Pythagoras's Theorem: Applications and How to Solve Problems

The video tutorial introduces Pythagoras and his theorem, explaining its significance in solving right-angled triangles. It covers real-world applications in fields like architecture, navigation, and forensics. The tutorial details the theorem's formula, c² = a² + b², and demonstrates how to apply it to find the hypotenuse or shorter sides of a triangle. It also addresses more complex problems requiring multiple applications of the theorem. The video emphasizes a three-step process: squaring sides, adding or subtracting, and square rooting to find the desired length.
