Oh, and Ali, where are you looking for a job?

At the moment, in the Daily Trojan, and through internships. I need to make a call to the LA Opera, actually, because they sometimes do makeup internships, and I can get references for doing makeup, and that would be an actual skill. Otherwise, I was thinking of looking for office assistant type stuff, like I'm doing now, and I'm sure I could get a reference from my boss, who's great. We do a lot of fundraising projects through our office, so I might be able to find a job at a foundation, or something, especially if my boss can recommend me to someone, but I haven't asked her any of that yet. Other than that, there's always Denny's or something, and I have some experience hostessing for a catering hall, which kind of transfers over, I'd imagine, but I probably can't get a reference from that company, since everyone that I knew no longer works there. Why? Do you have some better ideas? Because I am very open to suggestions.

So, let's say I had a right triangle, with angles of 60 and 30 degrees, and the side between the right angle and the 30 degree angle has a length of 4. How long is the side between the right angle and the 60-degree angle? Please show your work.

I'm not figuring it out at all, but is it a 3, 4, 5 triangle?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sorry -- just curious. I got nothing.

But! You could apply to be a personal assistant to a cranky almost-star and tell us stories.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

P-C... I think not, but I'm going to have to go look it up.

-t, okay, but what if you were a 9th-grader, and thus unfamiliar with the mysteries of tangents and the like?

Alibelle, have you tried the placement folks at school?

So lj crashed on everyone, not just me?

I'd love a facial. But not quite as much as I'd love a good foot massage right now.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

P-C, having looked it up, I believe you've mixed up the hypotenuse with one of the other ones.

Okay, I'm glad at least that my answer (4/sqrt(3)) was right, but... I have no idea if I led them through it correctly. It seems unusual for the teacher to be expecting them to come up with that the way I did.

I need a deep tissue massage.

And LJ is just telling me "Our."

I'm going to go home. It better be back up then.

Oh, and there's no way to simplify the cube root of 100, right?

Oh, okay. Got it. It's half an equilateral triangle, so the short side (from 90 to 60) is half the longest side (30 to 60). And because it's a right triangle, x^2+4^2=(2x)^2, so 16=3x^2 and x=4/SQRT(3).

I have forgotten how to do entities and have to run out to celebrate my MiL birthday. Hope that made sense!
