3^2 == 9
45-9=36
H=6

wtf you talkin about you crazy crakka, it is an isosceles.

the area is 18.75cm^2

i win da prize :(

WHY IS EVERYONE SO BAD AT MATH (AND LIFE)

[miss.myra]

I thought to be good at math you had to be one of those nerds with no life?

[kiMMie]

Guess I'm a nerd with no life :P

THE TRIANGLE IS ISOSCELES (TWO EQUAL SIDES)
KIMMIE WINS, EVERYONE ELSE WHO ACTED LIKE THEY HAD THE RIGHT ANSWER WHEN THEY DIDNT GETS BAD KARMA

Found BBs or Palms are too bulky for me. :|

Rawb: What kind of triangle is that? Isosceles? Answer: 17.298?

Cece, I have thought about the Nokia, because I know that they can be extremely durable. But let's face it, they can make an ugly phone.

I won't go back to Samsung after my first/last experience with them.



Myra, do companies generally release information about the upcoming products?

Nokia is durable. I'm been on Nokia for a long time now. Had an Ericsson before too, and it withstood all my punishment. I agree, Nokia's phones lately are too "pretty", hence my reason from steering away from them this time around.

Was the Samsung the D807x model? What happened?

17.298
was the right answer? dammit i need some math schooling here

i thought it was 6.5^2 = 42.25 , - (6x6)= 36, h= 6.25 , then you go 6.25 x3 = 18.75 ..... well you could divide by 2 then multiply by 2 for the 2 triangles then get 18.75 again

HELP ME .. why do I care so much? how did a thread about cellphones turn into math?!?!

I keep getting 17.28 when I do the math.

I fail.

and that's why im gunna be a coast guard and not something that needs math lol. I did manage to get 90% in gr12 math though?!?! I pimp'd my calc out for cheating though.

who here needs a hug

I got a moto a1200.

I hate motorola, but I like this phone. Although the operating system is still crap for flexibility. Its calander function is good though, so if you want a semi-PDA phone the moto a1200 is good.

BUT if you want to get away from moto (please do) go for anything in the sony line-up (the candy bar phones) they are all solid performers with wicked features.

if you want something exotic try the softbank 707sc. Very well built phone, simplistic design. Unfortunatly due to it being only released in asian countries it does not have predictive text which was a mmajor issue for me, so i had to sell mine.
