hypotenuse..........I haven't heard that word since high school, almost 50 years ago. I kept TELLING the math teacher I'd never need to know, LOL, and I didn't.
My 9th grade math teacher made me promise I'd never ever take anything that resembled alegra II, geometry, trig, calcula, etc. That I'd go back to business math. Wish I could have handled the harder "stuf "!! Never did I know I'd need it now! :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh well....I keep trying!
