diagram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You Need a picturee ?

OpenStudy (nottim):

you said: "The diagram below shows two similar flower beds"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (nottim):

JUST the small flowerbed right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes sir

OpenStudy (nottim):

what ahve you done so far?

OpenStudy (nottim):

with my feeble mind, I can only tell yo uthe length ofthe side opposite the small garden.

OpenStudy (nottim):

which is 80-24-24

OpenStudy (nottim):

Wait, does this involve TRIG ratios, Cos Law, Sine Law, all that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do not know but this one problem is about to make me go insane,i dont get it at all

OpenStudy (nottim):

do you know about trig ratios, Cos Law, Sine LAw? What grade is this? What unit is this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no,im guessing i don't know nothing i failed the damn class,&& its geometry..

OpenStudy (nottim):

wat grade is this?

OpenStudy (nottim):

is the smaller triangle suppose to be proportional to the larger triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:/

OpenStudy (nottim):

cause if so, the larger triangle is 4 times the 'size'/perimeter of the smaller triangle.

OpenStudy (nottim):

do you know about z-law, c-law and u-law? Seriously, what grade is this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you keep asking me what grade this is,geometry has no grade limit to it.... and i dont know none of this if i did i wouldnt be asking,im just saying not trying to be rude

OpenStudy (nottim):

Geometry has no grade? There's different levels of understanding...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry to bother you,have a nice night.

OpenStudy (nottim):

Anyways, ahve yo uread any of the stuff I gave you? I think one of them helps a lot.

OpenStudy (nottim):

Don't be rudely passive-aggressive please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ^^ ?

OpenStudy (nottim):

Seriously though, did yo usolve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope i gave up on it

OpenStudy (nottim):

oh....I kidna gave yo uthe answer tho...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how,i gave you the answer choices and that was nothing near.

OpenStudy (nottim):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (nottim):

Well, if you have any more need of help, call out!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont even know how this junk work...but ehhh ok

OpenStudy (nottim):

Here, I'll compile the hints: 80-24-24 (with my feeble mind, I can only tell yo uthe length ofthe side opposite the small garden.) cause if so, the larger triangle is 4 times the 'size'/perimeter of the smaller triangle.

OpenStudy (nottim):

there you go! Don't give up so easily. Soldier up eh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay Thanks But I Failed The Test!
