Math Storytelling Day

Anyone have a good math story?

 

[JenniferS]

When we went to that lame-o wedding in July, we passed this absolutely scrumptious smelling waterside food place on the way to the uber-fancy wedding venue.

All summer long, we've been saying we were going to go there. And today was finally the day.









The food was delicious, the company was perfect, the view was spectacular, and the weather was lovely.

Well there is that story about the star of Empire that believes 1×1 doesn't equal 1...

The view:

(Luckily, one of these tables cleared out by the time our food was ready.)

Maybe it's really supposed to be Meth Storytelling Day.

The company:




Duncan, a 12 week old English bulldog. Sooooo cute.

(Aha, you all thought I meant Hubby, didn't you?)

Spoiler

Of course I did. But Dancan was a close second.

After dinner, we went for a walk, one more level down, right beside the water.




(The end of the line.)

Duncan is CUTE - where'd you get him?

Duncan is not ours. He was just a puppy making the rounds; sniffing everything in sight; eating leaves, and rocks, and dirt.

Hubby is a sucker for puppies. I keep saying, "no more dogs". Sound familiar?

 

[JenniferS]

Holy overreaction to an overreaction batman!

You took the words right out of my mouth. I mean literally, word for word, what I was going to post.

Great minds think alike.

Huh?

 

[JenniferS]

Huh?

Andrew was responding to a conversation in the PotC thread. Typical N & R nonsense.

Ahhh - I went looking in a different thread.

That leash seems like a tad overkill. You could hold back a stallion with that thing.

That puppy was only 12 weeks old, and was already pretty strong. Another month or two, and that leash is going to be as effective as dental floss, methinks.

Well, @NYwdwfan, that is exactly the same reaction that I had, so I guess it applies again.

Anyone have a good math story?

Once in a kingdom far, far away, a beautiful girl was born to a king & queen. The castle in which she was born was a structure to behold. The diagonals of the side walls divide each other into segments with lengths that are pairwise equal; in terms of the picture below, AE = DE, BE = CE (and AE ≠ CE if one wishes to exclude rectangles). Opposite angles are supplementary, which in turn implies that isosceles trapezoids are cyclic quadrilaterals, at least according to the fairy godmother who helped construct the magical castle.
But a jealous witch wanted to destroy the kingdom, and she knew too well that the castle would only fall if the ratio in which each diagonal is divided is equal to the ratio of the lengths of the parallel sides that they intersect, that is,

The length of each diagonal is, according to Ptolemy's theorem, given by

where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides AD and BC, and c is the length of each leg AB and CD.

But luckily the witch miscalculated her assault, and the young princess & her kingdom lived happily ever after.
