Trigonometry

  • [Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing side.

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Leg a = x

Leg b = 5

Hypotenuse c = 13

Step 3: Solve for x

  1. Substitute:                    x² + 5² = 13²
  2. Isolate x term:              x² = 13²- 5²
  3. Exponents:                   x² = 169 - 25
  4. Subtract:                       x² = 144
  5. Isolate x:                       x = 12
