That's a good way to flunk a math test.
I took Calculus in high school, but barely passed Trigonometry in college. The professor didn't spoon feed us. I'm more of a science / biology / anatomy nerd. My pocket protector is for my lab tools. ;-)
That's just the type of smart-assed answers I used to come up with that got me sent to the office time after time after time.

I was and am terrible at math...my mind goes blank especially when paired up with letters. oi. My husband and son are great with numbers so I leave the numbering to them...so the moral of the story is if you suck at math marry someone who does not! :)N
"Math .... Are you good at it?"
NO!

this is a true mathematician!!!
I took some advanced math at Brown when I was attending Rhode Island School of Design.
It's pretty much gone now, though.
Where's my calculator...
I was much better at it before the advent of computers...
All I can think of is that today is the seventh anniversary of 911.
Please remember it in your prayers if not in your posts.

I sucked in math. I managed to squeak by in high school. Math actually prevented me from getting my degree for a number of years but I squeaked by with Statistics, got the credits I needed and obtained my BA.
No, I'm not good at it. There was a reason I always got the low end math students to teach. It was all I could handle. :-(
But I can reload ammo, so I have some redeeming qualities.
I majored in math in college, the answer is 5. truth be told though Z, I like your answer better. With that said, I'm not letting my boys see it, I don't want a letter home from their teacher. lol
I love it. When I was teaching first grade, a little boy was trying to find the sentence that matched the picture. It was a picture of some children at a park. They had a dog named Lad, but he was nowhere in the picture.
Kishawn chose the sentence "Lad hides at the park." That obviously was not the correct answer, so when I asked him, "Where is Lad, Kishawn?"
"He's hiding," he replied. Could I mark it wrong?
And, yes, that is a very basic algebraic equation. That one I know. LOL
A cute wiseguy answer but it's Junior High arithmetic that was drilled into me so that I will never forget it.
The square of the hypotenuse (side x or the long side)of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two sides.
3 squared = 3x3 =9
4 squared = 4x4 =16
9 + 16 = 25
Square root of 25 is 5.
Remember the Pythagorean Theorum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem
In a right triangle (where one the angles is 90°.) where z= the hypotenuse (longest side)the formula is x² + y²= z². Though in your case x and z are switched around.
You gave a cute answer though.
I always liked Shoprat ... until now.
Great responses! Cracked me UP!
This isn't MY answer, by the way..it came with a bunch of other very funny math problems 'solved'thusly!!
SHOPRAT!! Hey Z? X and Z!? (smile) Mustang's right...I liked you a LOT till NOW! Hee!! But, by the way? ... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really did wonder about how TO solve that. I know I'd learned it but...!!!
Just so everyone knows the truth here: If I hadn't led the high school senior gift committee and hadn't decided we should give a trophy cabinet to the Physical Ed. Dept as our parting gift, and if the MATH TEACHER hadn't also been the FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL COACH, I'd have probably got my only D in high school....in Math!! I just remembered his name..Mr. Connor!!
HA!! (and no, I didn't put 2 and 2 together ...I was way too naive and sweet, not a conniving bone in my body..but as luck would have it...........!!)
Are you home schooling math?
who home schools, Ducky?
I had to take lots of math to get my biology degree. Did I love it? No. Did I hate it more than Organic Chemistry? No!!!!!! Believe me, there's worse stuff than math.
Cube, if you disliked organic chemistry, physical chemistry would have depressed you! BTW,
ever notice that ShopRat even LOOKS like Pythagoreus?!
Huh?
