General Formulas and Concepts:
Pre-Algebra
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Trigonometry
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is hypotenuse
Explanation:
Step 1: Identify
We have a right triangle, so we can use PT to solve for the missing side.
Step 2: Define
a = 2
b = ?
c = 10
Step 3: Find b
- Substitute: 2² + b² = 10²
- Exponents: 4 + b² = 100
- Isolate b term: b² = 96
- Isolate b: b = √96
- Simplify: b = 4√6
