ohhh how... ok, I'ma need a new calculator or something then
dude was right with 11.3 for that one
sqrt(128) = 11.3
on the other hand sqrt(160)=12.6 which is incorrect
because a^2 + 4^2 = 12^2
means that
a^2 = 144 - 16 = 128 not 160
that was my bad, sorry
Angle:
for the new question
we have that
\(x^2 + x^2 = 6^2\)
using the pythagorean theorem
this becomes: \(2x^2 = 36\)
so
\(x^2 = 18\)
you can square root 18 and get... ?
princeevee:
it's just saying "math processing error"
princeevee:
@Angle is that a glitch?
Angle:
hmm have you tried refreshing the page?

I'll repost what I just said without the LaTeX

On my phone so it's hard to explain but this is a special case where
Hypotenuse = sqrt(2) times the leg
So to find x you just need to divide the hypotenuse by sqrt(2)

princeevee:
divide by ^2?
princeevee:
6.12?
Angle:

says it's incorrect
dude:
wot
princeevee:
says 4.2 is incorrect.
Angle:
