Answer:

The relation between the sides and angles of a right triangle is the basis for trigonometry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side c in the figure). The sides adjacent to the right angle are called legs (sides a and b ).

Answer:

The legs

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, sides a and b are called "the legs." These are the sides that create the right angle. Side c is called the hypotenuse and it is the longest side of a right triangle. Side c is opposite of the right angle.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

$\left\{11, 21\right\} \times \left\{1, 1.5, 2\right\} = \left\{ (11, 1), (11, 1.5), (11, 2), (21, 1), (21, 1.5), (21, 2)\right\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cartesian product between two discrete sets, is given by all possible ordered pairs originated with the combinations of the elements of the two sets, thus the requested Cartesian product is:

$\left\{11, 21\right\} \times \left\{1, 1.5, 2\right\} = \left\{ (11, 1), (11, 1.5), (11, 2), (21, 1), (21, 1.5), (21, 2)\right\}$

$A = (11, 1)\\B = (11, 1.5)\\C = (11, 2)\\D = (21, 1)\\E = (21, 1.5)\\F = (21, 2)\\$
