OpenStudy (anonymous):

@GT

@philips13 ive probably messaged about 20 people about questions and half of them didnt even respond to me and the other half couldt help me..... i really frustrated ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, put your finger on the table, that is the given point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now arrange as much stuff on the table as you can, all of it the same distance from your finger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are they all on top of each other? that would be another point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres no diagram for this ..... @philips13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@GT Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gt is right, but he used magic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you want to learn this stuff? or do you just need the answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

happy to help either way, if I can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to learn it but ... but the thing is im that smart so its hard for me to get things fast @philips13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* im not @phili

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got a few coins handy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem is the problem itself. Terminology and jargon filled. If it was stated simply as "what is the shape you get when you draw points equal distance away from a given point", it might actually be less intimidating.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very true, GT but that is what EVERY book says a circle is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unfortunate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ummmm..... I actually need help with a few more questions but i dont have any coins cause i just started a few hours ago ......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok princess... hit us with the next one and forget my last post... doesnt matter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. So you find a treasure map right ? And the map shows a treasure hidden in the park near a tree and a statue . The map says that the tree and the statue are 10 feet apart . now the treasure is buried 7 feet from the base of the tree and also 5 feet from the base of the statue . how many places are possible locations for the treasure to be buried ? a. 1 b. 2 c 3 d 4 5 0 @philips13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

grab three coins and a ruler

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put two coins on the table 10 inches apart from each other... these are the tree and the statue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, how many places can you put the last coin so that it is 5 inches from one and 7 inches from the other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's more than that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@philips13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you say five inches from one and seven from the other you talkin bout the two coins ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... instead of feet in the park we are using inches on the table

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there anyplace else you can put something 7 inches from the coin on the left and 5 inches from the coin on the right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is that the only place on the table that is 7 inches from the coin on the left and 5 inches from the coin on the right?
