Trigonometry
[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify variables
a = a
b = 8
c = 10
Step 2: Solve for a
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: a² + 8² = 10²
- Evaluate exponents: a² + 64 = 100
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 64 on both sides: a² = 36
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: a = 6
