hero (hero):

This is a similar question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A)1, \sqrt{8}, 9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope, pythagoreum thereom. I got the other one. Thanks! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[B) \sqrt{6}, \sqrt{11}, \sqrt{17}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[C) 1.8, 2.4, 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[D) \sqrt{4}, \sqrt{5}, 3\]

hero (hero):

I don't see the difficulty with this one. Apply pythagorean theorem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am really confused with the um, rationals. How would I simplify them so I could find the answer? I know how to find the answer, just not simplifying the rationals.

hero (hero):

It's not really that difficult. They're called "radicals" not "rationals" by the way.

hero (hero):

By the way, for D, the square root of 4 is 2. That's an easy one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. I mixed it up. It's like 9 and i'm so confuzzled by this. o.o I feel stupid.

hero (hero):

I don't think you need help with this one. Just use pythagorean theorem and a calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay then.
