about




My name's Jennifer, but I'm more commonly known as Jen or Sporkster. I love lots of things/people including God; volleyball and soccer, my two favorite sports; and cheese. I also love Pi, but that's a story for another day.

I've been answering questions on Advicenators for over three years now, so I'm pretty experienced with it. I love answering questions and helping you out anyway I can, so if you've got a question, just ask me!

Ask me about: Christianity, athletics, physical fitness, love-life, relationships, friendships, HTML queries, book suggestions, music suggestions, musical theory, history, English (or Spanish) grammar, Paint Shop Pro 8, skin problems, sports injuries, "punk" fashion, nutrition, etc.

Q: I've been absent from school for a few days and I have to make up a homework assignment. Problem is, I have NO idea how to do it and the teacher will not help me. I am asking for the work and answers to these problems. I will rate high, thanks!



The area of a right triangle is 44m(squared). Find the lengths of its legs if one of the legs is 3 meters longer than the other one.


The hypotenuse of a right traingle is 25 meters long. The length of one leg is 10 meters less than twice the other. Find the length of each leg.


A projectile is launched upward from ground level with an initial speed of 98 m/s. How high will it go? When will it return to the ground?


A rocket is moving vertically upward with speed 245 m/s when its fuel runs out. How much farther will it travel upward before starting to fall back to the ground?


When .5 cm was planed off each of the six faces of a wooden cube, its volume decreased by 169 cm (cubed). Find its new volume.


A rectangular corner lot, originally twice as long as it was wide, lost a 2 meter strip along two adjacent sides due to street widening. Its new area is 684 m(squared). Find its new dimensions.

A: Use common sense and basic math to solve these.

If you need to see it on paper, draw a triangle. Label the hypotenuse and other sides.

Then, write an equation to solve the problem.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is:

"The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs (a and b) of a right triangle is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c)."

Or simply,

a squared + b squared = c squared.

I miss HTML.

Anyway, don't be lazy; do your own homework. Asking for the work and answers might help you right now, but when you have no idea how to do it on a test you're going to regret it.

Get another math teacher at your school to explain it to you, if anything. That way you'll understand it better and you'll be able to do your own homework.
