jhonny I think that is too complex for john xD

johnnn:

lol

jhonyy9:

may be posible

jhonyy9:

ok than us pythagora

Shadow:

@jhonyy9 Using special right triangles is the quickest and simplest way. Pythag and cos work too but require more math and explaining in my opinion

jhonyy9:

dude:

|dw:1544224769199:dw| To find x, you use the same diagram as given above and remove the \(\sqrt2\) from the 3\(\sqrt2\)

dude:

So it should be 3

johnnn:

so x = 3?

dude:

Yep

johnnn:

thank you
