** Video 1: "Geometry Tips : What Is the Pythagorean Theorem? " **
I. Before you watch the video answer the following questions. Read the title of the video

What do you think this video will be about? I think, that it's about an explanation of the pythagorean theroem and __it's explain__ it will deal with?? how to find a missing measurement of one right triangle.

Mention five words you think you might listen to in the video. Triangle, Hypothenuse, Square, Plus, Formula Good II. Now click on the following link and watch the video. While and after watching, please answer the following questions: []

1. What is the pitagoream theorem? This theorem __it's__ is about right triangles and how to find a missing measurement of any side of the triangle in function of the other two sides. It's has a formula that says "a²=b²+c²", in words it means "the hypothenuse square __it's__ is equal to the adittion of the two legs of the triangle, and the both legs need to be legs squares"

2. Why is it said to be exclusive? It says that this theorem only works on rights triangles, because the only way to know w H ich side __it's__ is the hypotenuse it's in a triangle that has a 90º angle, so the opposite side of the right angle will be the hypotenuse.

3. What is a hypothenuse? It's the longest side of the right triangle, and it's opposite to the 90º angle of the triangle.

4. What is the name of the other sides of a rectangle triangle? Legs! or catheti... and each one has a specific name 5. What steps he uses to solve the problem on the video? He start s by giving a number that represents a measurement on both legs, then he puts in the value of the legs on the formula, and he solves the ecuation. Finally he gets the measure of the hypothenuse. Great work Updated August 12th 2009
