Using the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem

The video tutorial explains the converse of the Pythagorean theorem, which states that if the square of the longest side of a triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides, the triangle is a right triangle. The teacher sets up a problem involving a right triangle with missing side lengths and guides students through solving it using the theorem. The solution process involves identifying the hypotenuse and calculating the missing side lengths. The video concludes with a verification of the solution and a summary of the key concepts.
