OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

|dw:1374533094098:dw| a^2 +13^2 = 26^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats my answer?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

solve for a, we are not here to give answers. we are here to help:)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

a^2=26^2-13^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does those arrows mean

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\[a^2\] = a^2

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so you have to solve for a \[a^2 = 26^2-13^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answer should be the square root of 507 right

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yes, and you would take the positive square root because the negative one does not make sense in our context

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
