Question

Please help! geometry hw!

Answer 1

do you know the Pythagorean theorem?

Answer 2

a2+b2=c2
12^2+11^2=rt 265

3^2+5^2= rt34 neither roots can be simplified.

Answer 3

back

Answer 4

there isn't any simplification going on here. the first problem is
\[\sqrt{12^2 - 11^2}\]

Answer 5

and the second one is \[\sqrt{3^2 + 5^2}\]

Answer 6

if it was a perfect square there would be.

Answer 7

if pigs had wings they could fly

Answer 8

irrelevant

Answer 9

There are a limited number of "Pythagorean triples"
These are not.

Answer 10

Thats redundant here.. This is simple geometry.

Answer 11

I really don't know what to say.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink??

Answer 12

Lol alright fine im out

Answer 13

So what's the answer? i'm confused!

Answer 14

Sorry @nanaheads I got confused and thought all these comments were from you.
According to the Pythagorean Theorem, in a right triangle with sides a, b and h, where h is the hypotenuse
\[a^2 + b^2 = h^2\]
and so
\[a = \sqrt{h^2-b^2}\]
In your first problem, h=12 and b=11. Use the second equation.
In your second problem, a=3 and b=5. Use the first equation.
