Answer:

a stands for one of the sides opposite the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagoras theorem is

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two opposite sides.

P.S. Please mark my answer as brainliest, I need it to rank up.

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (4, 2) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y= x/3−1
Alex_Xolod [135]
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite and reciprocal. Therefore, the line we are looking for has a -3 slope.
y= -3x+b

Now, we can substitute in the point given to find the intercept.
2= -3(4)+b
2= -12+b
b=14

Finally, put in everything we've found to finish the equation.
y= -3x+14
