OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want to use the pythagorean theorem to find s because it is a hypotenuse of a triangle \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im terrible at the pythagorean theorem >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's also \[8^2 + 24^2 = c^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify \[64 + 576 = c^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 640

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[640 = c\] now you need to find C on it's own

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[8^2+12^2=s^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No \[\sqrt{640}=\sqrt{c^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25.3 = c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks to both of you! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=24 d=1/2b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s=14.42
