Find the correct Pythagoras equation from a labelled image
This math skill teaches how to identify and calculate the lengths of the sides of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem. It involves identifying the hypotenuse, forming the equation for these sides, and applying algebraic operations to solve for side lengths.

Find the equation for the length of each side based on Pythagoras
🎙️
First let's identify the hypotenuse. It's opposite the right angle, so 'P' squared equals 'D' squared plus 'Y' squared
🎙️
Taking the square root of both sides, 'P' equals the root of 'D' squared plus 'Y' squared
🎙️
For the other sides, we need to subtract from the square of the hypotenuse
🎙️
And again, taking the root of both sides of the equation will give us the length of a leg side
