@snowflake0531

100kpimpcess:

do i do 13 plus 23?

snowflake0531:

Do you know the pythagorean theorem?

snowflake0531:

\[a^2+b^2=c^2\] where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse

100kpimpcess:

we started this lesson today so no

snowflake0531:

So in this scenario we have|dw:1617920806625:dw|

snowflake0531:

Can you tell me which lengths are a and b, and which side is hte hypotenuse/c?

100kpimpcess:

i got 745

snowflake0531:

what the literal heck are you doing

100kpimpcess:

idk and isnt the c the part we have to find out?

snowflake0531:

snowflake0531:

no.... stop thinking about a b and c, just tell me, looking at hte picture I drew, which 2 are the legs of the triangle, which side is hte hypotenuse

100kpimpcess:

idk . . . the x?

100kpimpcess:

idk this stuff we just started this lesson today

snowflake0531:

|dw:1617921145715:dw|

100kpimpcess:

ok so 24 is the hypo

snowflake0531:

Yes, so now we know that 13 and x are the legs, and 24 is the hypotenuse, agreed?

100kpimpcess:

yea

snowflake0531:

So now we put 24 as C and we do \[x^2 + 13^2 =24^2\] find x

100kpimpcess:

\[\sqrt{407}\]

100kpimpcess:

im assuming

snowflake0531:

yes, and so now find the decimal form of it, and round to the nearest tenths

100kpimpcess:

20.1?

snowflake0531:

round to the nearest tenths, are you sure you its' 1

100kpimpcess:

20?

snowflake0531:

... i meant are you sure it's 1 20.1742410018 nearest tenths what does it turn into

100kpimpcess:

its 20 im right

snowflake0531:

no... nearest tenths

snowflake0531:

there's supposed to be one decimal point, but you rounded wrong

100kpimpcess:

ohhh

100kpimpcess:

so 20.1? basically

snowflake0531:

.... no.... 5 and more you round it's 2.17... what do you round it to

100kpimpcess:

2.2

snowflake0531:

yeshh

100kpimpcess:

ok im actually smart after all
