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

Leg a = 8

Leg b = 4

Hypotenuse c = x

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                            8² + 4² = x²
  2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                         64 + 16 = x²
  3. Add:                                                                                                                   80 = x²
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                    √80 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                                                                                             x = √80
  6. Simplify:                                                                                                             x = 4√5
