Algebra.Com's Answer #19128 by checkley71(8403)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25+100=125 IS OK NOW TAKE THE SQRT OF 125 YOU GET 11.180 INCHES WHICH IS THE HYPOTENUSE OF THE RIGHT TRIANGLE WHOSE OTHER SIDES ARE 5 & 10 INCHES \n" ); document.write( "HOWEVER THE SUM OF THE SQRTS ARE NOT EQUAL. THAT IS 5+10 DOES NOT = 11.180. \n" ); document.write( "ONLY THE SQUARES ARE EQUAL a~2+B~2=C~2 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
