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

  1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: 24² + 7² = x²
  2. Evaluate exponents: 576 + 49 = x²
  3. Add: 625 = x²
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides: 25 = x
  5. Rewrite/Rearrange: x = 25
