[09:33:29] kellyz left.
[13:25:40] kellyz joined.
[13:31:39] rotorhead joined.
[13:39:45] kellyz: blah
[13:39:55] rotorhead: ?
[13:39:58] rotorhead: hw hard?
[13:40:14] kellyz: ok-ish....
[13:40:17] kellyz: :-/
[13:40:20] kellyz: i haven't done much
[13:40:35] kellyz: -sigh-
[13:42:03] rotorhead: you should have done them last night
[13:42:09] rotorhead: then you can chill now
[13:47:17] rotorhead: hungry
[13:47:19] rotorhead: bye
[13:47:20] rotorhead left.
[13:47:50] kellyz went away: doing hwk
[15:09:22] rotorhead joined.
[15:23:34] Ben Johnson joined.
[15:23:47] Ben Johnson: i need help
[15:23:51] Ben Johnson: #5.
[15:23:57] Ben Johnson: hw77
[15:24:14] Ben Johnson: anyone there?
[15:24:48] rotorhead: bei cheen seen
[15:25:03] Ben Johnson: mk.
[15:25:15] Ben Johnson: so csn u help me?
[15:25:27] Ben Johnson: *csn
[15:25:31] Ben Johnson: **can
[15:25:45] Ben Johnson: or r u working on chinese?
[15:25:47] rotorhead: im not good with constructions
[15:25:53] Ben Johnson: grr.
[15:25:55] rotorhead: i havent really learn them
[15:25:59] Ben Johnson: ok.
[15:26:05] rotorhead: nor practiced
[15:26:24] Ben Johnson: well...u know about proportions right?
[15:26:31] Ben Johnson: and the geometric mean?
[15:26:47] rotorhead: ........................
[15:27:20] Ben Johnson: cuz i was wondering..if y:w=z:x....
[15:27:32] Ben Johnson: does x just equal y?
[15:27:45] rotorhead: let me have a couple mins
[15:27:52] rotorhead: ill try to igure it out
[15:27:54] Ben Johnson: cuz then y would be the geo. mean...
[15:27:55] Ben Johnson: o.
[15:27:57] Ben Johnson: mk.
[15:29:04] rotorhead: use similar triangle
[15:29:23] Ben Johnson: uh...how?
[15:29:39] rotorhead: y perpendicular w
[15:29:50] rotorhead: using w construct z from endpoint
[15:30:18] rotorhead: create a line endpoint w to endpoint of y
[15:31:35] Ben Johnson: ......
[15:31:38] rotorhead: create perpendicular from endpoint of z to form line x
[15:31:43] rotorhead: i know its confusing
[15:31:44] rotorhead: but
[15:31:47] rotorhead: yea....
[15:31:55] rotorhead: im not sure if it works
[15:32:06] rotorhead: im most likely wrong
[15:32:18] Ben Johnson: ok...is y perpendicuar to w at its endpoint?
[15:32:48] Ben Johnson: or is y perpendicular to w at its midpoint?
[15:32:52] rotorhead: ok
[15:32:57] rotorhead: lets make it clearer
[15:33:02] Ben Johnson: mk..
[15:33:11] rotorhead: my bro is going to help out
[15:33:16] Ben Johnson: mk.
[15:33:18] rotorhead: he knows construction better than i do
[15:33:23] Ben Johnson: mk.
[15:33:27] rotorhead: because his teacher actually went over it
[15:33:31] Ben Johnson: mk.
[15:37:16] Ben Johnson: .....
[15:37:41] zhenghaoxiang joined.
[15:37:51] Ben Johnson: i think i got it.
[15:37:54] zhenghaoxiang: hello
[15:37:59] Ben Johnson: uh...hey.
[15:38:09] zhenghaoxiang: so which one did u need help on
[15:38:11] Ben Johnson: is this sheldon's bro
[15:38:26] zhenghaoxiang: yea
[15:38:30] Ben Johnson: o...um..
[15:38:34] zhenghaoxiang: im stanley
[15:38:41] zhenghaoxiang: so u dont have to keep saying sheldon's bro
[15:38:48] Ben Johnson: lol.
[15:38:49] Ben Johnson: mk.
[15:39:13] zhenghaoxiang: so did u get it or do u still need help
[15:39:32] Ben Johnson: i got it...but im not sure...so yea i guess i still need help.
[15:39:56] zhenghaoxiang: ok a hint is to look at construction 13 on p397
[15:40:16] zhenghaoxiang: look at y as if it was a
[15:40:25] zhenghaoxiang: and look at w as if it was b
[15:40:35] zhenghaoxiang: and z is like c
[15:40:36] zhenghaoxiang: in this case
[15:41:18] Ben Johnson: o.
[15:41:19] Ben Johnson: ok.
[15:41:21] Ben Johnson: thnx.
[15:41:28] Ben Johnson: :P
[15:41:36] Ben Johnson: that makes sense.
[15:41:44] Ben Johnson: is hao ur middle name?
[15:41:52] rotorhead: no
[15:41:57] zhenghaoxiang: no
[15:41:59] rotorhead: no
[15:42:18] Ben Johnson: ok....
