Mathematics

It looks like the length of a and b should be the same. You can use the Pythagorean theorem (only works with right triangles):

a² + b² = c² (c is the hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle, a and b are the other side lengths of the triangle)

a² + (4)² = (5)²

a² + 16 = 25

a² = 9

a = 3

a and b have a length of 3

Alja [10]

Answer:

It is an imaginary number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of negative one is "i," the imaginary number. This concept is immensely useful in mathematics, as it allows for there to be square roots of negative numbers, which is otherwise not possible using only real numbers.

Any number that includes a negative square root is called an imaginary number. For example, the square root of -9 equals 3i, an imaginary number. When an imaginary number and a real number are combined, for example 2 + 3i, this is called a complex number. Complex numbers have many real world applications, including manipulating sound waves and calculating electrical currents.
