Sorry I don't remember this stuff:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's okay, thank you for trying!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have heard of pathagorome therome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a2+b2=c2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14^2+5^2=m?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Frostbite it tht right i can really tell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is always the hypotenus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*hypotenuse

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

you use the property of similar triangles triangles ABC and CDB are similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it lagged for me my internet sux srry

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

the corresponding sides are in the same ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still don't get it /: Is there an equation I have to do?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

so DC / m = m / AC and DC = 5 and AC = 19

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

similar triangles have the same shape that is corrsponding angles are aequal in the diagram < BDC = <ABC <ACB = <DCB so other angls are also equal

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

so going back to the formula 5 /m = m /19 m^2 = 5*19 = 95 so m = sqtt 95 (Option B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

do u follow that OK?
