**When helping people, please do not dump the full solution. **
Remember that these people are trying to learn concepts, and our goal should be to reinforce them. Giving them a solution will not help.

**Instead, give them hints and guide them toward the correct solution. **
You can ask things like "what part did you get stuck on?" or "what have you tried so far?" or give them a small starting hint. This ensures better learning. For more tips, reach out to Schlaumau (@schlaumau).

[twin phoenix]

but idk if i got it right

[twin phoenix]

[twin phoenix]

oh wait

its wrong

cuz i used 8 aswell

BRUHH

[indigo shore]

I think you kinda messed it up

[twin phoenix]

ye man

bruu

[indigo shore]

Btw you should first isolate the "a" before putting in those values

I mean "b"

Wait...

[twin phoenix]

bruhh i got 2 answers

is it 6.5 or 13.385 for 15 b

@indigo shore

[indigo shore]

Show what you've done

[twin phoenix]

Look how much tippex lol

[indigo shore]

You're doing it straight up

First isolate the "AD" on the left hand side

Using algebra

[twin phoenix]

waitg

is the answer

13.38

[indigo shore]

Lmao let me check

[twin phoenix]

im so cooked i jhave school in 15 mins

with 2 questions to go

[indigo shore]

Just use this formula lol

Then subtract AE from AD

[twin phoenix]

kk

[indigo shore]

Just reminding you

AC = AB + BC = 6.5 + 8 = 14.5

[twin phoenix]

ohh

ed is

7/385

7.385

@indigo shore

[indigo shore]

That is correct

[twin phoenix]

is a

15.615

[indigo shore]

That is also correct

[twin phoenix]

OK

i hope they cprrect

wy SO much

ty

[indigo shore]

No worries, it's all good

[twin phoenix]

i have 1 more question

it looks easy but it keeps giving it in decimal place so i think i done it wrong

@indigo shore

would u be able to help

[indigo shore]

Sure, I got time

[twin phoenix]

it quite easy but i dont think it should be in decimals

[indigo shore]

BC being in decimal is Normal

However let me check

[fallen ember]

are you suposed to leave your answers in fractional form?

cuz decimals will always lead to rounding error

[twin phoenix]

er

it doesnt say

do u think i should?

i think it will be fine if i round it appropiately

[indigo shore]

Nah wait I gotta get my textbook to write on lol

Just make sure you got these right

[twin phoenix]

i got 28

for cb

[indigo shore]

What did you got for (a)

[fallen ember]

this was done by
40 * 7/10 right

[twin phoenix]

yes

idk how to do pr

[fallen ember]

so whats the side length ratio to go from the small to the big

what do we multiply each of the sides by

fraction perferably

[twin phoenix]

40/28?

its in decvimals

i done b but not a

[indigo shore]

Just do the math, I'll confirm it

[indigo shore]

First isolate the PR in one side like that

[twin phoenix]

44.8

a=44.8 b=28

[indigo shore]

b is correct

[twin phoenix]

a is incorrect?

[indigo shore]

Yeah, try again

It will be less than 44.8

[twin phoenix]

35.71

@

@indigo shore

[indigo shore]

Now it's correct

[twin phoenix]

okk
