How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle compare to the lengths of the legs?

Mathematics

we know that

In a right triangle we have

two legs and one hypotenuse

Let

a,b -----> the legs of the right triangle

c-----> the hypotenuse of the right triangle (the greater side)

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The length of the hypotenuse squared is the length of one leg squared plus the length of another leg squared

How many pairs (a, b), where a and b are positive integers, satisfy the equation a2−b2=105? PLS HELP
Vlad [161]

Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side of the equation can be factored as the difference of squares:

  (a -b)(a +b) = 105

The right side of the equation can be factored to 4 different pairs of factors:

  105 = 1·105 = 3·35 = 5·21 = 7·15

For each of the factor pairs, we can match factors to get, for example, ...

  a -b = 1

  a +b = 105

The solution to this is a = (105 +1)/2 = 53, b = (105 -1)/2 = 52. Thus, we have ...

  (a, b) = (53, 52)

For the other factor pairs, the solutions are ...

  (a, b) = (19, 16), (13, 8), (11, 4)

There are a total of 4 positive integer solutions.

Find a common denominator for 2,4,8. Which is 8. Change the fractions to new ones.

1) 19 4/8= 156/8 Then add the second. 2) 7 5/8= 61/8 one and the third
3) 5 6/8= 46/8 one. Which is

15/8. Then, subtract your answer and the first one. You get 141. Simplify. 17 5/8
