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: Identify
Leg a = 7.5
Leg b = 10
Hypotenuse c = c
Step 2: Solve for c
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: 7.5² + 10² = c²
- Rewrite: c² = 7.5² + 10²
- Evaluate exponents: c² = 56.25 + 100
- Add: c² = 156.25
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: c = 12.5
