General Formulas and Concepts:
Pre-Algebra
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Trigonometry
- Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
Explanation:
Step 1: Define
leg a = 4
leg b = 1
hypotenuse c = x
Step 2: Solve for x
- Substitute: 4² + 1² = x²
- Exponents: 16 + 1 = x²
- Add: 17 = x²
- Isolate x: √17 = x
- Rewrite: x = √17
