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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify Variables

Leg a = 15

Leg b = 8

Hypotenuse c = c

Step 2: Solve for c

  1. Substitute [PT]:                    15² + 8² = c²
  2. Exponents:                           225 + 64 = c²
  3. Add:                                      289 = c²
  4. Isolate c:                               17 = c
  5. Rewrite:                                c = 17
