Case closed.

Here. Let me show my work.

First, the givens
a^2 + b^2 = 225
a + b + 15 = 36

This is inferred from a + b + 15 = 36
a + b = 21
b = 21 - a

Then, you get to work on the Problem
a^2 + b^2 = 225

Replace b with what you inferred(21 - a), and you get
a^2 + (21-a)^2 = 225

Then you work out that (21 - a)^2
a^2 + a^2 - 42a + 441 = 225
2a^2 - 42a + 216 = 0
a^2 - 21a + 108 = 0
(a - 9) x (a - 12) = 0

a = 9 or 12

No matter what 'a' equals, b will equal the other, like so:

a + b + 15 = 36
9 + b + 15 = 36
24 + b = 36
b = 12

a + b + 15 = 36
12 + b + 15 = 36
27 + b = 36
b = 9

The answers are 9 and 12.

yaa thats what i did and got except instead of factoring i used the quadratic equation once i got it into ax^2 + bx + c form

thanks a bunch

That's the classic 3:4:5 ratio. It's one of the first pythagorean ratios you learn.

lol ohh i know that. its just i need to solve it using quadratics somehow...

And also, that's cheating, you're not going to get anywhere in life if you keep relying on the internet and other things like that. Figure out how to do it yourself.

thank you faggot child

you'd need to specify more things.
for instance, what kind
of triangle it is.

sorry sorry Its a right triangle and thats all the info they gave me

There is a triangle thats perimeter is 36cm and the hypotenuse is 15cm
what are the lengths of the other sides?

This is a quadratic question.... any ideas?

Acapellas4u

Just for those of you who are looking for acapellas for your music and remixes. Heres a great site i stumbled upon.

im not advertising for it, but since NG doesnt have acapellas for the Audio section, i just thought it would be a good idea to post this here.

Also if you know any other acapella sites, could you post them?

Cheers

allright thanks alot guys

Im pretty sure i should be at # 49 in the top 50 savers...

so why the hell am i not there :'(

LMAO I Love this topic

Ok. so i have this computer and it was being gay so best buy took it and they installed XP on it. Now its just windows xp (SP2, media player edition 05). And i want to create a backup of my pc incase it breaks.

Problem is: that when i go to back it up using the backup utility that comes on xp, and i select my burner drive, it gives me the message:

[The backup file name could not be used.
"I:\Backup.bkf"
Please ensure it is a valid path, or that you have sufficient access.]

I:\ is my burner drive.
The thing is, that it allows me to back it up on removable disks (floppy, flash drives, etc.) but those dont have nealy enough space.

So my question is : "how can i make a backup for system recovery using DVD's? Is there a program that i can download?"

calling my computer manufacturer wont work because they are gay and my warranty expired 1 week ago. best buy is also gay and keeps trying to charge me for stuff even though i have a plan with them.

I tried using the Nero "Create new drive backup" option however, it gives me the message:
["The selected partition is formatted with a system file not supported for reorganizing. This partition cannot be backed using data compression"]
Ok, thats nfine and dandy except that it says without the compression it will require 30 8.5GB DVD's...

Any help at all would be really appreciated thanks

What does this mean?!? It is preventing me from installing the program
