how to find "x"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seeing as this is a side angle side triangle and we have a 90 degree triangle there could be many ways to solve it but the most convenient in this case is the formula \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

OpenStudy (mrnood):

\[\sqrt{x}=x^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}\] \[\log x ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}= \frac{ 1 }{ 2}\log x\] So you can get sqrt x from the log I don't think there is an analytical way. This method involves tables/calculator - so you might as well use a calculator to get the root in the first place

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where c represents the hypotenuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10^{2}=100\]\[7^{2}=49\]\[100+49=149\]\[\sqrt{149}=12.20\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

How did you do the last part @smosh

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

or how do I do it with a calculator??

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

your answer is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Type 149 in calculator and press the sqrt sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or type the square root sign then press 149

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or, you could put sqrt(149) in Google, and it'll do it for you.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

what is the square root sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{}\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

oh sweet thanks <3 the medal goes to smosh, sorry all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On computer's calculator.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

lol wow! putting in the extra work lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's no problem. I can do pictures like that very fast.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

ty vm :)

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

how dod you do it? snipping tool?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used prt scrn, and pasted it to paint. Then, I just selected the part of the picture I wanted, and hit crop.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

snipping tool is much faster, you should try it, type in snip in the search bar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm also good at messing with the appearance of SS's on my computer. Just a sec.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I could have even made it look like I was a mod, but that takes more effort.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):
