OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I beg of you.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

which ones do you need help on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um, all of them except number one on page b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

do you know the formula for the area of a square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no,i dont remember

OpenStudy (aripotta):

l x w = a, remember? but for a square, since the length and width are equal, you can just say s^2 = a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. i was wondering however about the problems at the top of page b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

oooh i misread what you said. sorry, i'm tired

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tnx for taking a look

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so 7^2 + 2^2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that no one on page b?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yea. number 1, page b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks:)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

do you know what the answer is? or what you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup,7.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

about

OpenStudy (aripotta):

ehh, i'd put 7.3 unless your teacher asked you not to round?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, i am allowed to use a calc, and it said 7.2......

OpenStudy (aripotta):

7.2801..., that's why i said 7.3, but put 7.2 if you want :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill put 7.3:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, another one i need urgent help on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

number two on page b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

mmk, which one is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then, number two on page a., plus number three on page a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my most urgent four.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

4 on a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean two and three on a

OpenStudy (aripotta):

wait, so you don't need help on 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

technically,all of them i need help on, but im doing four today and waking upmearly tomorrow to do the others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unless you fel kind enough to help memonthem all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i doubt it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since ur tired

OpenStudy (aripotta):

we're doign the same thing as the other one i posted

OpenStudy (aripotta):

doing*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whic one is that?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

that's number 4 on page a

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so 13^2 + 12^2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, 11.48 144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

155.48?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

remember Pythagorean theorem... a^2 + b^2 = c^2 so 13^2 + 12^2 = c^2 169 + 144 = c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (aripotta):

313 = c^2, so what does c equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are a and b aleeady squared?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o square 313

OpenStudy (aripotta):

right, so what's the square of 313?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9769

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from google cqlculator

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i meant square root, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i entered '313^2' into the search engine

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yea, i know what you did, but this is what you need to do: \[\sqrt{313}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh duh. *hits own face*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17.69

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay:) *writes*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thatd be which 1?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

that was 4 on page a

OpenStudy (aripotta):

that was what you used to get the answer to number 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ari, srry, im having trouble with number 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o

OpenStudy (aripotta):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tnx:)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ari, the one you just hlped me on, was that the one withbthencoordinate points listed or the one about george?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so the hypotenuse is 17...do you see how i got the the lenght of the one leg?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and tnx

OpenStudy (aripotta):

with the coordinates listed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tnx,let me look at ur most recent snapshot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.mcan you explain what x is?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yea, i was just asking you if you knew how i got 15 for the length of the one side? because if you know this, you can basically do any question similar to this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh.no. how?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

did you notice how the area of that square was 225? how can we find the side length of a square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sq root oof area

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep, and that's how we got 15, does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes,ma'am

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so if we know the hypotenuse is 17, and a leg is 15...how can we go about finding the other leg length?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15+x=17?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

what's the Pythagorean theorem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^2+b^2=c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15^2+b^2=17^2?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay so i solve?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

if you know how to. show me what you think you do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.8-4.1

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you're doing the square root again!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ii mean the other way around

OpenStudy (aripotta):

don't! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry :s im addicted to sqnroots i think
