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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify

We are given a right triangle

Step 2: Define variables

Leg a = 1

Leg b = x

Hypotenuse c = 12

Step 3: Solve for x

  1. Substitute:                              1² + x² = 12²
  2. Isolate x term:                        x² = 12² - 1²
  3. Exponents:                             x² = 144 - 1
  4. Subtract:                                 x² = 143
  5. Isolate x:                                 x = √143
