30 - 60 - 90 Triangles: GRE / GMAT Geometry

[@Rutik9999]

1000th like by me, thank u philip 🥰🤘🏻

[@mcroopa20]

the first thing i do in the morning and the last thing in the night is watching your videos.. i have watched multiple other videos but nothing like the way you explain.. best content for gre on KZbin!! Thank you

[@TheTestedTutor]

That's lovely to hear Roopa :)

[@anahitapatkar4515]

Hi Philip I'm really not one to comment on social media but you really deserve a shoutout! My GMAT is in under 10 days and I haven't been able to dedicate the time to study as much as I hoped with a very hectic job! I was panicking about how far behind I am but your videos give me a reassuring sense of calmness and confidence. Thanks much!

[@Toni-tonnes]

Wow! Thank you so much. I was so confused before this.

[@NatashaKait]

I always get 30:60:90 confused and wrong because I never understood what they meant but your explanations and examples have made them crystal clear! thank you!

[@RaissaPilon]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and have recently subscribed! I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart... these videos that you make are a rare gem on youtube and I am so so glad I found them!! Continue uploading, you are helping so many out there (including obviously me). If you have any information about the new GRE (1hr 58min long), I would love to see what you have to say about it. A million thank you's from me and surely from thousands of learning and smart students!

[@nusairashahab3764]

This is the best explanation for the special triangle. Thanks a lot tested tutor.

[@kalpanadumre1420]

You are so amazing. Your teaching method really helps to crack problems in few steps.

[@iyanuoluwaaliu5539]

You caught me! But I won’t hang my head in shame 😂😂😂 Thanks for these tricks, Phillip.

[@daminivadrevu3027]

You're amazing! Would love more videos on parallelograms, trapezoids and 3D figures, - geometry! ❤️ Love from India

[@indian_scouser_ynwa]

Great tip : Just because it looks like a right triangle, doesn't mean it is!! Fallen for it many times. Gotta peruse the question and be vigilant. Your videos, as always, are edifying and repleted with cornucopia of virtuosity.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Haha thanks ab!

[@nickw22689]

^ someone is ready for the verbal portion.

So helpful, thank you for your work!

[@T.Green.]

Thank you Phillip! Clear explanations with great example questions :)

[@aaaaammmmmyyyyyy]

Thank you so so so much. When i watch other videos i sometimes have to watch them a couple times to understand the concepts, but you explain so simply and eloquently that I understand mostly everything on the first go! Wow, also I'm so mad they never taught this box trick while i was in school haha !

[@TheTestedTutor]

Ty!!

[@86poojapatel]

your videos provide so much clarity, I love them! Thank you for making difficult concepts easy to understand!

[@TheTestedTutor]

You're so welcome pooja!

[@cardiyansane1414]

@ 13:39 example , maybe this is overthinking but I thought to use pythagorean theorem to find find line AC which will correspond with angel ABC then form an algebraic equation based on the values of the side we are given .i.e 90 degrees corresponds with 16 therefore ac can be found by forming an equation that "matches " the two . Totally different angles but they add up to 180 ?

[@hammedtukur]

Thank you Coach. You are the best.

[@jerricaasia1802]

I love thiisss soo much!!!! I understand your explanation better than how the magoosh tutor explains it. YOU ARE THE BESSTTT!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Wow, thank you Jerrica!

[@alexdeltoro4238]

Thank you The Tested Tutor for these simple quant hacks. Saves me so much time. Much appreciated!

[@WemmyMartins]

Really love your videos, and thanks for infusing some humor. You caught me on that 3rd example without the right angle

[@sumaiyaakterbanna8071]

Sir, your videos are so much helpful for my GRE preparation. I have been loved with the ways you explain the concepts and examples. You are an awesome tutor I have ever seen. Can you please make video on 45-45-90 degree triangle? Hope you will upload more videos on GRE. Love from Bangladesh.

[@juanamariasolanomesa8671]

So perfectly explained! Thankyou so much!

[@bakhtawarenterprises]

Bro your tricks are lit 🔥♥️

[@silkinaraha6496]

Another useful topic!!!so great to learn from you sir💯💯

[@TheTestedTutor]

Glad to hear that Silkina

[@akashmishra3369]

Hey Phillip, I came across a similar question as the last one in one of the practice tests and instead of giving us an angle, it was given that CB is equal to the radius of the circle, I got that question wrong as I didnt know what to do. Thanks for your trick.

[@kabitakhanal3299]

Thank u philip❤️❤️

[@lubainabhori6530]

I have learnt so much quicker through you videos. Please make a video on finding missing lengths in similar triangles (3 triangles also). Since these type of questions seems pretty time consuming. Thank you!!!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Great idea! Will do

[@michaelanaelechi54]

Thank you 🤝🤝🤝

[@rehaanahamed8571]

Lovely video man =). Hats off.

Thanks Lolu! Look out for your name in my video today!

[@awaisahmad22]

Great teacher ; Can you explain a bit the rule applied in last question where you called it right angle

[@tanzeemaruhi1148]

Super helpful! Please do a video on other shapes like cubes, cylinder etc. Much love from Bangladesh!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Noted!

[@NerdsPwnN00bs]

I really wish you’d make a list of short hand math. As an engineer grad, I know these maths skills, but they’ll just take me a while. It’ll prolly be too late for me, but for others.

[@raihans2991]

You caught me 😂. I even paused and worked it out only to press play and I am ashamed of myself

[@_xenomorph8096]

Hi thanks for these amazing videos, but i have a doudt , the dout is , So the base is basically wbere the 90°angle lies in 30 60 90 triangle.?

[@SISANHLABATHI]

Thank you so much

[@96_vaidehisudele2]

Hey Phillip! In the question @6:31 if we write x√3=12 and then x√3=2√3 it gives x=2 which changes every side of the triangle. is there something wrong with this approach? please help..

[@Aparnna-p9w]

what did you arrive at conclusion that diameter is the hypotenuse; it could be a normal side. Please explain in detail

[@AnsImran]

Thanks

[@artwithrekha9615]

Very informative.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Rekha

[@AnimeFriendship]

A lot of love for you

[@Aparnna-p9w]

How did you conclude that diameter is the hypotenuse as nothing is mentioned in the question? It could be a normal side of the triangle. Why should it be considered a hypotenuse? Please explain in detail.

[@bradleygoronson9698]

Love it! Very well done.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@loopm1599]

Hi.... how do we determine which side is the height in the last example (17: 50)?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Any perpendicular side actually

[@colleenmadden11]

For the "bring it all together question", I still do not understand how you know which side is the hypotenuse. If when looking at figures on the GRE you should know things may not be drawn to scale, how do you know whether the diameter with center O is either the hypotenuse or larger side?

[@colleenmadden11]

is the angle opposite to the diameter with the center on it always the 90 degree angle?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Diameter must be longest side

[@lonen3rd]

@@colleenmadden11 probably too late but could help someone. The angle inscribed in a semi-circle is always a right angle. So in this case, angle ACB is by default 90°.

[@hassaanraza1090]

I've watched your entire quant playlist, does this cover everything I'll need for GRE?

Nope! Much more to tell. Try to finish the Manhattan 5lb guide...
