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
