Re: Kotys Dad................
Mav,
Thats like asking a chef if he knows the connection between cooking with whole milk and real butter to putting on weight.
You're gonna need some paper to draw along as I go.
Draw a right triangle in the first Quadrant of a coordinate system with x,y axis. Let P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) be the coordinates of the endpoints of the hypoteneuse.....with x1 < x2 and y1 < y2.
The distance formula says to take the square root of the sum of squares of the differences in the x and y coordinates......x2-x1 and y2-y1.
D = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )
or
D^2 = (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
D is the length of the hypoteneuse.
x2-x1 and y2-y1 are the lengths of the legs of the right triangle. Not intuituive, but if you draw it properly and keep in mind exactly what x1, x2, y1, and y2 are, you'll see it.
Hence, the Pythagorean Theorem.

maverick, I was going to post the same thing as KotysDad but you didn't ask me and, well, I didn't want to intrude.

Ed,
I dont follow the soaps here closely enough apparently. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
By the way, good to see your name on the party list. I shall require 4 shots a side at the golf outing.

Its a good thing. Four a side!!!! What are you nuts??? My ass and four strokes.
Anyone who can recite that bullshit you just posted can sure as hell figure out the velocity, force, angulation and trajectory of a 10 footer downhill against the grain with a 10 mph headwind. I want you on my team in a scramble.

True, but unfortunately when it comes to golf, my brains and muscles dont work in tandem. Ergo, the 4 per side.

I have got to play golf with a guy who uses the word "Ergo" in a sentence. You see, Ctown uses that word also but only in response to a question as to how he is travelling to another city.

KD- It's been a while since I've taken a math class. Quick question.
If you're looking at something like 2-5, it equals -3. Is -3 squared 9 or -9? I'm thinking it's 9 because both it's (-3*-3) and both numbers are negative, but not sure.
