Descartes vs. Pascal For centuries‚ human beings have been debating over the validity of the use of reason. This is a very‚ very difficult subject to discuss‚ as one is forced to study something which is at that moment being used in their study. Two classic thinkers who contrasted on their view of reason were Descartes and Pascal. Though both saw reason as the primary source of knowledge‚ they disagreed over the competence of human reason. Descartes‚ the skeptic‚ said that we could use reason

1 Introduction. Let us consider a triangle of fractions: Obviously‚ the numbers are following some pattern. In this investigation we will try to explain the theory behind this arrangement and to find a general relation between the element’s number and its value. The pattern above is called a Lacsap’s Triangle‚ which inevitably hints at its relation to another arrangement - Pascal’s Triangle (as Lacsap appears to be an anagram of Pascal). The algorithm behind it is very simple: each element

arcs. The shorter arc is called the minor arc. SPHERICAL TRIANGLES A spherical triangle is that part of the surface of a sphere bounded by three arcs of great circles. The bounding arcs are called the sides of the spherical triangle and the intersections of these arcs are called the vertices of the spherical triangle. The angle formed by two intersecting arcs is called a spherical angle. Like a plane triangle‚ the spherical triangle has also six parts – three angles and three sides. The sides

area of a hexagon using special right triangles‚ using trigonometry‚ breaking the hexagon into smaller polygons‚ and even show you how to construct one! So let’s get started‚ this hexagon has a radius of 6 cm‚ keep in mind that there are many different ways to do find the area of a hexagon. Use the formula 1/2asn meaning; ½ (apothem) (side length) (number of sides).You can put two radii (radii is a term for more than one radius) together and make a triangle. There is a problem we do not know the

triggered off further efforts; further research was done to solve future surveying problems. It was not until on June 2013 while studying on curvilinear coordinates that we were prompted with an idea which enabled us to discover that the area of a triangle could be found by a relation connecting area to length of one side and trigonometric ratios of two angles emanating from the line considered. The knowledge of Vector analysis‚ equation of straight lines and calculus all combined proved to be
