Solve for the missing side of a right triangle using the pythagorean theorem ex

The video tutorial explains how to solve for a missing side in a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem. It begins by introducing the theorem and its formula, emphasizing the importance of identifying the hypotenuse and legs. The tutorial then demonstrates the application of the theorem with a specific example, showing the calculation process and solving for the unknown side. The final result is presented as a radical, which cannot be simplified further.

What is the Pythagorean theorem and how is it expressed mathematically?

How do you identify the hypotenuse and the legs in a right triangle?

If one leg of a right triangle is 5 and the other leg is 2, how do you calculate the hypotenuse?

What is the final answer when solving for X in the equation 5^2 + 2^2 = X^2?

Explain why the result of X = sqrt(29) cannot be simplified further.
