@AngeI

psirockin2:

Oh, that's trig! I think I can help you

Nicole:

its geometry lol

psirockin2:

oh..... well crap. My mistake

AngeI:

These sides look identical Wouldn't you just Like Take the 9 from the other side since its the same?

Nicole:

thats what I thought, I wanted to double check

psirockin2:

It looked like the 30/60/90 triangle format which was why I thought it was trig.

Nicole:

Its fine

Nicole:

@dude you agree?

dude:

Uhhh You can't assume the angle measures unless they gave you the measure specifically Use Pythagorean theorem to find LN first, once you have LN, use pythagorean theorem again to find KL

Nicole:

Can you help me?

dude:

Sure, set LN equal to x \(x^2+6^2=9^2\)

Nicole:

\[3\sqrt{5}\]

dude:

You don't have to simplify it (It's easier to keep it like this for now) \(\sqrt{45}\) Now that we have LN, lets use the Pythagorean Theorem again to find KL \(6^2+\sqrt{45}^2=c^2\)

Nicole:

9

dude:

Yeah

Nicole:

Oh so its 9

dude:

Yeah but you can't always assume its going to be the same
