Finding the Length of a Triangle's Side Using Pythagoras' Theorem

The video tutorial explains how to solve a geometry problem involving a right triangle. Stanley walks 200 meters east and 160 meters south, forming a right triangle. The task is to find the length of the hypotenuse using Pythagoras' theorem. The process involves visualizing the problem with a diagram, applying the theorem, and calculating the hypotenuse. The final answer is rounded to three significant figures. The tutorial also discusses the marking scheme for the problem, emphasizing the importance of understanding the application of Pythagoras' theorem.
