This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

eh what do you mean?

Mardokay Mosazghi - 6 years, 9 months ago

means I'm correcting a grammatical error. source: common internet

John M. - 6 years, 9 months ago

@John M. – ha ha i never knew that, is my solution right?

Mardokay Mosazghi - 6 years, 9 months ago

@Mardokay Mosazghi – lol I got no idea I never tried. whenever it's nontraditional mathematics on Brilliant I never give it a go (even though I could solve 90% of the problems if I invested the time) because it's most likely too time consuming for no good reason. Btw I liked Madara way better. now you put this stupid pikachu on lol... not hating on pokemon, but I love Madara. btw don't tell me anything from manga or episodes - I'm like 10 episodes behind.

thx and yeah if you wanna fix a typo - your own or someone else's - use the star before the word like

Alex: Your stupid

Mardokay: *you're

Oh btw if they call you Grammar Nazi ignore them - they just jelly or just trollin ;)

John M. - 6 years, 9 months ago

@John M. – lol i am update in both manga and anime and my physics is not updated yet but i am going for it.BTW madara is better as you said

Mardokay Mosazghi - 6 years, 9 months ago

@Mardokay Mosazghi – Heh cool I'll try to help out with physics with some conceptual problems next week.

Cheers

$6.25 unit^2$

How please explain.

A Former Brilliant Member - 6 years, 9 months ago

similarity and dude it is not chalangeous

Mardokay Mosazghi - 6 years, 9 months ago

6.25 as 5\20=bd\10 then we can find bd = 5\2 the area = .5 × (5\2 )× 5=25\4=6.25 unite^2

Aya Alaa - 6 years, 9 months ago

CBD and CAE are similar. Therefore, BC/CA=BD/AE. Thus BD=2.5 units. Area of CBD=BC.BD/2. Answer is 6.25 unit square
