Each side is 6.
Pythagorean theorem: A2 + B2 = C2
Therefore, 62 + 62 = C2
36 + 36 = C2
72 = C2
C = square root of 72
Karmaz plz.

Yeah, I figured that out a couple seconds before you posted.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

The key is to get your answer down immediately, then go back and edit your work in later.
(Especially when you have mod hax that lets you silently edit the most without that silly edited on line)

OK what I was ultimately looking for the answer for the square root of 72 simplified no decimals please.cowami wrote:

Chances are that isn't the kind of work his teacher was looking for, but rather using the theorem.nukchebi0 wrote:
Dang you anybody. I was hoping no one was intelligent enough yet to recognize that.
However, I am surprised that no one used simple geometry to know that the diagonal of a square is the length of a side multiplied by the square root of two.
And you can also silently remove other correct answers.Flaming_Maniac wrote:

He asked for simplified radical form. Are you implying he is a loser, and that you are 1337 smart because you don't use simplified radicals?Flaming_Maniac wrote:

Simplified radical form is for losers.

You're so out of it you don't even realize you don't need trig to solve the problem at all!superfly_cox wrote:
its incredible that i used to be a great math student back in high school. 800 on math SAT's, math olympiads...
and now i'm thirty and i do not have the slightest clue how to do this ultra simple trig problem...go figure. and i haven't the slightest clue what the hell i learned in those calculus and multi-variable and single-variable calculus classes i took.
but math is good, teaches you to think.

nukchebi0, I was just kidding. Yes simplified radical form is more correct, but I usually leave answers in unsimplified radical form unless something can be divided out, easier to work with.
