If you can not do this, I was wondering if you could explain to me why that is? Thank you! \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #174389 by HeyEv(4)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1^2 + 1^2 = 1^2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it would not work out because 1 squared is 1, \n" ); document.write( "and 1 plus one equals 2. \n" ); document.write( "2 doesn't equal one. \n" ); document.write( "______________________________ \n" ); document.write( "the only way 1 could be close C would be to find the square root of .5 because .5+.5 = 1 \n" ); document.write( "right? \n" ); document.write( "well the square root of .5 is .7071067812 \n" ); document.write( "if you were to round to .71 \n" ); document.write( "you'd get\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".5041 + .5041 = 1.0082 \n" ); document.write( " |
