Applying the Pythagorean Theorem in Real Life

What is the purpose of using a ladder in the experiment?

• To measure the height of the house

• To reach the roof safely

• To paint the house

• To clean the gutters

What shape is formed by the ladder, the ground, and the side of the house?

• Square

• Circle

• Right triangle

• Rectangle

Which theorem is used to calculate the height of the house?

• Quantum mechanics

• Pythagorean theorem

• Theory of relativity

• Thermodynamics

What is the length of the ladder used in the experiment?

• 12 feet

• 15 feet

• 13 feet

• 10 feet

How far is the base of the ladder from the house?

• 8 feet

• 7.75 feet

• 10 feet

• 6 feet

What is the correct equation to find the height of the house using the Pythagorean theorem?

• c^2 + a^2 = b^2

• b^2 + c^2 = a^2

• a^2 + c^2 = b^2

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2

What must be known to apply the Pythagorean theorem?

• All three sides of the triangle

• Only the hypotenuse

• The angles of the triangle

• At least two sides of the triangle

What did the narrator use to measure the distance from the house to the base of the ladder?

• His footsteps

• A measuring tape

• A laser measure

• A ruler

What is the practical application of the Pythagorean theorem as demonstrated in the video?

• Measuring heights indirectly

• Designing buildings

• Predicting weather

• Calculating distances

What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment conducted in the video?

• The house's height cannot be measured accurately.

• The Pythagorean theorem is only theoretical.

• The ladder is not necessary for the experiment.

• The Pythagorean theorem can be used to solve real-world problems.
