Colin Dodds - Pythagorean Theorem (Math Song)

Look at a right triangle With a 90 degree right angle Across from the right angle is the hypotenuse It's no surprise the hypotenuse is the longest side Now how do you find the hypotenuse's length If you know the length of the two other sides? Let's take you back to ol' Ancient Greece Pythagorus is gonna show you why: a squared plus b squared equals c squared Where c is the length of the hypotenuse a squared plus b squared equals c squared Where a and b are the length of the other sides The Pythagorean Theorem Is a delicate calculation To find the hypotenuse take the square root Of the sum of the two other sides' squares...and then compute How do you find the hypotenuse's length If you know the length of the two other sides? Let's take you back to ol' Ancient Greece Pythagorus is gonna show you why: a squared plus b squared equals c squared Where c is the length of the hypotenuse a squared plus b squared equals c squared Where a and b are the length of the other sides ----- Song and video by Colin Dodds
