Math problem

**Der Rabe** · 10-26-2002, 08:15 AM

If I have A and B what is the formula to find X (been a long time since I needed this)

Kataclysm · 10-26-2002, 09:17 AM

A x B /2

Actually that is wrong.

After search i found it to be

I think you're wright der robe. Sorry guys my mistake.

thats the Pythagorean therum or something like that isn't it?
I freaking hated math ... I have yet to ever use anything I learned after AlgI in a real life situation.

When I was programming CNC Machines longhand (No Computer) I was a regular triggin' fool..............:D

I was trying to figure out the tv comparison in size to my new projction tv set up to fit a 6ft X 8ft screen. 120 inchs or ten feet across

Ya its the pythagorean Theorem

Its a^2 + b^2 = c^2

C in this case being X

You think you don't use any math in real life, but trust me, it'll probably come up so many times, and you'll be glad you know your math!

Like what happened to Der Robe here, a normal event required the use of math :D

I agree with DaTruMasta - it's the pythagorean theorem .

OT - I went to take an aptitude test years ago for a job opening. A lot of the test was just like the SAT. I aced the reading, but got to the very basic math, just past long division, and knew that there were very easy forumlas for figuring out geometry but could not remember what any of them were! Very frustrating.

I recently picked up a workbook at a bookstore on reinforcing basic math - how to do simple algebra, simple geometry, simple statistics. It IS very helpful in "real life".
