What is the purpose of drawing a picture for geometry word problems?

• Because it is a mandatory step

• To confuse the solver

• To help visualize and solve the problem

• To make the problem look nice

What is the correct formula for the Pythagorean theorem as used in the video?

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2

• a^2 + c^2 = b^2

• a^2 - b^2 = c^2

• 2a + 2b = c^2
