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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify Variables

Leg a = x

Leg b = 5

Hypotenuse c = 13

Step 2: Solve for x

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