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 Variables

Leg a = x

Leg b = 24

Hypotenuse c = 40

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: x² + 24² = 40²
2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate x term: x² = 40² - 24²
3. Evaluate exponents: x² = 1600 - 576
4. Subtract: x² = 1024
5. [Equality Property] Isolate x: x = 32
