$$d=\sqrt{(2+6)^2-(-3-5)^2}$$

anonymous · Answer

No, wait, I did something stupid. Nevermind.

anonymous · Answer

No, I didn't do anything stupid, i was right...

anonymous · Answer

Ugh, yes, I did something stupid...

anonymous · Answer

That subtraction should be addition.

anonymous · Answer

Yes, that, and I forgot that squaring a negative term results in a positive answer.

anonymous · Answer

This should be:
$$6\sqrt{2}$$

anonymous · Answer

I got 8sqrt(2) because both those parenthesis squared are 65

anonymous · Answer

64 I mean

anonymous · Answer

8*8=64

anonymous · Answer

I broke 128 down into factors. That left me with:
$$2*2*2\sqrt{6}$$
You are right.

anonymous · Answer

I added them instead of multiplying them... Heh heh, ty for helping me find it though.

anonymous · Answer

No problem it would be also easy to break it down as sqrt(2*64)

anonymous · Answer

Okay yes, I follow you there.
