Pythagoras comes to the rescue!

Generally I am not | that fond of engineers, but rarely have I seen one wear their | ignorance as a sign of pride, the way you do. As strange a newsgroup | as this appears to be, it does not deserve to be weighed down by your | dense mind. Another unthinking idiot that listens to Dinky the Deranged, huh? x = -3 or 3 y = -4 or 4 z = -5 (given) z = sqrt(x^2+y^2) - Pythagoras. "This way sqrt is ALWAYS positive."-Dinky the Deranged. So, according to Dinky, z = 5. Egads, Pythagoras was wrong. Somehow I don't think so, imbecile. Androcles. |
