# What are we learning ?

Competency in Focus: Biquadratic Equations Main idea: It is usually hard to solve biquadratic equations. However, sometimes, combining tools from geometry and strategies like completing the square it is possible to do so.

# Next understand the problem

Let a,b and c be the sides of a right angled triangle. Let $\displaystyle{\theta }$ be the smallest angle of this triangle. If $\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b} }$ and $\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{c} }$ are also the sides of a right angled triangle then show that $\displaystyle{ \sin\theta=\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}}$
