Answer:

For the value of hypotenuse can be irrational, sum of squares of other two legs might be imperfect square number.

Step-by-step explanation:

We all know, the Pythagorean theorem can be stated as follows:

The sum of squares of two legs of a right angled triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

i.e.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Where, c is the hypotenuse and a, b are the two other legs of the right angled triangle.

Given that:

a and b are rational numbers.

To find:

Situation for which c is irrational.

Square of a rational number is always rational.

So, a^{2} , b^{2} both will be rational.

And sum of squares of two rational numbers will also be rational.

Therefore, a^2+b^2 will also be rational.

and

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

For the value of c can be irrational, sum of squares of other two legs might be imperfect square number.

For what value of a do the lines 5x–2y=3 and x+y=a intersect at a point on the y-axis?
inna [77]

Answer:

  a = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set x=0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept in each case.

  first equation: y-intercept = -3/2

  second equation: y-intercept = a

To make these equal, we must have ...

  a = -3/2
