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.

Answer:

A theorem stating that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other sides. It is mathematically stated as c2 = a2 + b2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b the lengths of the other two sides.

The figure shows two intersecting lines and the measures of the resulting angles. Write an equation to help you solve for x. The

Svetlanka [38]

Given:

The given figure shows the intersection of the two lines.

The angles formed by the intersection of the two lines are (3x - 8)° and (2x + 12)°

We need to determine the equation to solve for x and to find the value of x.

Equation to solve for x:

Since, the two angles (3x - 8)° and (2x + 12)° are vertically opposite angles and the vertical angles are always equal.

Hence, we have;

$3x-8=2x+12$

Thus, the equation to solve for x is $3x-8=2x+12$

Value of x:

The value of x can be determined by solving the equation $3x-8=2x+12$

Thus, we have;

$x-8=12$

$x=20$

Thus, the value of x is 20.
