@CrazyCountryGirl, What reasoning did you use to arrive at your answer choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't remember. I did this problem like 4 hours ago.

hero (hero):

Which means, if you've done it once, you can do it again.

hero (hero):

If you've done it once but have forgotten it, the knowledge you lost is of no use to you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind, I just wanted you to check it. I don't need it taught. I have a tutor to help me with that. If you can't check it, I'll see if someone else can. I know it wasn't A or D though.

hero (hero):

How do you know A or D is not correct?

Where is your tutor now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I'll have to agree with Hero here.

hero (hero):

By the way, where is the "figure below"?

Basically, here is what the question is asking: Which of the following is true: A) \(4 + 3 = 5\) B) \(9 + 16 = 25\) C) \(\sqrt{9} + \sqrt{16} = \sqrt{25}\) D) \(\sqrt{25} = 9 + 16\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is true... I already asked someone if that was it. It was my first answer, but they said it was wrong... o_o

You use this site at your own risk. The users here are all volunteers. Not everyone knows the correct process/procedures for arriving at a correct result. Also everyone makes mistakes. Never blindly accept anyone else's reasoning. This is why it is important to do things such as 1. Get a second opinion 2. If someone gives you an explanation, try to reason your way through it to find discrepancies, fallacies, illogical statements. 3. Find users who you feel are trustworthy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK... I feel you are trustworthy. :) Was my first answer right? B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hero

hero (hero):

Yes, B is correct.
