JERRY: Mom’s cousin puts me to work

Jerry Norinsky, 1927-present.

121502_3_Describe ratio of area of an equilateral six pointed Star of David to its inscribed maximum inscribed equilateral triangle

S is to T as 4 is to 3: correct

 

121502_2_Describe ratio of area of an equilateral hexagon to its inscribed [maximum inscribed] equilateral triangle

H is to T as 2 is to 1: correct

 

121502_1_Ratio of the equilateral triangle to the inscribed [smaller] circle, with the inscribed circle touching at the midpoint of each of the three sides of the equilateral triangle.

T is to [smaller]C as (3/4)*(3^1/2) is to Pi/4

Or roughly, with radius=1, as:

.75*(1.732) is to 3.142/4

1.299 is to .786

1.299 is to .786, or about: 60% of the Triangle is the area of the Circle: correct

 

121302_Ratio of the area of a circle to its inscribed hexagon.

C is to H as Pi is to (3/2)*(3^1/2)

Or roughly, with radius=1, as:

3.142 is to 2.598

or about: 83% of the Circle is the area of the Hexagon: correct

 

121202_Decribe the ratio of the circle to its inscribed [smaller] equilateral triangle, with the inscribed triangle touching the circle in three spaces and describing three equal arcs.

C is to [smaller]T as Pi is to (3/4)*(3^1/2)

Or roughly, with radius=1, as:

3.142 is to .75*(1.732)

3.142 is to 1.299

or about: 40% of the Circle is the area of the Triangle: correct

 

120402_2_Formula for the area of the void between three similar circles touching at one point each on each other and thus describing an equilateral triangle with a smaller inscribed tri-equilateraloid for which the formula is requested.

[((3^1/2)-(Pi/2))*(r^2)]

Or roughly, with radius=1, as:

1.732-(3.142/2)=

1.732-1.571=.161 (r^2)=.161 or about 16% of the circle is the area of the specified tri-equilateraloid: correct

*consider this as (three similar circles-two inscribed hexagons)/6

 

120402_1_Formula for the area of intersection of two similar circles with each circumference touching others center.

[[(2*Pi)-((3/2)*(3^1/2))]*(r^2)]/3

*[[(2/3*Pi)-((1/2)*(3^1/2))]*(r^2)] is better

or roughly, with radius =1, as:

[[(.667*3.142)-((1/2)*(1.732))]*(1)]

(2.096-.866)=1.230 [square units]

While the area of each circle [Pi*r^2] is 3.142 the area of the intersection is 1.230. or about 39% of either circle is the area of the intersection.

*consider this as (two similar circles-one inscribed hexagon)/3

correct

 

121200_Prove the product of a four-term consecutive numerical progression plus one equals a perfect square; i.e. ABCD + 1 = [N^2] =X:

*Consider 4 consecutive numbers: A, B, C, D.

D=A+3=B+2=C+1

C=A+2=B+1=D-1

B=A+1=C-1=D-2

A=B-1=C-2=D-3

*Rearrange terms

(AxD) x (BxC) + 1 = a perfect square [N^2]

Sustitute “A” terms

ABCD+1=[N^2]=X=(A^4)+6(A^3)+11(A^2)+6A+1

ABCD+1=[N^2]=X=[[(A^2)+(3A)+1]^2]

N=[(A^2)+(3A)+1]

Q.E.D.

*Easier if you consider that AD=BC-2; BC=AD+2

AD*(AD+2)=(A^2)(D^2)+2AD=ABCD

(A^2)(D^2)+2AD+1=ABCD +1

[(AD+1)^2]=ABCD + 1

Q. E. D.

*Easier still if you consider that:

AD=N’

BC=N’+2

ABCD=(N’*N’+2)=N’^2+2N’

ABCD+1=N’^2+2N’+1

ABCD+1=(N’+1)^2

Q. E. D. correct

 

My question for Jerry_122002_given three points describing a circle [lying anywhere on the circle]; determine the radius of the circle. The condition of the given points is that two are on a line and the remaining point is on the perpendicular at the midpoint of the first line.

1. determine the distance of the points from each other; A<>B; B<>C; C<>A = x; y; z

if any two [or three] of x, y, z are equal connect the perpendiculars of these lines and measure from the

intersection to the shared point [or any of the points in the equilateral case] to determine the radius.

If no sides are equal draw a perendicular to the largest side: and then rien!?_later

If a perpendicular cannot be constructed in the area due to physical constraints then remember that the

distance from the midpoint of the given line to the outer point/the length of the line is:R'/D’

And that r’/d’ X = R/D [or R/2R or 1/2]

To solve for R find: [r should be about 50]

Remember that the perpendicular to the midpoint of any line connecting two points on a circle touches the origin of the circle (by definition).

 

Ex. r'=17; d’=77

17/77=.220779

[r’/d’] .220779 * X = [R/D] (1/2)

X = 1 / (2 *.220779)

X = 1 / (.441558) = 2.264708

77/17=4.529411

[d’/r’] 4.529411* X = [D/R] 2

X = 2 / (4.529411) = .441558

121902_Jerry suggests this formula for any N-agon on a cartesian plane with all vertices on known points.:

A. Count numbers of graph points crossed in the description of the N-agon’s perimeter

B. Count number of points enclosed (not touching the perimeter) within the N-agon

(A/2+B) – 1 = Area of the N-agon!

Ex. 1: A square: on the four points: (0, 0); (0, 2); (2, 0); (2, 2)

A= the 8 points on the perimeter

B= the sole point (1, 1) within the figure

Area = (8/2 + 1) –1 = 4; correct!

Try a more complex figure:

Ex. 2: A triangle on the three points: (0, 0); (0, 6); (3, 4) [yes, I did this purposefully]

And this formula is not viable! Perhaps Jerry needs to tweak it?

Ex. 3: A square: on the four points: (0, 0); (0, 4); (4, 0); (4, 4)

A= the 16 points on the perimeter

B= the 9 points within the figure

Area = 16 but not by this effort!

JOMARD: (Author); French Mathematician.

Monsieur Edme-Francois Jomard, 1777-1862

 

(As per A. E. Berriman) E. Jomard was a mathematician with the team of scientists with Napoleon’s Army during the invasion of Egypt.

See [B_175 and B_177].

 

Pursue cubit info in all available texts:

 

[B_174,IGNR,8.5,cvr only] CATNYP# *OBN (Jomard, E. F. Notice sur les signes ..) “Notice sur les signes numeriques des anciens egyptiens; precedee du plan d’un ouvrage ayant pour titre: Observations et recherches nouvelles sur les hieroglyphes accompagnes d’un tableau methodique des signes; Par M. Jomard…” Paris, 1819.

This text describes the origins of the decipherment of glyph numerals.

See Medinat habu pylon posterior with much numerical content.

Jomard compares the lotus glyph for 1000 to the ancient Chinese.

 

[B_175,8.5,ALL] CATNYP# *ZO-*OBL p.v. 1, no. 15.

“Description d’un etalon metrique, orne d’hieroglyphes, decouvert dans les ruines de Memphis par les soins de M. le Chevalier Drovetti, Consul General de France en Egypte.” [Microform], Paris, 1822.

This text includes one plate with a sketch of a cubit = 520mm.

Copies are 25 cents at room 100, NYPL.

The microform image is from a badly damaged text.

The cubit shows many errant? divisions.

See “Heptadoros chez les Juifs”, p. 9.

[Referring to a Cubit of 7 Palms, Jewish.]

Consider likely fractions of a short or long cubit (6 or 7 palms):

1/2*(1/14)=1/28

1/3*(1/14+1/28)=1/28

1/4*(1/7)=1/28

1/6*(1/7+1/14)=1/28

1/7*(1/4)=1/28

1/16*(1/2+1/14)=1/28

 

1/2*(1/12)=1/24

1/3*(1/8)=1/24

1/4*(1/6)=1/24

1/6*(1/4)=1/24

1/7*(1/4+1/168?)=1/24

1/16*(2/3)=1/24

 

See reference to coudee [CUBIT] noire, meqyas, p. 14.

Note many errant? divisions.

See reference to coudee de Polybe, Celle de meqyas de

Roudah, p. 19.

See Rodah.

 

[B_176,goto 174,OS,cvr,1PLT,IGNR] CATNYP# *OBN++ (Jomard, E. F. Remarques sur les signes…) “Remarques sur les signes numeriques des anciens Egyptiens; fragment d’un ouvrage ayant pour titre: Observations et recherches nouvelles sur les hieroglyphes accompagnees d’un tableau methodique des signes; Par M. Jomard…” Paris, [1819?]. [s.d.]

14 pages with one plate. No cubit image.

This is largely similar and extracted from [B_174] above.

 

[B_177,NO IMG,OS] CATNYP# *VBDB+++ (Jomard, E. F. Memoire sur le systeme…) “Memoire sur le systeme metrique des anciens Egyptiens contenant des recherches sur leurs connaissances geometriques et sur les mesures des autres peuples de l’antiquite” by E. Jomard, Paris, 1817.

(Rare) Texts with VBDB are typically housed at the science library.

This text must be requested via the NYPL annex.

Requested access 12/19/00…Text at room 219, 12/26/00.

A very large volume of metrological data.

 

[B_178=R_002,IMG,OS,SIBL] Not found in Catnyp computer records.

Instead use old catalog; volume 395, page 29, card#12.

NOT available at the Science Library.

CATNYP# OAC p.v. 7,

“Lettre a Monsieur Abel Remusat, sur une nouvelles mesure de coudee trouve a Memphis par le Chever Drovetti.” Paris 1827.

Includes one folded plate!

This text reported to be at the NYPL Science Library was not found!

It may have been stolen.

The only copies known, found by the helpful NYPL reference Librarians, are at:

Cornell Univ. Library, NY (not verified).

Wilbour Library in the Brooklyn Museum (verified 12/27/00).

My efforts of 1/3/01:

I viewed and copied much of this and note that the volume at the Wilbour Library was bound with “Etalon Metrique” [B_175] and included a detailed plate from each of the texts.

This Tome was inscribed by Jomard to Lepsius!

(as per M. St. John)

Leppy’s [B_149] Page 16, footnote 1, on the subject of three fragments found by d'Anastasi and sent to Italy.

It would seem that Jomard wrote about these three fragments of cubits on page19 of his Lettre a M. Abel Remusat, and this is also mentioned on page 208 of volume LIII of the Bibliotheca Italiana.

 

See this link with image of A. Remusat

http://www.icp.ac.ru/RAS_1724-1999/CD_PAH/ENG/23/2377.HTM

 

See this link to Remusat’s focus

http://www.septentrion.com/auteurs/SSP/rousseauthouard.html

 

See this link to “Description de l’Egypte”

http://catalognum.bnf.fr/equation.htm?Q=(MT=egypte)%20ET%20(MA=jomard)

 

(as per G. Oaten) Jomard may have stumbled upon a cubit in an Arab Bazaar in Cairo, 1824. It has been reported he began to work on the recently excavated item at that time and he may have recorded its dimensions!

This might help resolve dimensions affected by the swelling of cubits in European Museums. Probably not.

 

(My thoughts) Even the metric system was unresolved in 1827 and Jomard’s own ruler has not been subject to close scrutiny.
