sorry... I don't know what it is... Thats all I am saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those 2 letters are the letter "r"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( sorry hope you figure it out!

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

what is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to solve for "r"

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

ohh that part that's coming out is length 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yupp

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

just use the pythagorean theorem: (r+3)^2 = 9^2+r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u!

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

r^2+6r+9=81+r^2

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

subtract r^2 from both sides

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

6r + 9 = 81 6r = 81-9 6r = 72 r = 12
