Question 241181: Hello.
I am doing a geometry problem and I have to find the measure of the sides and classify each triangle by its side.
But.. one of the coordinates/points are a radical . for example.
A(0,5) B(5 radical 3,2)
How can I solve this problem with the radical in it ?
Thank You Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Use the distance formula to calculate the measure of a side.
where and are the coordinates of the given points, so:
A radical is just another number. Just because it looks funny doesn't mean you should treat it any differently than any other number. Would you want people to laugh at you if you had a big wart on your nose?
