1. What is the pitagoream theorem?

The Pythagorean Theorem is a mathematical formula that helps __a know a__ ** calculate the value ** of the hypothenuse ** only the hypothenuse??? ** of a rectangle triangle, __know__ a if you know the value of the other sides. __it is expression__ Its formula is c^2= a^2 + b^2.

2. Why is it said to be exclusive?

The theorem is exclussive because it is only __in__ valid for rectangle triangle S.

3. What is a hypothenuse?

The Hypothenuse is __a side more large of__ the longest lide of a rectangle triangle and it is opposite to the right angle.

4. What is the name of the other sides of a rectangle triangle?

The name of the other sides of a rectangle triangle are legs. Incomplete

5. What steps he uses to solve the problem on the video?

The professor used the formula **a^2 + b^2 = c^2** where **a** and **b** are the sides of the rectangle triangle.__h__e used an example to show the theorem. __h__e took two numbers for a and b, in this case, a=3 and b=4; after__,__he applied the formula and the resulting expresion was: 9 + 16 = c^2. He Solved the addition and obtained the expresion 25=c^2. __The next step, he use the root in both sides of the__ confusing expres S ion and finally the answer he obtained is 5.
