Question 599656: Find the measure of the side of a square with a diagonal of 6 centimeters. Express the answer to the neartest tenth, and in simple radical form.
Here is what I have done:
a?^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + b ^2 = 6^2
a^2 + b^2=36
For the rounded answer, I got 4.2 after figuring out 36's square root is closer to 4 and using guess and check.
I'm confused on how to get the simple radical form(exact) answer.

Question 605314: Im working with a perfect cube. The height, width, and length are all represented by the term x. Im trying to find the length of the diagonal from the top corner of the cube to the opposite bottom corner of the cube. The dimensions for this triangle is a height of x, a base of x times the sqaure root of 2. I know the diagonal is x times the square root of three. What Im wondering is why, and how do I get that answer.

Question 610477: 5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169 I understand the mathwork involved in Pathagorean Triples and Theorems, but I am having trouble with my assignment. The assignment says to find a method or formula outside of my textbook and generate five pathagorean triples. I need to confirm validity of these pythagorean triples using the pythagorean theorem formula: a2 + b2 = c2, but Please remember that a2 + b2 = c2 is NOT the formula you're looking for to generate the triples with, it is only to verify each of the
triples (at least 5). I am confused plz help me.

Question 613364: Darlene built a small triangular patio on the back of her house.
The length of each of the equal and perpendicular sides of the patio is represented by the letter x. The longest side of the patio is 16 feet. What is the approximate measure , in feet, of x?
The answer is 11.3. I feel I need to use the pythagorian to solve, but I am comming up with x^2+x^2=256, and get lost there. help?
