the 12 side

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Correct. So..do you know what the Pythagorean theorem is?

OpenStudy (ammarah):

yes

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Ok..so can ya type it out for meh?

OpenStudy (ammarah):

a^+b^=c^

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Ok! So we agree that C is the longest side?

OpenStudy (ammarah):

yes

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Ok. So then we can easily input the other variables into the equation x^2 + x^2 =12^2 Now, can ya simplify that for me?

OpenStudy (ammarah):

2x =144?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):
