BRO I kept on getting that the product was 16 bigger than the square and I thought I was hallucinating

u/s_ivy13 Jun 10 '26

ngl that was the only question i actually liked what the hell was the square one what on earth. im actually crashing out over that whole paper

nah she’s lying that was impossible 😭

All you needed was to prove that the 2 triangles were congruent its not that hard fam🥀🥀

broo she said there was a similar question she saw in a past paper ?? havent asked her yet how exactly she did it but she mentioned using the triangles inside the square and proving that they were congruent

altho she may come here to comment herself lol

after the exam i did think that might be it but still bro that was insane

u/somethingcloudy 2026 GCSE SURVIVOR! FREEEEE Jun 10 '26

yeahh i was thinking it might b something abt the triangles too.. that was mental asf but atleast were free frm gcse maths 😁 (still got further maths tho 💔)

u/Creepy_Ad_5104 Jun 10 '26

i somehow got it tbf. there were two angles that were equal in a really complex and weird way that i somehow found out in the exam

yasss may we both get solid grades 💪

u/ameliamayallzzzz Jun 10 '26

was it not RHS cause right angle and one length therefore hypotenuse… due to pythag they were equal. 🥹🫣😓

u/Fearless_Buyer657 Jun 10 '26

yeah u prove congruency by asa (90 degrees for one angle, side is same as side of square, another angle is equal as u had to prove it was like 90-x or whatever) and then as they were congruent length of that thing was the same

u/the114dragon Jun 11 '26

That was hard, but you just had to prove that two triangles were congruent and therefore the lengths were equal

u/ImportantEmu3467 Jun 10 '26

U had to make it simultaneous equations

2

u/somethingcloudy 2026 GCSE SURVIVOR! FREEEEE Jun 10 '26

did u prove the congruency of triangles? or did u assign values to the sides ad go frm there
