Question

Def not getting the pathagorean theorem. can someone help me?

Answer 1

a^2+b^2=c^2 used to find missing sides of a triangle.. if you wish I can draw it out with examples on Twiddla

Answer 2

I know I just dont know how to distribute it I got 35= a^2+28^2 right

Answer 3

so u mean 35^2=a^2+28^2

Answer 4

ok hold on let me try that lol

Answer 5

-28^2 from 35^2 then sqrt will give your answer

Answer 6

divide it?

Answer 7

No no.. square root

Answer 8

since it's squared

Answer 9

I can show you on twiddla if you wish

Answer 10

1225=a^2+784

Answer 11

so i have 1225=784+b^2

Answer 12

same thing lol

Answer 13

then divide 1225/784= 1.56

Answer 14

441=a^2

Answer 15

Well, you wouldn't divide there.. you would simply subtract 784 from both sides

Answer 16

o my bad should have seen that

Answer 17

and come up with 441=a^2 so you'll have to use the square root of 441

Answer 18

21

Answer 19

\[\sqrt{441}=\sqrt{a^2} \]

Answer 20

Yes sir

Answer 21

21=a

Answer 22

then do I have to do any more to it?

Answer 23

Nope, you have your final answer :)
