[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

Identify variables

a = a

b = 8

c = 10

Step 2: Solve for a

Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: a² + 8² = 10²
Evaluate exponents: a² + 64 = 100
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 64 on both sides: a² = 36
[Equality Property] Square root both sides: a = 6

Answer:

$\frac{14}{9} = 1\frac{5}{9} \\\\1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(1+1/3)^2-2/9\\\\= \left(1+\frac{1}{3}\right)^2-\frac{2}{9}\\\\\left(1+\frac{1}{3}\right)^2=\frac{4^2}{3^2}\\\\=\frac{4^2}{3^2}-\frac{2}{9}\\\\\frac{4^2}{3^2}=\frac{16}{9}\\\\=\frac{16}{9}-\frac{2}{9}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}\\\\=\frac{16-2}{9}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:16-2=14\\=\frac{14}{9}$
