    A ridiculously easy question: What is Pythagoras's theorem?

    half the people in my french class are so bad at french, they'd be happy if they remembered the word Bonjour in the exam.

    Pythagoras's theorem states that the length of the hypotenuse squared is equal to the length of the adjacent and the opposite squared.

    what is the moment of the force?

    Its the force multiplied by the perpindicular distance between the force and the fulcrum.

    In home ec what are the:
    Bias
    Selvage
    Waft

    Really?! But they're part of the course! If I were you I'd try cram home management as it'll give you another option and most of it is common sense!

    I don't do business but yea, home eco is basically biology XD. I just don't understand like all the "women" things when you have to learn about taking care of a family, nitting, sewing machine .. food ... ugh, I don't know why I chose this over Business XD. :pac: My teacher said women dig men who can cook ... I am yet to see proof of this statement ... false advertising? :rolleyes:

    Nah, it's kind of like having DLC for a game without having the game, You need to be a desirable guy first, THEN cooking. At least this is what I was told. I don't do Home Ec. anyway.

    I have a friend, who chose music in first year because the teacher said they'll learn how to play piano, after the choices, they didn't even touch a piano and everyone was stuck because you're not allowed to switch in his school, epic fail. ^-^ I only enjoy the cooking aspect of Home Eco, the rest is basically common sense and biology. :rolleyes:

    You know how you can tell if somebody is talking about you? Well I always learnt insults off the internet in that person's language so they think I can understand them :p Always work a treat but that's if I'm assuming their saying mean things about me ;)
