In the Pythagorean Theorem, what
does the "a" stand for?
a2 + b2 = c2

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.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
