Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a= ?

b= 3

c= 5 (c is always the hypotenuse)

*plug in given values

a^2 + 3^2 = 5^2

a^2 + 9 = 25

-9 -9

a^2 = 16

*find the square root

sqrt(a) = sqrt(16)

a = 4

Space

Answer:

a = 4

Trigonometry

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Leg a = a

Leg b = 3

Hypotenuse c = 5

Step 2: Solve for a

  1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                          a² + 3² = 5²
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate a term:                                         a² = 5² - 3²
  3. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                       a² = 25 - 9
  4. Subtract:                                                                                                          a² = 16
  5. [Equality Property] Isolate a:                                                                          a = ±4

Since we are dealing with a regular right triangle and not a quadrant triangle, we use the positive root.

∴ a = 4
