Re: Is this cool with you?
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Yes, it must some bit of roundoff error in calculation. I do not see any reason for it to be different based on reversing the triangle.

Re: Is this cool with you?
Row 1: Sqrt[175²+250²]-0.7-1/0.7 = 303.035318964, which is very close to 303. Maybe so close that Geogebra's rounding tipped the result to just under 303.
And could your program be contributing in some way too?

Re: Is this cool with you?
New problem:
A cow is tied to one corner ( vertex ) of a 20 m square barn. The cow has a 50 m length of chain to keep it from escaping while it is grazing. How big is the cow's grazing area?
A says) Obviously a circle with a 50 m radius.
B says) Not quite, the barn interferes with that. It is closer to...
C says) I can not compute it even with a supercomputer.
D says) What is grazing?
E says) It is quite easy.
Can you answer the question?

Re: Is this cool with you?
New Problem:
ITCWY #200
a,b,c,d are positive and rational. The two chords are perpendicular. Neither chord is a radii. See the drawing below.
Can you find a general expression for the lengths of a,b,c,d? Or any expression showing what values would work?
