You're not even looking at the picture dumbass. 10 is the length of the outside big triangle. 6 is the length of the side of the inner triangle.
>>37056717
can I get a confirmation that the answer is 24? I solved for the base using sin(x) = 6/10, then solved for the height.

You are doing it wrong senpai
>>37057055
according to your logic, if the height was 6, then the base would not be 10. The base would be the bottom portion of the triangle, and the hypotenuse would be 10-x (x = the portion cut off by the altitude).

10*6/2 implies the area must be 30. But then the two legs x,y must be x*y = 60. With the Pythagorean theorem, x^2+y^2 = 100. Solving the two equations simulataneously yields imaginary solutions.

altitude is a height

dumbfucks
>>37057375
The Pythagorean Theorem only holds for right triangles. The 6/10/b Triangle you've presented is not a right triangle. You jackass.
>>37057541
Shh let them argue
>>37056717
"A right triangle has a hypotenuse equal to 10 and an altitude to its hypotenuse equal to 6"
An altitude "is a ling segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base"
Therefore the value of 10 is the entire length of the large triangle, because the problem defined the altitude as intersecting the 10 value hypotenuse.
area = 1/2BH
= 1/2 (10)(6)
= 30 units squared
You all are fucking autistic, ignore the picture that's what you're all doing wrong. The picture shows the hypotenuse (which=10) to be the right of the 90 degree angle, NOT across from it. So we know that the picture is fucked up to begin with, so we will ignore it.
>Hypotenuse = 10
>Another side = 6

>36 + b^2 = 100

So we know that the other missing leg is 8 units long.

oh wait thats not fucking right and the problem never even addresses the "base" of the triangle. Besides in my explanation I called the hypotenuse to be = 10, now glance at that picture and which side of the triangle is the hypotenuse? is it the side thats most at the bottom? is that the fucking base? jesus christ i hope you are a troll cuz u got me real fucking heated

It's an assumption, otherwise the problem is impossible
>>37057672
to think that I share this board with these idiots...
>>37057650
Let's for the sake of argument say that 10 is the length opposite beta 1. We can use Apollonius' circle theorem to conclude that the larger right triangle and the smaller triangle are similar. From there you can figure out the height. If the height is h, we have A = h * sqrt(10^2+6^2), but by similarity h/sqrt(10^2+6^2) = 10/6, so you have h = 10*sqrt(10^2+6^2)/6, so A = 10*(10^2+6^2)/6
>>37057675
It actually is a 345 triangle, he is wrong about the angles tho

Kill urself
>>37057679
>>37057683
Alright you faggots, explain to me what exactly the "altitude" of the hypotenuse is? Because the line labelled 6 wouldn't represent the height of either the bottom most line or the topmost line. It's just randomly thrown in. The fucking picture is unrelated to the actual word problem. Just read the text and imagine this triangle in your head fresh, and you'll see it's literally just any other right triangle.
>>37057715
It doesn't prove shit. None of the triangles are isosceles so no two angles in any of them can be equal you fucking retard.

An altitude is a perpendicular line that connects from the vertice of one angle to to the opposite base.

The intersect of the altitude with the hypotenuse is 90deg on each side by definition of an altitude.
ergo the altitude is a straight line showing the height of the triangle
i.e. 1/2*10*6=30
this whole question is just recognising the definition of the terminology used and applying it
Anyone in this thread who says it's anything besides impossible is actually retarded
>>37057856
Everyone that replied to me using memetics? Assuming that the altitude bisects the triangle, the sides would have to be congruent. Given the fact that the altitude is 6, and using the 45-45-90 triangle rule, it shows that the triangle is not isosceles, since the remaining two sides are not 6 root 2.
I can't see what's so hard to comprehend here.

Lmao fucking retard. How do you bisect a triangle? The sides are congruent modulo what? Stop using terminology you have no idea of. It makes your retardation even more painfully obvious.
The altitude neither bisects the base angle nor the hypotenuse btw lmfao
>>37057884
>bisects
Does it like the 2 sides are equal anon?
>>37057690
In /fit/'s defense, if you're told "here's a triangle, find X," you assume that the person handing you the problem isn't a faggot trying to trick you. But on 4chinz, you should assume the opposite.
For anyone who cares this is a way to show it's impossible. The 2nd thru 4th statements are just using pythagorean theorem on the two smaller triangles and the large triangle. Then substitution leads to a quadratic eq with no real solutions.
>>37057912
tfw You will never cj a ratio like that
>>37057925
Bisects the triangle's base angle you fucking weeb. There's no other way to attack this problem other than making assumptions, there's not enough information. If two angles have the same degree measure, their corresponding sides must be congruent. You find the length of the base with the assumption that the altitude bisects the base angle, the smaller triangle becomes a 45-45-90 triangle because the altitude creates a right angle when it connects to the hypotenuse. The longest side of the smaller triangle, or the base of the big one becomes 6 root 2. The big triangle, since it's right, and has one 45 degree angle, implies the final angle must be 45 degrees, therefore the the final side must be 6 root 2 as well, but it's not.
Whos the idiot who posted this on /sci/ and couldnt even put up the actual op pic
>>37057958
>There's no other way to attack this problem other than making assumptions, there's not enough information.
Except that >>37057267 this guy did without making stupidly false assumptions lmao.
The altitude is defined to be the line that intersects the hypotenuse at right angles, and this is enough to uniquely determine it. Any more information on it, such as "it must bisect the base angle", will overspecify it which makes such a line not exist in general. Of course if you knew any algebraic geometry you'd know this, but with the stupid shit you've already posted I can safely assume that you don't even understand basic elementary school-level Euclidean geometry
>hurr w-weeb
Gets BTFO by a weeb. How pathetic.
alright I'm drunk and didn't read any of the replies and have never heard of the altitude of a triangle before, but here goes.
Given the "altitude" line meets the hypotenuse at a 90 degree angle, it's probably a 30 60 90 triangle; since we already know the altitude length we can derive the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle created by the altitude line - which is the height of the triangle - and then ask Pythagoras to tell us the base length, which is then used to find the area.
If not right, someone tell me my flaw pls. I couldn't afford to finish my math minor so this is a sore spot for my ego.

>>37058167
Both. If it is 30 it cannot be a right triangle as the maximum alitude a hyp of 10 can have is 5. So either it is a regular old non right triangle in which case itd be 30.
It's 36, not hard if you know the pattern.
>>37057708
Square root of 136 is 12..
huh, you learn something new everyday.
Holy shit /fit/, what the fuck is wrong with you? If any solution doesn't contain the cosine rule, it is objectively wrong. 6 is the length from the bottom left corner to the hypotenuse, not the height of the triangle. It's not just 6^2 + B^2 = 10^2 and then area = 1/2 * (B + 6) you fucking spastics.

>>37056717
Is this triangle natty?
>>37058207
>Both
No. Absolutely not both. The problem reads:
>"A right triangle has a hypotenuse equal to 10 and an altitude to its hypotenuse equal to 6."
>right triangle
>right
The triangle is GIVEN to be right and have those dimensions. As that triangle cannot exist, there is NO AREA, and certainly not fucking 30, so definitely not "both".
>>37058109
back the fuck off?????!!
>>37058287
kek
>>37058287
Nah it's imaginary. Most likely a fraud
>>37056717
This is a genuine question for someone interested in learning more. Is the altitude even necessary to figuring out the area?
Step up fit. The answer is 4.5x4. An altitude of 6 is totally possible in a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 10.
>>37058369
>doesn't know what altitude means
Oh boy. Here's your (You)

You're fucking stupid. Hope you're jacked at least, that's all you got going for you fuckboi.
>>37058147
holy shit you're retarded.
>>37058369
>right triangle
>81 + 16 = 100
Yeah m8, totally possible, right.
>>37058470
Close enough desu
If such a triangle existed, the area would be 30. There's your answer.
But Anon I am dumb. I dropped out at 9th grade.

>high school students having a giggle about the maths problem their teacher walked them through earlier that day
I dare you faggots to study metabolic physiology as a degree.
The tricky part of this is having to google what an altitude actually means because geometry is taught to very basic standards because fuck Euclid right? Then once you've established it's the height, it's just 0.5 * 10 * 6 = 30
30 Sq. Units.
>>37056717
Okey are we just assuming the angle between the smaller and larger triangle is 90 degrees? Because if not i think this is impossible. Because as it looks now it could just as well be 89 and 91 degrees
>>37058537
>are we just assuming
>right triangle
>established hypotenuse
wot m8?
Every one of you in this thread is a stupid fucking faggot.
If you break the hypotenuse into the sections before and after the line labeled 6, let's call them A and B, then set up all the equations you can, you get the same number of variables as you have equations.
> A = xy/2
> 10^2=x^2+y^2
> 10 = n + m
> y^2 = n^2+6^2
> x^2 = m^2+6^2
> ...so on and so forth
You faggots know enough math to plug and chug away for hours, but not enough to know at first glance that something is unsolveable.
Took me 30 seconds.
How do you keep an idiot busy?
SEND HIM TO COLLEGE
Imagine how great this place would be if we had anyone here who'd finished primary school
>>37058631
I don't get any of this
>>37056717
triangle 1 (small one on the right)
6^2+X^2=H^2
Triangle 2 (larger one on the left)
6^+(10-X)^2=B^2
Traingle 3
B^2+H^2=10^2
Shove together
2*6^2+2X^2-20x+100=100
x^2-10x+36=0
5+-sqrt(100-4*36)/2
5+-sqrt(-44)/2
it doesn't exist
>>37058631
Thank you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean_theorem
The formula is A=(basexheight/2) not A=(hypotenusexaltitude/2)
The product of the altitude and the hypotenuse is a meaningless number.
ITT: mathematicians acting like this shit is common sense
>>37058720
Its literally 9th grade math
>>37058720
Where the fuck do you see mathematicians?
Guys, its totally solveable..and it's 30.
Bunch of lucky faggots with wrong method getting right answer ITT

I still can't remember what the fuck is a hypotenuse
>>37058748
Basic geometry and trig is taught in 8th grade. You don't need to know anything more to realize the triangle can't exist.

I'm OP and I actually cross posted it from Bungie.net in the first place.
For the record, the results there were similar.
>>37058744
are you high?
I'm actually kind of shocked at how well this has worked.
I mean threads like this always gained traction a few years ago but it actually looks like the general populace on this particular board are significantly more stupid than before. We used to joke about the idiot meatheads here but oh how the mighty have fallen.

a = 10
ah = 6
Area = 30.
30 seconds of Google, for a practical solution you dumb fucks can't fuck up.
>>37058880
I mean to be fair testing people on one subject that they probably studied a few years ago isn't a great metric for general intelligence
>>37058631
>>37058744
Welp, I got owned.
>>37058866
I confirmed it, >>37058744 is legit.
Friggin' trig, every single time...
>>37058897
I'm seeing it now.
I am the one who is high.
>>37058892
Actually the one or two people who flat out said it was stupid to remember geometry formulae get a pass. What's worse is people trying to bluff and failing miserably.
I just find it amusing how this used to be a playground for very strange but indisputably intelligent people...and now this.

If it can't exist, how can I see it? Check m8, atheists.
