![]() ![]() ![]() For example, if ABC is an isosceles triangle with ¯AB ~= ¯BC, you can show that ABC ~= CBA by SAS. ![]() Most of these will be proven using the SAS postulate. You will see several theorems about isosceles triangles. As long as you are careful to discuss two sides and the included angle, you'll be fine. The sides that include these angles are ¯MN and ¯PN (for QNP). Notice that the angles you are focusing on are MNP and QNP. Use the rflexive property of ~= to obtain another set of congruent sides: A side is congruent to itself. The congruence of one set of sides is given. Because ¯PN ¯MQ, you know that right angles are formed. Solution: The game plan is to make use of the SAS Postulate.You get out your mathematical detective's magnifying glass and notice that ∠O and ∠G are marked with the tell-tale little squares, □, indicating right angles.Īha! These are two right triangles, because by definition a right triangle has one right angle. You have two suspicious-looking triangles, △MOP and △RAG. So, we have proven the HL Theorem, and can use it confidently now! HL theorem practice proof We originally used the isosceles triangle to find the hypotenuse and a single leg congruent, and from that, we built proof that both triangles are congruent. So, all three interior angles of each right triangle are congruent, and all sides are congruent. ∠AJC ≅ ∠CJK ( side JC was the angle bisector of original ∠AJK) ∠A ≅ ∠K (they were angles opposite to the legs in accordance with the Isosceles Triangle Theorem) Now verify that AC ≅ CK and all the interior angles are congruent:ĪC ≅ CK (the altitude of the base of an isosceles triangle bisects the base, since it is by definition the perpendicular bisector) So, we have one leg and a hypotenuse of △JAC congruent to the corresponding leg and hypotenuse of △JCK. We know by the reflexive property that side JC ≅ JC (it is used in both triangles), and we know that the two hypotenuses, which began our proof as equal-length legs of an isosceles triangle, are congruent. We have two right triangles, △JAC and △JCK, sharing side JC. We have two right angles at Point C, ∠JCA and ∠JCK. That altitude, JC, complies with the Isosceles Triangle Theorem, which makes the perpendicular bisector of the base the angle bisector of the vertex angle. ![]() Recall that the altitude of a triangle is a line perpendicular to the base, passing through the opposite angle. Can you guess how?Ĭonstruct an altitude from side AK. We are about to turn those legs into hypotenuses of two right triangles. We know by definition that JA ≅ JK, because they are legs. To prove that two right triangles are congruent if their corresponding hypotenuses and one leg are congruent, we start with an isosceles triangle. Once proven, it can be used as much as you need. We have to enlist the aid of a different type of triangle. So we have to be very mathematically clever. Of course you can't, because the hypotenuse of a right triangle is always (always!) opposite the right angle. Hold on, you say, that so-called theorem only spoke about two legs, and didn't even mention an angle?Īha, have you forgotten about our given right angle? Every right triangle has one, and if we can somehow manage to squeeze that right angle between the hypotenuse and another leg. The Hypotenuse Leg Theorem, or HL Theorem, states If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. The included angle has to be sandwiched between the sides. Recall the SAS Postulate used to prove congruence of two triangles if you know congruent sides, an included congruent angle, and another congruent pair of sides. The converse of this, of course, is that if every corresponding part of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. HL Theorem CPCTCĬPCTC reminds us that, if two triangles are congruent, then every corresponding part of one triangle is congruent to the other. Usually you need only three (or sometimes just two!) parts to be congruent to prove that the triangles are congruent, which saves you a lot of time. Notice the squares in the right angles.Įvery part of one triangle is congruent to every matching, or corresponding, part of the other triangle. Notice the hash marks for the three sides of each triangle. Notice the hash marks for the two acute interior angles. Here are two congruent, right triangles, △PAT and △JOG. It is shortened to CPCTC, which is easy to recall because you use three Cs to write it. CPCTCĬPCTC is an acronym for corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. The longest side of a right triangle is called its hypotenuse. ![]()

![]() ![]() Sure, it comes razor sharp out of the box but you can sleep easy knowing that this sharpness is not going to disappear anytime soon. It’s not going to lose its edge for quite some time. Benchmade is able to treat this D2 to about 60-62 Rockwell. This is a high carbon steel that’s technically not a full stainless steel (though it has sufficient chromium to qualify as “semi-stainless”) but what sets it aside is the hardness. In reading my Knife Steel Guide you’ll know that D2 tool steel is extremely durable with a fantastic ability to hold an edge. The Bladeīenchmade opted for D2 tool steel on this double-edge spear-point dagger blade, with a chisel grind and a matte satin finish (also available in black coated). I can’t fault the blade to handle ratio – it’s perfect. It’s larger than your average EDC for sure but still carries a simple, elegant feel. I found the Infidel fit very well in my medium-sized hands. The blade is only 0.118” thick while the handle is a good 0.59” thick, providing a nice, solid grip which feels good in the hand. ![]() Size and Weightīenchmade’s Infidel weighs in at just under 5.0 ounces, and has a 3.9” blade length with a 4.8” handle. There’s also a partially serrated option. The standard Benchmade Infidel OTF 3300 model is available with either a dual plain edge blade or a blade with BK1 tactical black-coated blade. Benchmade also released two limited edition “Gold Class” Infidel OTFs, featuring Damascus steel instead of the D2 Tool steel but you’ll be hard pressed to find those models retailing today. There are several different editions of the Infidel today, including single-edged models and the Mini-Infidel 3350 with a 3.1” blade. With its launch MSRP of $450 Benchmade was clearly targeting the top end of the OTF segment and aiming directly at competitors like Microtech and Protech. The Infidel has a double action which provides automatic two-way movement through a single button or lever. With single action the blade will deploy automatically but you have to manually retract it back into the handle. OTF knives come in either a single or double action mechanism. Make sure you review your state’s restrictions before considering this type of knife for your collection. The Infidel is a fully automatic knife which meets the definition of both a switchblade and a dagger – terms that appear regularly in state legislature. The market segment is squeezed because of the legal restrictions imposed on these knives by many states in the US. The OTF market is a niche largely aimed at military, law enforcement or emergency medical tech’s who needed blades that could be deployed swiftly and safely. Benchmade first introduced the Infidel 3300 back in 2006 and it’s made quite a splash since then. ![]() ![]() ![]() An eye icon will blink or open to indicate the player's detection level by the enemy.

Assigning a color to a tag causes all cards in that group to be colored in the list view. Tags also help with highlight colors in Bus圜ontacts. Tags can be used to send emails to contacts (similar to the Contacts app) but with a few nice options for things like BCC or individual emails. Tags are similar to the OS X contacts application except Bus圜ontacts raises the bar a bit. The “Notes” field even syncs with Fastmail and ends up on my iOS devices too. Click the button to add a time stamp and then start typing. The unassuming “Date and Time” button on each contact is perfect for documenting calls right within the contact card. I really like the clever way Bus圜ontacts handles notes for contacts. Things like quick entry and contact details are hidden away inside of the application when I really need them while I’m writing an email. Bus圜ontacts has so much good stuff that I feel like it needs to be available everywhere as a menu bar helper application. Which brings me to one of the things I’d like to see change. The Bus圜ontacts quick entry field comes in handy but I wish it was everywhere. There are a ton of special attributes, including private tags that do not sync with the calDAV server. I really appreciate the thought that went into building up a list of suggested fields even if I only use a small percentage. The Restīus圜ontacts sports all of the usual contact information but adds a lot more as an optional. It uses the end point and has worked reliably for months.

It’s genius.Ĭlicking on a field while editing it offers up options to copy the edit to the linked contact cards too. If the cards are from two different calendar servers then they both get all the same information and Bus圜ontacts merges the view so there is only one card shown. Select the contacts and the Merge and Link function will combine all information between the two cards. They are both working well but are usually out of sync with each other. I use iCloud and the new Fastmail cardDAV contact syncing. My absolutely favorite feature of Bus圜ontacts is the Merge and Link function. ![]() It’d be nice to have my mail history in the Bus圜ontacts sidebar too. It’s pretty standard but it’s a bummer for me as a MailMate user. Unfortunately, Bus圜ontacts only supports Mail.app. I like the “Journal” features which creates a calendar event in Bus圜al and drops me right into the notes field for that event. Selecting a contact, I can create an event or reminder. Integration between Bus圜ontacts and Bus圜al is well done. I like that I can reply right from Bus圜ontacts too. I didn’t test the Facebook or LinkedIn integration. The calendar information shows all past and future appointments, which is spectacular for reviewing projects. Click on a contact and in the side bar you can see your previous conversations or just what they’ve been tweeting. The first thing that caught my attention with Bus圜ontacts was the integration of messages, mail and Twitter history for contacts. Bus圜ontacts nails everything I use a contact manager for and adds some clever bonus features. I just want it to make my life easy and I want to spend as little effort and time as possible making it work. It’s not flashy but I don’t really want a flashy utilitarian tool. Those are just a few token benefits beyond, you know, actually finding a phone number when you need it.īus圜ontacts makes organizing and editing contact information almost easy. The map app will highlight people and businesses in search on on the map. Phonetic spellings can also help Siri to recognize a spoken contact. Siri can recognized relationships if you have them defined. But, a well groomed address book is a powerful enabler. It’s not going to be enjoyable and the most you can hope for is to end up where you started. Much of the time, managing contacts in the address book makes me think of Sisyphus waking up every morning and thinking about his day. After using Bus圜ontacts on my Mac for the past 6 months, I can declare it’s the most I will ever enjoy managing contacts. ![]() ![]() ![]() age = 35 įprintf('My age is %f and height is %f.', age, height) Just take a look at the very basic example below about the use of the ‘fprintf()’ command in Matlab®.
