1.What is the Pithagorean Theorem? It's a right triangle exclusive. 2. Why is it said to be exclusive? It´s a theorem that applies only to right triangles. 3. What is a hypothenuse? It's the side tha'ts facing the right angle. 4. What is the name of the other sides of a rectangle triangle? They are no natural legs. 5. What steps he uses to solve the problem on the video? He says if you want to know what C is and you are given that a is 3, b is 4, now what you use is numbers back in the Pithagorean Theorem so 3 square + 4 square = c square, is 9+16 = c square, and that is 25 = c square, now using algebra, take the square of both sides and c = 5, and that's the missing hypothenuse.
