OpenStudy (loser66):

What is your problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are in the comments you have to open the file @Loser66

I saw it, but you need to speak out what you don't get from them? for the first one for example, it says area = 25 ya^2 and ask for the length of the square, right? we have a formula to calculate the area of a square, just apply and get the answer. I don't know where you stuck to guide you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula for rectangle is: p=2L+2w a=Lw and the formula for square is: p=4s a=s2

OpenStudy (loser66):

yup, area = length ^2, hence length = \(\sqrt{area}\), your area =25, hence, length = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still don't get it.

OpenStudy (loser66):

\(length =\sqrt{\color{red}{area}}\) ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still don't get it length divided by area? i'm not good at math and we just started this stuff and she just put us to work.

OpenStudy (loser66):

in \(a= s^2\), \(a\) stands for area , \(s\) stands for length

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, you must find out the length first from area

OpenStudy (loser66):

\(a=s^2\rightarrow s=\sqrt a\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? i told you i don't get math and what all this symbols mean i have to go to online school cause i get sick to often from public school and i get sick in public school cause i don't get the math and get a stomach ache. so you need to make this easier for me to understand.

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, redo a= s^2, s = sqrt a, get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (loser66):

if you don't get it, memorize it, it is a rule

OpenStudy (loser66):

|dw:1424728839064:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i don't get it then i can't memorize it and what rule

OpenStudy (loser66):

given area =25, hence the length \(s = \sqrt a = \sqrt{25}=5\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

@flowers4547 everything based on something. You need know the basic thing and accept it to learn more from it. If you want to go up stair, you need put your feet on the first step of the stair. No matter what it is, if it helps, then take it. No condition here. You can't say "if I don't get, I can't memorize", here is the rule: "if you don't memorize, you fail on tests"

i have short term memory and i get very sick when i try to learn or figure something out to hard.
