area of sphere




Well ever wondered how the Surface Area of a Sphere was derived?
Well here is a great visualisation to alter your perception.
Step 1: Cut the sphere in the following way.
Step 2: Spread the cut out part across the paper
Step 3: Collate the pieces together in the following way
Step 4: Spread the areas out separately to form a sine curve
Step 5: The area of the sine curve is the surface area of the sphere
Here’s a GIF file for better understanding.
There’s of course the generic method of calculation where the surface area is calculated by cutting the sphere into infinitesimally thin disks of varying radius stacked over one another and integrating them, but this above method is a different way to look at the same problem.

220 Loves 284.
Yes, this pair of numbers was considered as a symbol of love in medieval period, lovers used to send flowers, fruits to each other with these numbers written. Also some Arab writings say that couples used to eat apples with these numbers written and believed that it increases their affection and seduces them.
These are called amicable numbers, a pair of numbers, each of which is the sum of the factors of the other. The smallest pair of amicable numbers is (220, 284). They are amicable because the proper divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55 and 110, of which the sum is 284; and the proper divisors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71 and 142, of which the sum is 220.[1]
The first ten amicable pairs are: (220, 284), (1184, 1210), (2620, 2924), (5020, 5564), (6232, 6368), (10744, 10856), (12285, 14595), (17296, 18416), (63020, 76084), and (66928, 66992)[2]

how is tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B]?

How is tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/ [1 - tan A tan B]? Method 1: Let A = 30 deg and B = 45 deg. LHS = tan (30+45) = tan 75 = 3.732050808 RHS = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B] = [tan 30 + tan 45]/[1 - tan 30 tan 45] = [0.577350269 + 1]/[1 - 0.577350269*1] = 1.577350269/0.42264973 = 3.732050808 = LHS Proved. Method 2: tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B] RHS = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B] =[(sin A/cos A) + (sin B/cos B)]/[1-(sin A/cos A)(sin B/cos B) = [sin A cos B + cos A sin B]/[cos A cos B][1 - sin A sin B/(cos A cos B)] = sin (A+B)/{[cos A cos B][cos A cos B - sin A sin B]/(cos A cos B)} = sin (A+B)/[cos A cos B - sin A sin B = sin (A+B)/cos (A+B) = tan (A+B) = LHS. Proved. Thanks. source:Quara

There are five people in a room,i come and killed 4 how many remains?

The answer is four. I can quite confidently say that based on the wording given, the answer is four. First of all, we need to establish some things. I am assuming: All five people were alive before entering The four people that were killed are the only people that have died I can figure this out because of the last word: “remains.” “Remains” can be one of two things: a noun or a verb. As a verb , there are multiple answers to the question. First, if there are five people and four are killed, one person is left alive. However, you are in there as well, so would that be two remaining? Or should we count everyone in the room, which would be six people? Well, none of this matters. This is because the question states “How many remains?” As a verb, “remains” applies to only a few certain subjects: he/she/one (he remains/she remains/one remains). Otherwise it would be I remain/You remain/They remain/We remain. If “remain” was to be used as a verb, it would’ve said “How man
