Good evening everyone,
Another very quiet day today.
However, great answers were forthcoming from Rom, DavidQD, gibsonj338 and guest. Thank you.
I used the character map that 'I like Serena' told me about today. It was really good. Thanks ILS

A lot of people, including myself, originally think that the message system doesn't work.
This is because messages seem to 'get stuck' in the outbox.
The system does work, the messages will stay in your outbox until the recipient opens it. The message will then move to 'sent messages'.
While the message is in the outbox, you can edit it and you can delete it.
If you delete a message that was already in the outbox then the recipient will still receive a message. The message will tell them that you had sent mail but that you had already deleted it.

If you choose to, you can be notified of new private messages.
To do this go to the User Control Panel and choose the Board Preferences tab. Then select "notify me of new private message".

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Melody.

Guest:
a2=b2+c2-2(bc)cosA

This is cosine rule. It is probably better written like

a ²=b ²+c ²- (2bcCosA)

That way you are less likely to make a mistake when you work out your answer.

Guest:
no, a2= c2-b2

a ²=c ²-c ²
Hi Guest,
You are right,
This could easily have been Pythagoras Theorem
And often with Pythagoras the hypotenuse is called c
In which case your answer is completely correct.
BUT
The hypotenuse does not have to be called c.
It can be called anything.
This is important for you to understand and remember.

By the way, I used the 'sup' button above the smilies to get the indices where they belong. 'sup' stands for superscript.

lolkbye:
3.00x10^8/(7.91x10^10)

Great answer gibsonj338

I'd do it like this

3/7.91 * 10 ⁸ * 10 ^-10

0.379267 * 10 ^-2

3.79267 * 10 ^-1 * 10 ^1-2

3.79267 * 10 ^-3
or
0.00379267 ( correct to 6 significant figures)

Which is exactly the same answer as gibsonj338 got.
