but x cant be 25 tho .... i think the sides may be labelled wrong or im using the wrong formulae

you gave x squared. which is 25. X is not the same as x squared.

and no, I did not even remember that formula. I just saw it and instinctively thought 5. then feefs had to explain to me how I got to that and mentioned the formula.

i think ur having problems with the formula.

A squared + B squared = C squared

THEN u find the square root of C squared - and thats your answer

My maths teacher showed us this. The only person stupid enough to do that is someone who knows that they got almost every other question right.
The geek inside me wants to work this out:
x2(x squared)=4 squared+ 3 squared
x2= 16+9= 25
x= 5
Sorry I just love maths 😃

Nah, If they were clever enough to have that many Qs right, they'd try and get all the Qs right to have 100% or near enough. I think someone who knows they're gna fail would do something like that ^
