Trigonometry
[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse
Explanation:
Step 1: Identify
Leg a = 24
Leg b = 7 in
Leg c = x
Step 2: Solve for x
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: 24² + 7² = x²
- Evaluate exponents: 576 + 49 = x²
- Add: 625 = x²
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: 25 = x
- Rewrite/Rearrange: x = 25
