Trigonometry
[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse
Explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify variables
a = 24
b = 10
c = 34
Step 2: Check
Verify ΔLMN is a right triangle
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: 24² + 10² = 34²
- Evaluate exponents: 576 + 100 = 1156
- Add: 676 ≠ 1156
∴ ΔLMN is not a right triangle
