I need help with a few questions about Pythagorean Inequalities? I will medal!

OpenStudy (krazykricket):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what \(2\sqrt{22}\) equals?

OpenStudy (krazykricket):

2 square root of 22?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I knew what \(2\sqrt{22}\) equaled, I could help you, but I don't. :P

OpenStudy (krazykricket):

I typed it in the Calculator and it popped up 9.38

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It just multiplies 2 x the square root of 22. Is that correct? @welshfella

OpenStudy (welshfella):

if its a right angled triangle the (2 sqrt22)^2 will = 5^2 + 8^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but does \(2\sqrt{22}\) equal about 9.38?

OpenStudy (krazykricket):

That's what my calculator is saying @AnswerMyQuestions

OpenStudy (welshfella):

5^2 + 8^2 = 25 + 64 = 89 now you need to find out if QS = sqrt89

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- if it is then by Pythagoras its a right angled triangle

OpenStudy (krazykricket):

Yes, It's B :) Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought...

OpenStudy (krazykricket):

I wish I could give more then one medal :(

OpenStudy (welshfella):

best thing is to square 2 sqrt22 to see if is 89

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@KrazyKricket You actually can.... >:)

OpenStudy (krazykricket):

How??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@KrazyKricket First, make sure you haven't gave anyone a medal(If you have, take it away). Then, open the same post in a new tab, so you have 2 of the same tabs open. Then you can give 2 people medals on the same post. :D

OpenStudy (welshfella):

(2 sqrt22)^2 = 2^2 * (sqrt22)^2 = 4 * 22

OpenStudy (krazykricket):

Thanks :) Now you both have a medal!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:3

OpenStudy (welshfella):

thats not 89 is it?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

by definition of the square root:- |dw:1425656488942:dw|
