VIDEO 1 . "Geometry Tips: What Is the Pythagorean Theorem?"
I. Before you watch the video answer the following question:

//- What do you think this video will be about?//

I think it is about the explanation and the uses of the Pythagorean Theorem in math.

//- Mention five words you think you might listen to in the video.//

Math Formula Triangle Angle Hypotenuse

II. While and after watching, please answer the following questions:

//1. ////What is the pitagoream theorem? //

It is a formula or relation between the three sides of a rectangle triangle. We use it when we know the length of two of the sides and we want to find out the other one.

// 2. Why is it said to be exclusive? //

Because the use of the theorem just applies to right triangles.

// 3. What is a hypotenuse? //

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 46.35pt;">It is the opposite side to the right angle.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 46.35pt;">The names of the other sides of a rectangle triangle are legs.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 46.35pt;">He knew the lengths of the legs of the triangle so he just wanted to figure out the length of the other side (the hypotenuse) that’s why he used the pythagorean equation: the hypotenuse square is equal to the leg square plus leg square. Then, he placed the lengths that he knew in the formula and finally used algebra to find out the result.
