1. What is the pitagoream theorem? 2. Why is it said to be exclusive? 3. What is a hypothenuse? 4. What is the name of the other sides of a rectangle triangle? 5. What steps he uses to solve the problem on the video?

This video will be an explanation about the pitagoream theorem, five words that i might listen **TO** in the video are: hypothenuse, square, square root, adjacent side or opposite side.

1. the pitagorean theorem is one of the most popular and used theorem**S** because **IT** is easy to remember, however the important thing is how to use it __in__ **AND??** the way it is used. The theorem **E**stablish**ES** the following: Leg^2 + Leg^2 " = Hyp**O**thenuse ^2 2. It's exclusive because it applies only to right triangles, this is: The results are true only for right triangles. 3. A hypothenuse is the side of a right triangle that is opposite to the right angle. 4. The other sides are known as "legs", __the__ are sides that represents and support the righ angle. **EACH side has a specific name...** 5. He took the legs of the triangle (4 and 3), found the square of either one (16 and 9 respectively), and __them__ T**HEN** he solved a simple __adition__ **(spelling is incorrect)** of side squares, this last is equal to hypothenuse square. In order to find the value of the __hypoytenuse__ he __took__ **calculated** the square root of both sides of the equality (25 = C^2) and he finally found that the __hypouthenuse__ is equal to 5.
