Answer:
[tex]a=\sqrt{33}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When we solve for this we should always remember this formula [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex] and since we already know b and c we can plug that in to find out what a could be but we won't actually solve it.
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\a^2+4^2=7^2\\a^2+16=49\\a^2=33\\\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{33}\\a=\sqrt{33}[/tex]
So a would equal whatever the square root of 33 is.
