HELP!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

cant really see it happening without more info; but then, I dont know it all :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking that amistre.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

theres prolly some ration geometry formula for it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^What i was thinking =) I don't know how to solve that lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like an angle or something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula is 10^2=(21y)(y), i'm pretty suree...then you simplify it?

myininaya (myininaya):

10^2=21y^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how'd you get that formula? did the question give it to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's how you solve those kind of problems. i put the numbers in i just have to simplify it.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

whats the formula to use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10^2=(21y)(y)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

10^2 = 20y i think

OpenStudy (amistre64):

10^2 = (21+y)(y) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what grade are you in ?!?!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ummm..... the 35th grade if were counting lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^win

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you guys are old? that explains it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, IM old lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm 20 xP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha oooookay..............

OpenStudy (amistre64):

10^2 = (21+y)(y); i think this is the right formula, got it from a secant tangent sitse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES! Secant tangent!!!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

100 = 21y +y^2 y^2 +21y -100 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm soooooo screwed..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-21/2 + sqrt(21^2 -4(-100))/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

therefore y^2+21y-100=0 solve as a quadratic y=-25 and y=4, however i guess since its a measurement u ignore the negative calue and only use 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Forget this. Thanks for trying, guys. I love you even though you failed me <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NICK I LOVE YOU.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

4s good when I can count right lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Forget this. Thanks for trying, guys. I love you even though you failed me <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm soooooo screwed..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES! Secant tangent!!!

10^2=(21y)(y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula is 10^2=(21y)(y), i'm pretty suree...then you simplify it?

myininaya (myininaya):

the formula is 10*10=y(21+y) 100=21y+y^2 y^2+21y-100=0

myininaya (myininaya):

oh its upside down lol

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y=\frac{-21 \pm \sqrt{21^2-4*1*(-100)}}{2} \]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y=\frac{-21 \pm \sqrt{841}}{2}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

we will ignore the negative value since we are looking for a measurement

myininaya (myininaya):

y=4
