Most assuredly.......if its not a perfect square....it WILL have decimals in its simplification.....!!!!!

Thanks for mentioning Geno, Melody.......he's a very valued forum member.....!!!!!

Area = [Base x Height ]  / 2

For the same reason that  people from Lapland are often called "Polaroids".........

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, Nauseated......but...it looks like Loki is making some extra cash on the side by crashing websites.........I know this news come hard........but......a picture is worth a thousand bucks, er....... words.......

After further questioning, Loki claims to be suffering from CDD.......Cash Deficiency Disorder.....

I suspect that your cheap pay scale is at the root of this......

Take a tip from me.......Sisyphus's paychecks include no less than four zeroes..... {of course, I can't be too extravagant.....only two of them actually occur before the decimal point.....}

Your Humble Servant and Mod,

Sir CPhill

√[ (9 -1)^2 + (18 - 12)^2 ] =

√(8^2 + 6^2 )  =

√[ 64 + 36 ]

√100 =

10 units

I'll have to admit that it does look suspicious for me.........but......Sisyphus actually provided those answers using my ID.........

He claims he has zero knowledge about how it all happened.......

We have.......

tan 16 = 35 / d     where d is the distance from the lookout to the fire    .....re-arrange

d = 35 / tan 16 =  about 122.06 m
