Help please!! I will mark brainilist and give a lot of points. This is Pythagorean theorem.

Formula: a^2+b^2=c^2

When I say ^2 I mean to the power of 2.

The question is asking me to solve for a.

Then give me b and c which is b = 17 1/3 and c = 16.

How do I solve for a when b is greater than c? Won’t that give me a negative a? You can’t have a negative a right?

Unless I’m wrong.

Please help my solve this :D

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
