[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse
Explanation:
Step 1: Define
a = b
b = 14
c = 23
Step 2: Find b
- Substitute [PT]: b² + 14² = 23²
- Isolate b term: b² = 23² - 14²
- Exponents: b² = 529 - 196
- Subtract: b² = 333
- Isolate b: b = 3√37
