How to determine where the adjacent leg is on a triangle

The video tutorial explains the Pythagorean theorem, focusing on the hypotenuse and the legs of a triangle. It introduces the concept of adjacent legs, emphasizing their importance in relation to different angles. The tutorial guides viewers on how to identify adjacent legs based on the angle being considered, using examples to clarify the relationships between angles and sides in a right triangle.

What is the Pythagorean theorem primarily concerned with?

• The relationship between the squares of the legs and the hypotenuse

• The area of a triangle

• The sum of the angles in a triangle

• The relationship between angles in a triangle

In the context of a triangle, what is the adjacent leg?

• The longest side of the triangle

• The leg that connects an angle to the right angle

• The leg opposite the hypotenuse

• The leg opposite the right angle

How does the adjacent leg change when considering different angles in a triangle?

• It is always opposite the hypotenuse

• It remains the same regardless of the angle

• It changes based on which angle is being referenced

• It is always the longest side

If angle A is being considered, which side is the adjacent leg?

• The side opposite angle A

• The side connecting angle A to the right angle

• The hypotenuse

• The side opposite the right angle

When angle B is the reference, which side becomes the adjacent leg?

• The side opposite the right angle

• The side connecting angle B to the right angle

• The hypotenuse

• The side opposite angle B
