Hi- thanks for watching and for the comment. This does sometimes trip students up at first, as they want to measure the distance along the ground. However, the distance from the hot air balloon to the house is the length of a line segment connecting those two points (the balloon and the house). If you were to draw that line on the picture it would go through the air, not along the ground. The distance you're thinking of (along the ground) is the distance from a point on the ground directly under the balloon to the house. Does that make sense?

Oh wow- so glad it helped you out. Thanks for letting me know 😀

You’re very welcome- glad you found it helpful 😀

You’re very welcome, glad to know it helped you out 😀

How fun 😀

Oh wow- this is an old video 🤣 Yeah, that was a really fun day 🤙

Why thank you 😄

Thank you so much 😄

I'm not sure what you mean, I don't see any questions with 64 as the answer.

Best to ask in the Telegram group- my wheel's been setup for 3 years and I have no idea what's available now.

@@RealMikeDobbs ok

Alright- glad to hear it man 👍

That's fair 🤣 I'm better at math than at drawing, but as I always tell my students: it doesn't matter if your picture is good, it only matters if it's useful.

Oh wow- thank you so much ❤️ Nothing to be afraid of by the way- it’s the same as anything else. Scary at first because we don’t know what we’re doing- but once you understand it’s no big deal- keep at it 😀

Thanks for watching. In that case, use Pythag to find the hypotenuse and then proceed as shown in the video. Remember, anytime you have two legs of a rt triangle you can always find the 3rd with Pythag 😄

There's a telegram group called Island Ridez if you want to check it out. t.me/lirides

Tnx! I will check it out when I get out of work today. Is it mainly only V11 riders? I have the V11Y, V5F and mten3. Mark

@@EUC_Senior I don’t really ride with the group anymore (I mostly cruise around with my wife these days), but I’m still friendly with them. Probably mostly higher powered wheels than the V11, but they welcome all types of riders 😀

Cool! I will try to check out the group with the link that you sent me. Happy riding! Mark

Hey Mike, I was just looking up this telegraph program thing and it’s asking for my phone number then on the IOS App Store the app wants money per month. I’m getting red flags with this method. If you have telegraph up and running, can you just pass a message along to that group? Or think of something else?

Oh, I was very proud of that idea actually 😄 It was a very simple connection, but did a great job. I took some braided rope and fastened it to the axle of the Blokart with a Clove Hitch. Then I took a short section of PVC (or maybe a coupler) and passed the rope through the PVC, around the copper yoke, back through the PVC, around the Blokart axle... repeat this 4 or 5 times until the rope fills the width of the PVC, then attach the loose end to the Blokart with another Clove Hitch. Fast to setup and take down, and the connection allowed for rotation and some lateral movement.

You’re very welcome- glad to know it helped you 😀

Thank you so much! Glad you found it useful 😀

That's terrific, I'm glad you found it helpful 😄

Thanks very much 😄 Sounds like an interesting application.

That's terrific, I'm glad it helped you. Thanks for letting me know 😄

That's terrific- so glad it helped you 😄

That's fantastic- thanks for letting me know 😄

I suppose it depends who you ask- we certainly think so 😎

Using electric bikes defeat the whole purpose 🤔🤔

I guess that depends on your purpose. My purpose is to get outside, spend time in nature, have fun, make memories, and share it all with some great friends. We're checking all those boxes every time we go out 🤙 *It's also more physical than you might think- pretty similar to skiing or snowboarding; and we're developing our balance and proprioception.

Well, in order to construct a translation you need a vector to define the translation, so you would always be given a vector in a test situation. You can certainly create your own vector and shape for practice- but in a testing situation I would expect both to be provided to you.

For my class project we were given a black piece of paper and told to make our own “unique shape” and do all 4; tessellation, rotation, translation, and dilation.

Sounds like a good project 😄

Thank you 😀

That’s terrific to hear, I’m so glad it helped you. Thanks for letting know 😀

Wow- so cool that people from all over the world can benefit from these. Glad to hear it helped you out- thanks for letting me know 😄

That’s terrific- thanks for letting me know 😀

Ah yes, you are correct, I haven’t included those shapes. I make these videos primarily for my own students, and the kite isn’t in our curriculum. We do cover Isosceles trapezoids later in the unit, so I guess when I made the video I wasn’t up to that yet. Thanks for pointing that out 😀

Thank you so much 😀 It’s great to hear the videos are helping you.

Oh that's terrific. Thanks so much for letting me know, I'm glad the video helped you understand 😄

Why thank you 😀

Hey, thanks for watching and commenting 😀 I’m not sure I follow exactly what you’re saying. In practice it’s much easier to measure angles in real life than it is to measure distances. I suppose it all depends on what you’re trying to do. These days if you wanted to know how tall something is you could just send up a drone with an altimeter- but if you go back 40 years or so, it would be much easier and more practical to measure a distance away from the tree on the ground and then measure the angle of elevation and use some trig. That’s more or less how all maps were created before we had GPS. Surveyors would pace or measure out distances along the ground, and then measure angles between points to calculate other distances. Climbing tall objects also introduces many risks that walking on the ground does not. It’s also worth noting these are sanitized examples designed to allow HS students to practice basic skills and don’t accurately represent the many additional complications you would encounter in the real world. For example, over long enough distances you need to start taking the curvature of the earth into account depending on how accurate you need your eventual calculations to be.

Glad it helped you out, thanks for letting me know 😀

Awesome! Glad it helped you out 😀

You’re very welcome 😀

Thanks!

I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with that calculator. If you google the manual you should be able to find how to do it, or search RUclips for a video.

Hey- that’s awesome! Glad it helped you out 😀
