Pythagorean Theorem and Exponents

The video tutorial explains the application of the Pythagorean theorem in rectangles. It begins with an introduction to the theorem and its relevance to rectangles and squares. The tutorial provides four examples, demonstrating how to calculate the diagonal of a rectangle and find missing side lengths using the theorem. Each example involves different dimensions and scenarios, including cases where the diagonal is given, and a leg is missing. The video concludes by summarizing the key points and encouraging viewers to apply the theorem to solve similar problems.
