I would think that 'smaller' when referring to commitment is wrong... commitment should always be 'less'...
Please correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that feelings (like commitment, love, passion, etc.) are thought of in terms of more(greater) or less, as unquantified substances.

If you want a shortcut for when you have only the side of an equilateral triangle, the height is always ((sq.root3)/2)*s where s is the side of the triangle and thus the area is always ((sq.root3)/4)*s^2

Question on A.P. formula
In an increasing sequence of 10 consecutive integers the sum of the first 5 integers in 560. What is the sum of the last 5 integers in the sequence? now the approach given in the answer is fairly straightforward, saying that sum of first five integers from x,x+1,x+2,x+3 & x+4 gives us the equati...

Okay, say we use the same image above, but remove F. We have Pentagon with points ABCDE. In order to solve, we now use 5C3, correct? I guess it makes sense. Say we have square ABCD and ask how many triangles, then we use 4C3, correct? Thanks in advance. You guys are awesome. 5C3 is only 10 so that ...

yes 6C3=20 is right, but to think of it conceptually for those who are confused, I would say look at it like this: 5 triangles for F as a point (using each of the sides of the pentagon as a base) plus, 3 triangles for EVERY point of the pentagon (see the figure... eg. for point C, ACE, ECD, and BCA)...
