Finding the Hypotenuse in Triangles

The video tutorial explains how to use Pythagoras Theorem to find the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle. It provides step-by-step examples, including calculations with decimal precision, and offers practice questions for viewers to solve. The video concludes with a final example and a brief overview of the next topic.

What is the Pythagorean Theorem formula?

• a^2 = b^2 + c^2

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2

• a^2 + b^2 = 2c

• a^2 - b^2 = c^2

In a right triangle, which side is the hypotenuse?

• The side opposite the right angle

• The longest side

• The side adjacent to the right angle

• Both A and B

If a triangle has sides of 3 and 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

• 5

• 7

• 6

• 8

What is the first step in using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse?

• Calculate the square of each side

• Label the sides of the triangle

• Find the square root of the sum

• Write down the Pythagorean Theorem

When given sides of 12 and 7, what is the hypotenuse rounded to two decimal places?

• 13.89

• 15.00

• 14.00

• 13.50

What is the square root of 193?

• 15.89

• 13.89

• 14.89

• 12.89

For a triangle with sides 2 and 5, what is the hypotenuse to one decimal place?

• 5.6

• 5.3

• 5.4

• 5.5

What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides 4.8 and 3.7?

• 6.1

• 6.0

• 5.9

If a triangle has sides 32 and 34, what is the hypotenuse to one decimal place?

• 46.7

• 45.7

• 47.7

• 48.7

What is the final step in finding the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem?

• Add the squares of the sides

• Square root the sum of squares

• Subtract the squares of the sides

• Multiply the squares of the sides
