Answer:

Yes it can

Step-by-step explanation:

To check wether it's a right angle triangle we need to apply the Pythagoras theorem

h^2= a^2 +b^2

Hypotenuse is always the longest side so

5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2

This is correct, so the triangle is a right angle triangle

The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

... c² = a² + b²

... 13² = 12² + b² . . . . . fill in the given numbers

... 169 - 144 = b² . . . . .subtract 12²

... √25 = b . . . . . . . . . take the square root

... b = 5 . . . . . . The value of b you're looking for.

The numbers {5, 12, 13} make what is called a "Pythagorean triple" a set of integers that satisfies the relation of the Pythagorean theorem. These, and the triple {3, 4, 5} are often seen in algebra problems. It can be worthwhile to remember these numbers.

If 8 is an angle in standard position and its terminal side passes through the point (21,20), find the exact value of cos 0 in s

Sati [7]

Answer:

so x = 20 , y = -21 , which is in quad IV

r^2= 400+441 = 841

r = √841 = 29

then cos Ø = 20/29

sec Ø = 29/20 = 1.45
