Hi, my name is Ernest Tsui and I like to read and interact with the world around me. While that is a pretty basic description of me I feel that I should say more about myself. First off, I don't have much of filter between my brain and my mouth. I will often say things that will will range from Hilarity to out right disturbing. So if I offend you, just ignore me. I like video games, mostly shooters and I am a huge halo buff. I like to read mostly Sci Fi books and i read a lot. I often forgo sleep to read my books. Also, I spend most of my time that is not occupied by sleep and school at my desk with my TV and computer. That is all...


Well, since I like to stick with what I know and love. Well not love but I do think that it is a great discovery and very useful. The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of any side from a right angle triangle. As long as 2 of the 3 sides are give, the Pythagorean Theorem can be applied to find the third side. The formula for this would be

  a^2 + b^2 = c^2   with c being the length of the hypotenuse and a and b being any of the other 2.

This useful little formula consisting of a, b, c, and 3 2's has helped me in my life more times then I can count. It can be used in many different ways. it can be used to find a vector in physics or the height of a tree. As long as you can find a triangle and get 2 sides, the theorem can be applied to anything.
