[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

• a is a leg
• b is another leg
• c is the hypotenuse

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify

a = 68

b = 51

Step 2: Solve for c

1. Substitute [PT]: 68² + 51² = c²
2. Exponents: 4624 + 2601 = c²
3. Add: 7225 = c²
4. Isolate c: 85 = c
5. Rewrite: c = 85
