Questions 7, 8.b., 8.c., 10, 20.b., and 20.c. on pages 306 and 307 of the textbook
can be thought of as a triangle with a hypotenuse of 5 and a side of 4. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to determine the third side.

Again, the positive value is used and so
Substituting these into the sum identity gives
