It looks nonsensical to me. The notation doesn't even seem to be used correctly. It's even got an odd number of parentheses!

If it's true is there any proof. I came upon this question when I was solving a problem which required using similarity of triangles.

Help: 16 - 18 (A-level) Geometry question

Saw this interesting and impossible geometry question in Instagram. The method I use is similar triangles. I let height of triangle (what the qn is asking) be x. The slighted line for the top left triangle is (x-6)² + 6² = x² - 12x + 72. Then, x-6/6 = √(x² - 12x + 72)/20. After that, I'm really stuck. I appreciate with the help, thanks.

This might make me look like an idiot but bear in mind I haven’t done maths since grade 10 in high school and I don’t know whether im lacking in common sense or not, but I’d appreciate your help.

I’m doing an online practice assessment for a retail job and this question keeps confusing me. I thought that the answer would be $232.16 after 10% of discount but for some reason that’s not even an option and I had to press on all the answers to figure out which one was right.

Can someone please explain how they got $212.95?

Thanks!!

Yes, maybe they're just joking with me but I would still like to know how to explain it clearly and concisely.
