hehehe im trying to get smarter.........wats wrong with that?

aripotta · Answer

..right.

hehehehe

anonymous · Answer

right well if you want to be smarter learn how to transpose equations. The equation for any length of triangle is hypotenuse law. A^2+B^2=C^2 for triangle ABC C being the hypotenuse.

anonymous · Answer

okay soo the answer would beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 224?

anonymous · Answer

no, look

anonymous · Answer

A^2 =? B^2= 5 C^2=13
So A^2+5^2=13^2
So A^2=13^2-5^2
Therefore
A= sqrt(13^2-5^2)
