Mathematics - 19 July 2006

I have a circle of radius one, and draw a chord across it of length squareroot(3). In the minor segment I draw a rectangle - which has one side along the chord and has the opposite two points touching the edge of the circle. The question - what is the largest size of rectangle that can be fitted within the minor segment? Proof would be great!

I say it must be true, but apparently the answer is false. How can this be?

Take three diffrent numbers ( eg 672)
make two numbers from the right without repeating
eg 67,72, and 62 and add them together ( 97+72+62= 201)
flip the numbers above and add them together
that is ( 67,72,and 62 becomes 76,27, and 26 respectively)
now adding ( 76+27+26 = 129)
Add the results together ( 201+129= 330)
Divide the result by the sum of the three digits you chose (for this case 6+7+2 which is 15)
The answer is always 22 ( for this case 330/15 = 22)

This follows for all three diffrent numbers.
Look at the other posting for amazing 99, why are all these manipulations a multiple of 11?
is 11 a certain number where all numbers revolve around?)
These was my original work, I was just messing with numbers when the Amazing 99 and amazing 22 happened to be the result)

Thanks for reading and answering too.

The height a ball bounces varies as the height from which it was dropped.

A ball that is dropped from 2.0 M bounces 1.5 m. What is the slope for graphing this variation?

And what would the slope be like if the variation was inconsistent?

2.0 M = 1.5 = .5 = .1 for example

Take any three diffrent digits,
eg 982,
flip it to get something like
289,
substract the smaller from the larger
982-289
Divide the results from the difference between the absolute value of the first digit and last digit ( in this case 2 and last 9)
What do you get?
Do for all combination.

The moral of the story, mathematics is easy and follows a certain pattern, and this pattern is what mathematicians try to find???
Thanks
