OpenStudy (abbie):

@agent0smith I hope you dont mind me mentioning you alot :/

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

haha i don't mind. Use pythagoras theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

so \[\large x^2 + 8^2 = 68^2\]

OpenStudy (abbie):

yeah i know so x^2+64=4,624

OpenStudy (abbie):

?

OpenStudy (abbie):

what do i do next?

OpenStudy (abbie):

subtract 68 from both sides?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

if you meant 64 then yes

OpenStudy (abbie):

yeah sorry 64 then I square root both sides and I get my answer?

OpenStudy (abbie):

thnx again :)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yep

OpenStudy (abbie):

wats the square root of 4,560?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

It'd be fastest to plug in each answer into a calculator, and check which it is equal to. Screw prime factorizing that.

OpenStudy (abbie):

o.o

OpenStudy (abbie):

ok...so I find the multiples of it right?

OpenStudy (abbie):

yupp 16 and 285

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No just check them all on a calculator, it'll be faster

OpenStudy (abbie):

sqrt of those is 4 sqrt 285! thats the answer

OpenStudy (abbie):

C

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Good :)
