Question

What is the value of X in the right triangle?

Answer 1

I know your suppose to use a^2 + B^2 =C^2 but i dont know the proper steps

Answer 2

Substitute a = 4
Substitute B = 6
Solve for C = X = ?

Please note: The problem statement uses "X". Your drawing uses "?". Your formula uses "C". These three things are the SAME! You will be far less confused if you use consistent notation and labeling.

Answer 3

if i knew how to do it , i wouldn't be asking.

Answer 4

4^2 * 6^2 = X^2

X^2 = 52

X =\[\sqrt{52}\]

Answer 5

4 = 16, 6=36 c= 52 , how the hell did i get \[2\sqrt{13}\]

Answer 6

1) That is not a good response. We all know that. One might be encouraging to think about it, consider the problem from beginning to end, and learn something along the way.

2) You said you wanted steps. I spelled them out. What I didn't do is the work that you should have done. Now, it's too late. Someone else already did it for you. You would have learned more if you had done it yourself.

Answer 7

alright hunny thanks, -.-

Answer 8

\[\sqrt{4 * 13}\] = \[\sqrt{52}\]

get 4 out of the radical and u get 2\[\sqrt{13}\]

Answer 9

Thanks frkd!

Answer 10

lol sorry if I messed up ur work tkhunny

Answer 11

frkd no you didnt now i understand how to do the problem

Answer 12

tkhunny's response felt condescending, which is why i replied the way I did.

Answer 13

Too bad FRKD won't be there for your exam. It would be heart-warming to see you do another, similar problem so one could be encouraged that you learned something, rather than just managed to get someone else to do your homework.

Answer 14

hey tkhunny, r u good with calc?

Answer 15

neither will you tk hunny, which is why i wanted to learn how he got the answer so i would know better. not try to show off that i know something to make someone feel bad, which again is why i called you condescending.

Answer 16

I have experience in may areas. I do annoy people, at times, when they just want an answer (contrary to forum guidelines) and they won't show me any of their own work.

Answer 17

u sometimes learn better with a walkthrough

Answer 18

I don't care, its not like i don't have the answer in front of me. if i just wanted the answer i wouldn't be on such a website.

Answer 19

we all have different ways of learning, i am a concrete learner. which is why i find it helpful to know the problem and how they got it, not to be told and looked down upon for looking for help.

Answer 20

There is not a single thing I posted the is necessarily condescending or arrogant. One can take it any way one would like, I suppose. You cannot underline a phrase and claim, ""This is looking down on me." You can't do it. Just learn! If you get a question, rather than a demonstration, is it really that hard just to answer the question?

A walk-through can be of value. The student should FIRST demonstrate where the walk-through should start. Without showing any work at all, it is very unlikely to be helpful.

Answer 21

i don't care go away, you've said what you wanted to say to prove some superiority complex. i get it go away.

Answer 22

lol

Answer 23

calm down guys

Answer 24

now, tkhunny, can u take a look at my question? :D

Answer 25

i am telling him to go away because his input is no longer welcome and he keeps talking to me i blocked him already.

Answer 26

ouch

Answer 27

There remains nothing of the nature that you accuse. Please reexamine your motivation for learning and interacting. Seriously, review what I have written on this thread and rethink how you feel about it. You will find only helpful and thoughtful instruction if you are objective. If you remember only that you chose to be insulted, the first time, that is all you will remember the second time. Please do better.

No additional calm required, but thank you for your encouragement and the vrief discussion.

Answer 28

again, i tell you regardless of your side of the story or intention. i do not care for your input. this isn't up for a debate. i came here for help you weren't helping me

Answer 29

you just want the last word.
