Learn the Pythagorean Theorem with Colin Dodds' Fun 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
