confuzzlement) | 168 comments isn't it 1/2 h (b1+b2)?

Susan Here, I'll look it up....
Yeah! You're right! Sorry. It's been a while.... I was close though. :)

How do you find the Orthocenter, Circumcenter, Incenter, and centroid of a triangle?


message 54: by Susan (new)

Susan They are terms I learned in my Geometry 1 class. The different "centers" of a triangle. It doesn't have just one center. It has four. Because triangles are so darn special. XD They had to make a whole different class because of them- "Trigonometry"

Someone will answer eventually. :) I don't want to spoil my own question.

Trig sucks... :S
No one is anwering my questions...


message 56: by Susan (new)

Susan What is your question Laura? I never saw it. And do you know the answer to mine?

Susan Orthocenter: The altitudes of all three sides of the triangle, where those lines intersect.
Incenter: Where the three angle bisectors of the triangle intersect. (Creates the point which would be the center of a circle inscribed within the triangle.)
Circumcenter: Where the three perpendicular bisectors of the triangle intersect. (Creates the point which would be the center of a circle circumscribed about the triangle.)
Centroid: Where the three medians of the triangle intersect. (Creating the center of gravity of the triangle.)

Susan Which scientific law makes Nikola Tesla's "Free electricity generator" impossible?

No. They are very, very, very rarely the same point. It might be impossible, but I don't know... Maybe in a equilateral triangle... But other than that... And I don't even know for sure if that's true... No.

Everything vibrates."


Nope. :) Keep trying!


message 60: by Susan (new)

Susan No, that's not why.
Hint:
Nikola Tesla's free energy generator: if you take two devices and put one kilowatt of power into one, than the other, any distance away from the first, will produce another kilowatt of power.
Why does this not work?

Susan I already said: Nikola Tesla's free energy generator. (Forgive me if I don't know exactly what he called it. It is very commonly known as that.)

Put one kilowatt of energy into one of his devices, pretty much a machine you stick into the ground, and then, with a wireless connection, another of the same machines will produce another kilowatt if energy. This can be done with however many devices there are, creating free energy.

What scientific law makes this impossible?

Susan I'm going to be a freshman in Highschool when school starts again.
And someone else might know. It's supposed to be hard.

Susan CORRECT!!!
WOOOHOOO! :)
That was actually a question on my final exam in science... They said explain how Tesla's experiment worked... And I didn't know how because it made NO SENSE to me. And then I realized... That's because it doesn't make sense, it's impossible!
I got it right, so don't doubt me. Lol.

Which sentence is grammatically correct? (let someone else answer this one.)

A. I finished the work accurately, quickly, and with great precision.
B. I finished the work accurately, quickly, and precisely.
C. I finished the work with great accuracy, with great speed, and precisely.

Smog1997 (confuzzlement) | 168 comments A?


message 65: by Susan (new)

Susan No.

Smog1997 (confuzzlement) | 168 comments B, but i cheated:)


message 67: by Susan (new)

Susan ;) Yeah. If one of the words ends in -ly in that sequence, they all have to end in -ly.

Smog1997 (confuzzlement) | 168 comments What was determined from the case of Plessy vs Ferguson?


message 69: by Kogiopsis (new)

Kogiopsis Racially segregated facilities were Constitutional if they were equal. (It was overturned later by Brown v. Board of Education, which decreed that separate facilities were inherently unequal.)


message 70: by Susan (new)

Susan I thought the same thing when I head the rule! Lol.

After I did A, I was thinking it would be B, but I asked my mom to be sure :)

Susan :) Hi, 713Regina! Or can I just call you Regina?


message 73: by Susan (new)

Susan I'll call you Gina in order to decrease the effort of typing.
Do you have a quiz question to ask?
