If the tangent of 65 degrees is used to calculate side 'a', and the adjacent side is 5, what is the formula for 'a'?

a = 5 + tan(65)

a = tan(65) / 5

a = 5 * tan(65)

a = 5 / tan(65)

How can the Pythagorean theorem be used to verify the length of side 'b'?

10.7^2 + b^2 = 5^2

5^2 + b^2 = 10.7^2

b^2 + 10.7^2 = 5^2

5^2 + 10.7^2 = b^2
