The video tutorial introduces Pythagoras' Theorem, explaining its application to right-angled triangles. It covers the relationship between the hypotenuse and the other two sides, providing practical examples. The converse of the theorem is discussed, highlighting its importance. Common mistakes in applying the theorem are identified, and the correct approach is demonstrated.

What is the special name given to the longest side of a right-angled triangle?

• Base

• Hypotenuse

• Adjacent

• Opposite

According to Pythagoras' Theorem, what is the relationship between the sides of a right-angled triangle?

• The hypotenuse is twice the length of one side

• The square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides

• The sum of all sides is equal

• The sum of the two shorter sides equals the hypotenuse

What should you do if you want to find one of the shorter sides using Pythagoras' Theorem?

• Use the formula a^2 = c^2 + b^2

• Use the formula a^2 = b^2 + c^2

• Use the formula a^2 = b^2 - c^2

• Use the formula a^2 = c^2 - b^2

What is a Pythagorean triple?

• A set of three numbers that satisfy the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2

• A set of three numbers that are all prime

• A set of three numbers that form an arithmetic sequence

• A set of three numbers that are all even

What is the result of 5^2 + 12^2 in the context of Pythagorean triples?

• 169

• 144

• 100

• 25

Which of the following is NOT a Pythagorean triple?

• 3, 4, 5

• 5, 12, 13

• 8, 15, 17

• 7, 24, 26

What does the converse of Pythagoras' Theorem state?

• If a triangle is right-angled, then c^2 = a^2 + b^2

• If a triangle is isosceles, then c^2 = a^2 + b^2

• If a triangle is equilateral, then c^2 = a^2 + b^2

• If c^2 = a^2 + b^2, then the triangle is right-angled

Why is it important to correctly set up the logic when using Pythagoras' Theorem?

• To ensure the triangle is equilateral

• To ensure the triangle is scalene

• To make sure the triangle is isosceles

• To avoid incorrect conclusions about the triangle's angles

What mistake should be avoided when applying Pythagoras' Theorem?

• Calculating the angles instead of the sides

• Using the wrong formula for the hypotenuse

• Starting with the assumption that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 without verification

• Assuming the triangle is equilateral

What is the correct logical setup for verifying if a triangle is right-angled using Pythagoras' Theorem?

• Calculate a^2 + b^2 and compare it to a^2

• Calculate a^2 - b^2 and compare it to c^2

• Calculate a + b and compare it to c

• Calculate a^2 + b^2 and compare it to c^2
