OK serious now. In circle O with radius 12 and the measure of arc AB=90 What is the length of the arc area of sector AOB and area of region bounded by line and arc AB?

The arclength is one-fourth of the circumference, since the angle AOB is 90º. Similarly the area of the sector is one quarter the area of the circle.

I need to do a presentation on something statistics-related. The requirements for the subject are extraordinarily vague. Any suggestions?

Something like How to Lie with Statistics. Published something like 60 years ago, still relevant. And needed.

I need some sources for arguing against people raging about lack of realism in sci-fi. Two of the sites have to be stuff like .gov or .org. I already got something from Project RHO. I COULD use another page there as a different source, but I have to get 14 tidbits per source.

We don't have that as a work, that's a redirect to the trope.

Me, Deboss? I potholed the trope because I know we don't have the book.

Tzetze: as an alternative you can talk about the history of Student's t if you bring enough Guinness for everybody.

I could do a test of the statistical likelihood of being arrested for an MIP. >_>

I need help. Do any of you know where the sonnet begins in romeo and juliet that isn't in the prologue? >_.

Act I, Scene 5. Romeo and Juliet have a shared sonnet. It's the very first lines they say to each other.

ROMEO
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

JULIET
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

ROMEO
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

JULIET
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

ROMEO
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

JULIET
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

ROMEO
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.

Okay, I'm using Matlab and it's residue command for transfer functions. It's spitting them out in pairs, and I know this fits into some sort of formula with sins and cosines, but I can't remember the actual formula. Any one know it?

Does someone want to name a foreign effort - military, religious, economic, whatever - within the last 200 years intended to change China? It's not a big deal, but I can't seem to pick just one :/

Those might be too early they were in the mid 19th C.

WW 2 might work if that is too early.

I need a short (half a minute to a minute and a half, but I could cut down a longer one) video or sound clip demonstrating sexism/ gender inequality in video games, or the relative absence of women in computer/technology related careers.

It doesn't need to be something I made, just something off youtube.

Thanks!

Also, any Mario/Zelda style "Rescue the helpless princess" games you can think of would be helpful.

These almost certainly aren't what you're after, but they're decently thought out and offer a perspective other than "video games are misogynist"/"no they aren't stfu": [1] [2]

As for games where you have to save the princess, yes, we have that one. tongue

Ughh... so, I found one (shii the female wii) it's about a minute and eighteen seconds long and in german, but it makes plenty of sense. Unfortunately, the school computers are messing with me. sad Could some kind, selfless troper imbed it onto the forum, so I might still be able to show it? I would be forever indebted to you.

Alright, so I need to choose a topic for an assignment dueee *looks at clock* 5 hours and 21 20 19 minutes from now. I have to write either an opinion column or an article, about a self-chosen topic related to media (movies, internet, reality tv-shows, almost anything goes really). It should be easy for an internet-addicted person like myself, but I just can't seem to find an interesting topic that hasn't been done a 100 times before. Help pwease?

I need math help! If the base edge of a pyramid is 18 and the lateral edge is 15 what is the length, the height, the Lateral area, the Total area, and the volume?

The assuming that it has a square base, then the distance from the base edge to the center is nine, from which we can deduce by using the pythagorean theorem that the height is 12. By using a similar method, we deduce that the vertical of the side triangles is also 12. This means that each lateral side has an area of 108, so the lateral area is 432. The Total Area is 756. The volume is Base Area * Height / 3 = 1296. Hope that helps.
