This video tutorial covers the Pythagorean Theorem, explaining the parts of a right triangle, including the legs and hypotenuse. It demonstrates how to apply the theorem to find missing side lengths using example problems. The video concludes with a summary of the key concepts and steps involved in solving right triangles.

What defines a right triangle?

• A triangle with no right angles

• A triangle with all sides equal

• A triangle with one angle measuring 90 degrees

• A triangle with two equal angles

Which sides of a right triangle are called the legs?

• The two shortest sides

• The side opposite the right angle and one adjacent side

• The two sides forming the right angle

• The two longest sides

What is the Pythagorean theorem formula?

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2

• a^2 - b^2 = c^2

• a^2 + c^2 = b^2

• b^2 + c^2 = a^2

How do you find a missing leg length in a right triangle?

• Square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides

• Subtract the square of one leg from the square of the hypotenuse
