I hate circles (1 Viewer)

[TimeAndTide]

I just spent 2 hours getting my brain raped by cirlce geometry. Is there an easier way to do them? No matter how much i do...i dont get any smarter since there are different questions that need you to do all sorts of fancy crap to prove.

deductive reasoning. Keep doing them, you'll begin to see the proofs much quicker.

it wasnt rape coz u sed yes to doing it

practice the basic

like the real basic principles or rules in circle geo and rape them..
after that, you tend to get more confident in the latter questions

Always look for as many cyclic quads as you can find, and also a lot of people don't see alternate segment theorem when it's there, so be on the lookout for that too. Apart from that, just practice.

3u circ geo shouldn't give you any headaches. 4u, on the other hand ^^

Yes, definitely. And, if you are having trouble after that, draw a big diagram of the problem and mark everything that you know. Mark all important angles alpha, beta, gamma ..., and then see if you can deduce anything from there.

haha 3u circle geo is really basic... theres only 1 or 2 tricks max ... like constructing more lines etc...

4u on the other hand...... totally differnt

You may as well have just quoted me

dont scare me pplz, i decided to leave it 2 when im botherd
lol... fukn circles they get around.

Lets go kill socrates.

Anyway, i know a few people that struggled with circle geometry last year, and they were doing 4U. Aiya...

 

[velox]

"Aiya" Lol

 

[blackfriday]

i get belted in 3u circle geo, and i hope this year's ext 2 paper wont have any 4u circle geo. that'd just be nuts.

Use highlighters and coloured pens to trace around things eg. cyclic quads. It helps you see solutions quicker and makes diagrams less confusing.

Euclid actually, and I don't suggest it - causality.

 

[TimeAndTide]

Don't tell me what to do, or you'll have your ass handed to you.

Well, I'm still killing him.

Oh, you're such a rebel.
