- Identify the right triangle in the problem and label its sides: the two legs (a and b) and the hypotenuse (c).
- Apply the Pythagorean Theorem formula: a² + b² = c².
- Substitute the known values of the two sides into the equation.
- Solve for the unknown side by performing the arithmetic operations (squaring, adding or subtracting, then taking the square root).
- Verify the solution by plugging the calculated value back into the original equation to ensure both sides are equal.
