Let the legs of the triangle be a and b, and the hypotenuse c.
Your first instinct might tell you to use the Pythagorean theorem to go about solving this because

. This works, but it is slow.
The fastest way to solve this is to recognize that the right triangle is a special triangle where the ratio of the sides are 3:4:5. This means that if the legs are 9 and 12, then the hypotenuse is 15 because 3*3 is 9, 3*4 is 12, and 3*5 is 15.
The answer is D. 5^-2 times 5^4.
Answer: The equation for line b is 
The equation for line t is 
The attachment shows the original line in green, the parallel line b in red, and the perpendicular line t in blue.
Step-by-step explanation: Use slope intercept form, y = mx + b
The given coordinate, (0,5) is on the y-axis, so 5 will be the y-intercept of the equation. Keep the slope of the original equation and substitute the new value for "b"
To write the equation for line t
Both lines share the y-intercept, (0,5) so the "b" term will be the same. The slope of a perpendicular line is the reciprocal of the original slope with the opposite sign.
So invert 3/4 to become 4/3 and change the negative sign to positive.
The resulting equation is y = 4x/3 + 5
It’s line always goes in both directions
A = L x W = 8 x 17 = 136
