question 28

Multiple Choice

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side(s) .

- $c = 5 , b = 4 a$ ; find $b$ and $a$

• A) \(\mathrm { a } = \frac { 5 \sqrt { 17 } } { 17 } , \mathrm {~b} = \frac { 20 \sqrt { 17 } } { 17 }\)
• B) \(a = \frac { \sqrt { 85 } } { 17 } , b = \frac { \sqrt { 85 } } { 68 }\)
• C) \(a = \frac { 5 \sqrt { 17 } } { 17 } , b = \frac { 5 \sqrt { 17 } } { 68 }\)
• D) \(a = \frac { \sqrt { 85 } } { 17 } , b = \frac { 2 \sqrt { 85 } } { 17 }\)
