m = x1 + x2/2, v1 + v2/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

another in a series of fine fine worksheets i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which of these problems are you doing? the last two are not exercises, they are formulas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second to last one is the formula for the midpoint of a line segment if the two points are \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) then the midpoint is \[m=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula below it is the distance formula for the distance between two points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(I did the rest)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are not questions to answer, they are just formulas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know why there are there labelled #5 as if you were supposed to do something with them, they are formulas, not questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then why is it on there? this teacher is weird about her worksheets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*they are there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the triangles??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOUR TELLING ME?!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

weird doesn't really describe it don't they believe in text books?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no of course not;) 21st century

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they should really learn how to write math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

arrogance is what it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FF: She's actually a bio teacher

OpenStudy (anonymous):

She's done this for the past 3 sections

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i remember you telling me this i will give her the benefit of the doubt and believe that she knows and can teach bio she should stick to that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in any case the two things under #5 are formulas, not questions to answer, so there is nothing to do there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she must be allergic to writing instructions on her work sheets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahahahahahaha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're perfect. love you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(blush) love you back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if i screenshot this??? haha jk i would NEVEr. I respect teachers, but she doesnt know what the heck to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wouldn't if i were you but i am anonymous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was def kidding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she will learn in time hopefully

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAIT what with the triangles she provided do you think she wants me to solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess so yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are very famous triangles do you know them ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll take that as a "NO" ok we can do them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isoces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

iscocles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both are solved via pythagoras for a right triangle with legs \(a, b\) and hypotenuse \(h\) you have \[a^2+b^2=h^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no they are not "isosceles" they are "right" triangles isosceles means two sides are the same length these are right triangles, meaning one of the angles is a right angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you use \[a^2+b^2=h^2\] to find the side you don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example in the first one you have \[x^2+3^2=5^2\] or \[x^2+9=25\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 9 from both sides and get \[x^2=16\] which means \(x=4\) this is the famous "3 - 4 - 5 " right triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the next one, \(x\) is the hypotenuse (longest side) so your only job is to solve \[10^2+24^2=x^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

34?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or \[100+576=x^2\] \[676=x^2\] \[x=\sqrt{676}=26\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really thats all???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not \(34\) but rather \(26\) this is another famous right triangle "5 - 12 - 13" if you double each side you get "10 - 24 - 26" yes, that is all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got all the other ones?
