What is the formula for the pythagorean theorem

The video tutorial explores right triangles, focusing on identifying right angles and understanding the hypotenuse. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the 90-degree angle, marked by a box or a #90 symbol. The tutorial introduces the Pythagorean theorem, explaining that the sum of the squares of the two sides equals the square of the hypotenuse. The video aims to provide a foundational understanding of these concepts, preparing students to solve related problems.

What should you look for to confirm a right angle in a triangle?

• A circle around the angle

• A little box or a 90-degree symbol

• A small triangle symbol

• A dashed line

In a right triangle, what is the side opposite the right angle called?

• Hypotenuse

• Base

• Adjacent

• Opposite

Which of the following is the correct formula for the Pythagorean Theorem?

• a + b^2 = c^2

• a^2 + b^2 = c

• a^2 + b = c^2

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2

What is the main condition for applying the Pythagorean Theorem?

• The triangle must have a right angle

• The triangle must be scalene

• The triangle must be equilateral

• The triangle must be isosceles

If a triangle has sides of lengths 3, 4, and 5, is it a right triangle?

• Yes, because 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

• No, because 3^2 + 4^2 ≠ 5^2

• Yes, because 3 + 4 = 5

• No, because 3 + 4 ≠ 5
