i'm in geometry right now...and failing it. it's all because of those freaking PROOFS. I have a big test tomorrow, and half of the test is on Proofs. Is anyone good at them?

i gotta ace it, or i'll be reallty screwed. i pulled my F up to a D so far, so if i ace this i can get my grade up to a C+...

LOL do u wanna be a little bit more specific by giving us a question
so we can see what kind of proofs you are having trouble with in proving?

BY THE WAY, is anyone taking biology and is good at it?

HELP ME PPL !! i need da equation

the perimeter of a rectangle is 48m. the width of the rectangle is 2 more than half the lengh. find the length and the width

set your length as x and your width as (1/2)x+2

so 48=3x+4

solve for x yourself

qive me some ideas plzz..i have to ryte a daymnz essay about dys topic..
DO METAL DETECTOR'S HELP PREVENT SCHOOL VIOLENCE?HOW?

WHAT IS YOUR IDEAS TO ABOUT VIOLENCE PREVENTION & HOW DO U PREVENT violence
btw...DO U LIKE SKOO UNIFORM? & why..

L= X
2L=2x

W= 1/2(x)+2 ----------> since 2 is greater than half of X
2W= X+4

(2X+X)+4 -----------> 2L+2W

since the perimeter is 48, set it equal to 48

3X+4=48

3X=48-4
3X=44
X=44/3

qive me some idea plzz
DO METAL DETECTOR'S HELP PREVENT SCHOOL VIOLENCE?HOW?

it helps get rid of:

-knifes
-metal objects
-guns
-tools (screw driver, hammer, etc)
- it gives the parents a sense of safety to the school system

I wouldnt say prevent...but i would say lessen the use of deadly weapons in school

THANKS! another question..hehehes
WHAT IS YOUR IDEAS TO ABOUT VIOLENCE PREVENTION & HOW DO U PREVENT violence
btw...DO U LIKE SKOO UNIFORM? & why..

- what do u think about the situation?
- do you want to prevent violence in school?
- if u are the principal, how would u avoid violence? what actions will u take?
-what kinds of consequences are there?

- do u like school uniform?
- should people follow it? why or why out?
- do u think it is beneficial?
- do u think it will lessen the parents money instead of buying brand name clothing?
- does the school look nicer with uniform?
- if wearing regular clothes, do u think it will show the student's interest and personality clearier?

OK OK OK Hutchison....last post in here....its all yours

i say thanks at times and i dont understand jack....? shes thanking you for taking ur time out to work the problem kekeke...anyways...no double posting...i promise

btw...DO U LIKE SKOO UNIFORM? & why..

basically with preventing violence, it can help students to be more disciplined
and it can be a great benefit to the school since teenagers and youths are
always unaware of the consequences (or they don't really care) about whats
at stake to them.. so we need violence prevention.. we need some laws out there
u know?

i dont think i care about school uniforms
but it does make u unique and part of something...
and one thing thats good about uniform is that you dont have to stress over
what u have to wear because you only have to wear the same thing everyday.. =)

hey im good in biology. got an a in it first semester!!! need ant help

LoLz, sorry, I suppose I shoulda posted the question...but it's kinda hard. There's a bunch of geometric figures involved. I just don't get which properties and theorems to use when I want to prove something. For example, I'll put down, 'AC is congruent to CD' on a triangle...I'll have no clue what to put down next. I dunno what theorem or property proves it!

I has this class last year (not to brag but I pass with flying color).... what you need help on........

Haha, the class itself is super easy, but the area of proofs is NOT. At least that's what I think...I manage to do good on everything else but proofs. Btw, I had my big test today...I looked so desperate when I was doing the proofs, by teacher actually came and helped me on one of them.

i actually think geometry is easy.....u just have to get acquainted with the geometric shapes and the theorems then u can do the proofs easily. I have this class last year and it was easy to me. I have Algebra and Trigonometry this year and I dont like it at all Ive suffered for the 1st semester

I wish you had a picture. It would make it a lot easier. I dont kno what the triangle looks like so its hard to help.

you can used paint or any drawing software and draw the triangle......

yea, i'm guessing that's what's messing me up...i was supposed to memorize the theorems and props, but i never did...i should start doing that now.

i'm gonna be in Advanced Algerba next year...are there proofs in that area?

sir gawain and the green knight the poem

[Orchids]

anyone read
sir gawain and the green knight the poem
written by an unknown author

dont understand it too much..any suggestions?

During a New Year’s Eve feast at King Arthur’s court, a strange figure, referred to only as the Green Knight, pays the court an unexpected visit. He challenges the group’s leader or any other brave representative to a game. The Green Knight says that he will allow whomever accepts the challenge to strike him with his own axe, on the condition that the challenger find him in exactly one year to receive a blow in return.





Stunned, Arthur hesitates to respond, but when the Green Knight mocks Arthur’s silence, the king steps forward to take the challenge. As soon as Arthur grips the Green Knight’s axe, Sir Gawain leaps up and asks to take the challenge himself. He takes hold of the axe and, in one deadly blow, cuts off the knight’s head. To the amazement of the court, the now-headless Green Knight picks up his severed head. Before riding away, the head reiterates the terms of the pact, reminding the young Gawain to seek him in a year and a day at the Green Chapel. After the Green Knight leaves, the company goes back to its festival, but Gawain is uneasy.

Time passes, and autumn arrives. On the Day of All Saints, Gawain prepares to leave Camelot and find the Green Knight. He puts on his best armor, mounts his horse, Gringolet, and starts off toward North Wales, traveling through the wilderness of northwest Britain. Gawain encounters all sorts of beasts, suffers from hunger and cold, and grows more desperate as the days pass. On Christmas Day, he prays to find a place to hear Mass, then looks up to see a castle shimmering in the distance. The lord of the castle welcomes Gawain warmly, introducing him to his lady and to the old woman who sits beside her. For sport, the host (whose name is later revealed to be Bertilak) strikes a deal with Gawain: the host will go out hunting with his men every day, and when he returns in the evening, he will exchange his winnings for anything Gawain has managed to acquire by staying behind at the castle. Gawain happily agrees to the pact, and goes to bed.

The first day, the lord hunts a herd of does, while Gawain sleeps late in his bedchambers. On the morning of the first day, the lord’s wife sneaks into Gawain’s chambers and attempts to seduce him. Gawain puts her off, but before she leaves she steals one kiss from him. That evening, when the host gives Gawain the venison he has captured, Gawain kisses him, since he has won one kiss from the lady. The second day, the lord hunts a wild boar. The lady again enters Gawain’s chambers, and this time she kisses Gawain twice. That evening Gawain gives the host the two kisses in exchange for the boar’s head.

The third day, the lord hunts a fox, and the lady kisses Gawain three times. She also asks him for a love token, such as a ring or a glove. Gawain refuses to give her anything and refuses to take anything from her, until the lady mentions her girdle. The green silk girdle she wears around her waist is no ordinary piece of cloth, the lady claims, but possesses the magical ability to protect the person who wears it from death. Intrigued, Gawain accepts the cloth, but when it comes time to exchange his winnings with the host, Gawain gives the three kisses but does not mention the lady’s green girdle. The host gives Gawain the fox skin he won that day, and they all go to bed happy, but weighed down with the fact that Gawain must leave for the Green Chapel the following morning to find the Green Knight.

New Year’s Day arrives, and Gawain dons his armor, including the girdle, then sets off with Gringolet to seek the Green Knight. A guide accompanies him out of the estate grounds. When they reach the border of the forest, the guide promises not to tell anyone if Gawain decides to give up the quest. Gawain refuses, determined to meet his fate head-on. Eventually, he comes to a kind of crevice in a rock, visible through the tall grasses. He hears the whirring of a grindstone, confirming his suspicion that this strange cavern is in fact the Green Chapel. Gawain calls out, and the Green Knight emerges to greet him. Intent on fulfilling the terms of the contract, Gawain presents his neck to the Green Knight, who proceeds to feign two blows. On the third feint, the Green Knight nicks Gawain’s neck, barely drawing blood. Angered, Gawain shouts that their contract has been met, but the Green Knight merely laughs.

The Green Knight reveals his name, Bertilak, and explains that he is the lord of the castle where Gawain recently stayed. Because Gawain did not honestly exchange all of his winnings on the third day, Bertilak drew blood on his third blow. Nevertheless, Gawain has proven himself a worthy knight, without equal in all the land. When Gawain questions Bertilak further, Bertilak explains that the old woman at the castle is really Morgan le Faye, Gawain’s aunt and King Arthur’s half sister. She sent the Green Knight on his original errand and used her magic to change Bertilak’s appearance. Relieved to be alive but extremely guilty about his sinful failure to tell the whole truth, Gawain wears the girdle on his arm as a reminder of his own failure. He returns to Arthur’s court, where all the knights join Gawain, wearing girdles on their arms to show their support.

CHINESE HW HELP

it's my sist btw..
anyway!

do u know the word YEAR? NIEN? (ping ying)
anyway, there are 6lines
what is the 3rd line? is it DOWN or HORIZONTAL?

the down= it's just a short straight line-not LONG...
horizontal= the second horizontal line.

so which is it? the THIRD PI WAH.. down or horizontal?

[shy]

its the horizontal line.

first it's this: / then its --- (long horizontal). then it's --- again. then its | then its ----. then, its the long bar down the center |.

2nd horizontal line is the 3rd stroke.

Present or future. never past.

[tvbfan]

it doesnt matter.. as long as you keep to that tense...
i'd say.. use past tense!

[swt_hunnie]

o no....u guyz r confusing me styll...lol...i have present n past... ...i think present sounds ryte n past sounds weird iono

i am stumped agen...mah teacher was a awai so he left us a whole ton of work...i hate wen teachers du dat wen der awai dey give u like 10x as much

well we didn't really du diz yet so iono

we gotta write an editorial/supportive opinion essay

Should Windsor (da place i live) City Council pass a law banning smoking in public buildings, including bars, bingos, casinos, and workplaces.?

can u guyz give me ideas...

[Sylvie]

I think he should not... people should have the privilege to smoke (even though it's bad for their health)....... think of as many reason as you can, ask the person who smoke.... they have a lot of reason to give it to you... I'll write you an essay if I don't have any work to do today, which I do....

[gossip80]

umm...i know in new york they already started banning smoking in bars and stuff...

since i'm against second hand smoke, i'll definitely say that it would be great if you passed that law

-less second hand smoking

-less lung cancer and other hazards

or, maybe you can say that they can ban it, but also appoint certain places as designated smoking areas

hopefully i've helped in some sort of way, shape, or form
