"Given- Equilateral Triangle ABC has an area of 5 a height of 5, and a side length of x.

Prove- Triangle ABC has a perimeter of 3.

Common Sense

Share definition
Essentially, common sense is seen as knowledge that most people (except babies and the mentally disabled) should know. This can apply to things affecting all humans, or it can pertain to certain peoples and issues. When someone does something that contradicts common sense, you tend to think, "Dude you are so stupid. Anyone with common sense would have avoided that."
Things that universally defy common sense:
-trying to breathe underwater
-staring into the sun to try to see it
-trying to touch a rainbow
-believing politicians truly care about the people
-telling someone with a bazooka to fuck off
-driving on the wrong side of the freeway
-being a hypocrite
-poking any dangerous creature

Common Sense Guru

Share definition
An individual who has gained a large following among members of the American Tea Party and/or other quasi-politcal groups. This person is easy to identify due to their constant facial scowl and constant litany of opinions and insults against any people who do not agree with him. This is his/her way of making sure their followers do not start thinking too much...after all it is the Common Sense Guru's job to do the thinking. Sometimes, however, this is problematic, due to the Guru's exclusive reliance on the "common sense", which is unfortunately both uncommon and subjective.
Typical words of a Common Sense Guru:

"We the people need better jobs but we don't want anyone else to have better jobs...'cause we have common sense and they don't"

"Let's stop paying teachers so much...that money needs to go to a better place, like the pocket of your Common Sense Guru"
