do you know pythagoras?
Impossible. The hypotenuse is the longest side, and is across from the right angle. Right now, you have the adjacent side as the longest.

7.8?
@Smosh
6 x 6 = 36, 5x5 = 25, 25 + 36 = 61 the square root of 61 = 7.8
the triangle is not possible as smosh has mentioned
If possible at all, 6 would need to be the hypotenuse. Meaning that x would be 3.31
6*6=36 5*5=25 36-25=11 sqrt(11)=3.31
oh wait the Pythagorean theorem is only for right triangles right?
Yes.
what is the Pythagorean theorem? is this trig??
Without princess having drawn a box in the corner, we have no way of knowing. But, from the looks, it looked like it was supposed to be a right triangle. But, the hypotenuse HAS to be the longest side meaning that the triangle that was given wasn't possible a right triangle.
It could be trig, but we would have needed at least one defined angle measure.
i know what the theorem is i mean lol.
i c
smosh is right
what's the purpose of the little box in the triangle? is it to know where to measure??
The little box in the corner of a triangle shows that it is for sure a 90 degree angle.
pretty princess is having some fun with us i think
