[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 = 24

Leg b = 7 in

Leg c = x

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                          24² + 7² = x²
2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                      576 + 49 = x²
3. Add:                                                                                                                 625 = x²
4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                 25 = x
5. Rewrite/Rearrange:                                                                                        x = 25
