Can You Solve This Geometry Puzzle Involving an Elephant?
This visual puzzle presents a geometry problem featuring an equilateral triangle. The image shows a yellow triangle formed by connecting the midpoints of two sides of the larger triangle to one of its vertices. The challenge asks viewers to determine what fraction of the total area of the large equilateral triangle is occupied by the yellow section. An elephant is included in the corner of the image, serving as a humorous nod to the 'elephant in the room' idiom, while the core of the post invites users to engage in a mathematical calculation.
If we call every side of the large triangle "a", then the area of the large triangle resolves to: A1 = h1 * a/2 = SQRT(a² - (a/2)²) * a/2 = (SQRT(3)/2) a * a/2 While the area of the smaller triangle resolves to: A2 = h2 * (h1)/2 = SQRT((a/2)² - ((h1)/2))²) * (h1)/2 = SQRT(a²/4 -
Do your fucking homework on your own. You are already retarded as it is judging by posting a poll, no need to worsen the condition by also being a lazy piece of shit.
Fuck you Pythagore and Thalès ! I don t remember you !!!
Very, very geh... .
I'm not doing your math homework for you OP
Ok, but are we going to address the elephant in the room?
1/4 But there’s no point in taking part in this daft poll
Poll = downvote Retarded poll should be punished by endless evil mother in law is staying over
1/4. Here is how it worsks:
Lower white part is clearly 1/2 of the triangle. Upper white part is clearly 1/4. i think that needs no further explanation? Then the yellow is 1 - 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4.
