@jhonyy9
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
from this little triangle how you can finding the y value ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
Pythagorean theorem
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
yes

OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
so it'd be x2+y2=z2
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
i said little triangle with y ,65 and 25
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
ohh so
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
wait how would i find hypotenuse
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
not y is the hypotenuse there - y is a leg ,65 is the hypotenuse

OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
so 25^2+y^2=65
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
625+y^2=4,225
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
but there above you missed the exponent of 65
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
yes sorry
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
65^2

OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
25^2+y^2=65^2
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
ok.
y = ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
y^2=3,600
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
and y = ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
I'm stuck :(

60?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
why ? y = sqrt3600
so
yes perfect
do you see that you know it
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
i forgot about the square root
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
you need more much courage bc. you know but you dont believe in your knowladges
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so you know the y and now ?

OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
so is z the hypotenuse
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
for this little triangle from the right part yes
but you dont know again the value of x
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
alright so do i wait on Pythagorean theorem?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
in this case you not can using this theorem
so in this case you need to know the theorem of amplitude from the right angle on hypotenuse in a right triangle what say ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
do you know it ?

OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
no
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
this say that the length of altitude squared is equal with the product of the shadows on the hypotenuse of this altitude
so do you understand it ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
sorta
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so this mean in this case of this triangle that y^2 = 25*x
ok. ?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so how fing from there the value of x ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
find - sorry
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
i got 144 for x with a little help from my dad :D
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
y^2 = 3600 yes
3600 = 25x
x = 3600/25
x = 144
yes this is perfect
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so now you know the value of x and the value of y and you need finding the value of z
yes ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
I only need x and y for this problem yay!

ok i forgot it sorry
so do you understand it now sure right ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
Yes for the most part, I'm on to my next unit with trigonometry and I'm already lost, ill start a new question if you don't mind helping me
