Question 1163205: 895.Recall that the lengths of the sides of triangle ABC are often abbreviated by writing a = BC, b = CA, and c = AB. Sketch triangle ABC where angle BCA is right and mark F as the foot of the perpendicular drawn from C to the hypotenuse AB. In terms of a, b, and c, express the lengths of FA, FB, and FC. The equation c = FA+FB can be used to check your work.

==================
OK, I did that.
You should do it too.
