Solve for a missing triangle side, check whether a triangle is right, or work a word problem using the Pythagorean theorem, with every step shown.

Explain how to choose a probability or non-probability sampling method for a study, covering the tradeoff between generalizability and speed, with examples for every method.

Build the short parenthetical or narrative APA in-text citation for a claim or quote, applying author-count rules, locator requirements, and the 'as cited in' form.

Generate practice problems for Pythagorean and double-angle trig identities, with full worked solutions showing every substitution, or verify an identity or expression step by step.
