He was right. Without exception, everyone answered 'A-squared plus B-squared equals C-squared' which - if you think about - is pretty meaningless without a corresponding, labeled picture. Since then, I've made it a point to remember the long-hand.heathcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434259852277119200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942972536445525495.post-65165312500444791392008-06-10T00:18:00.000-04:002008-06-10T00:18:00.000-04:00okay, so that is just a squared plus b squared equ...okay, so that is just a squared plus b squared equals c squared.

That would be the pythagorean theorem and it is to find the area of a triangle that is not 90*, I believe(and I am not sure on the spelling). Ah, geometry...I loved my high school geometry teacher...I just wished I remembered more geometry!Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13371466610431264666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942972536445525495.post-12329341944865859182008-06-01T22:00:00.000-04:002008-06-01T22:00:00.000-04:00I love your posts!

The thing I remember is the song for some formula that starts out "negative b plus or minus the square root..." can't remember the rest of what it was for....so useful stuff we remember there huh?
