I didn't type the question since its on the photo.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm reading that ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll try to solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will you give me a minute?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops error the question is easy use the pythogoread formula c^2=a^2+b^2 white dr is c westerfield is b and blue is a now we plug in. 144= blue^2 + 13^2 ^ that is already squared for you. ^ that is westerfield. Solve for blue. Do you know how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on previous one i forgot to square the blue blvd one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Let me try to solve,alright?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you,sir.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically 144=a^2+13^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, ty. Let me solve for A now,then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got '5' as 'a^2'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think your diagram might be wrong tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How's it wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the longest street is suppose to be the c in the theorem. white dr is sqrt (144)= 12 but westerfield is 13 which is longer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that's how it is on my sheet. That's okay. i can leave it as is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good observation, though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so... would it be '144=5^2+13^2'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is wrong either blue is longer. But for sure westerfield is longer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5^2+13^2=194 nott 144 silly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh right i forgot to square it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry bout that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wait wait..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 194?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you gave me 194 5^2+13^2 you gave that 25+169=194 You cant solve it until you fix the streets. You need to know the longest street. You cant just pick it. white dr =12 but wester field is 13. 13 should be c or blue but we dont even know what blue is. we can make blue c also to see if it works

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh right....Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fine, whatever you think is best.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's make blue C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make westerfield c and the numbers work better :) c^2= b^2+b^2 169=144+b^2 ^ wester field 13^2 is given so square it to get 169 ^ white 144 was given and already squared ^ blue now solve :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. So...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This might take a min or 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes,one second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YESSSS!
