Draw little pics to help your thinking process.

This is a good answer Cal. Thanks 

I mean show evidence that you are learning something.

Ask questions about their responses.

You are not meant to be just taking the answer or just copying the working.

You are meant to be learning!

Say 'thank you'. Or say you do not think it is correct because [fill in the blanks]

But also ask things like :

"how did you get from line 2 to line three"

"I don't quite understand this bit .... could you please explain more?"

You have not responded to your last questions yet!

Why are you posting more?

You said only 15 minutes prior that you were going to have a break from posting questions.

People are getting tired of your behaviour!

If you want to repost (not right now) then you must admit that is what you are doing.

Do not re-enter the question, just say you still want help and give the link to the original question (like Cal did for you last time)

Thanks Cal.

Thanks DragonLord  

Thanks Heureka,

DragonLord,

I am wondering why you are not posting your questions directly onto the forum?

You could post on the forum and then send a link to Heureka asking if he could help you.

That would be the usual way to do it if you want a specific person to answer.

I'm confused.

guest, were you responding to Cal?

Yes it is definitely a Pythorean question 

 BUT

Why is anyone multiplying by 2.5?

Here is the question:

Here is the answer:

Pythagoras's Theory

In any triangle, if the square on the longest is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides then the triangle MUST be right angled.

In this triangle, the square on the longest side is 13^2 = 169

and

the sum of the squares on the other two sides is  5^2+12^2= 25+144 = 169

since they are equal this has to be a right-angled triangle.

That is an impressive answer.  Good work Cal :)

What other post?

Please include the link Cal.

Attn: CalTheGreat,

Can you give a little more information Cal?

You need to start building a reputation as someone who is actually able to answer questions.

When you have that reputation obscure hints might be considered as good responses.

I believe you can do this one so what don't you show us your ability.
