    In this video, we use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the diagonal of a rectangular room. The dimensions of the room are given in feet, but we want to give our answer in feet and inches. So, in the final step we must convert the decimal part of the answer from feet to inches. The exercises are taken from MyMathLab, and the textbook used is Mathematical Ideas by Miller, Heeren, and Hornsby.

    one thing i really enjoyed is how clear and in depth you were in the video and in solving the problem, and it wasnt super fast paced which is always a plus.

    One thing I liked about this video is how in depth you went without making it too difficult to understand, going too quickly, etc. Watching this video really helped to solidify my understanding a lot. Usually, I struggle with remembering many different formulas/the many different ways to solve one kind of problem, so this video helped give me a refresher and also made the formula very easy to remember. Thanks! :)

    One thing that I could understand very clearly is how the video explains how to solve the problem, and step by step, it makes it easier to learn more. This video is very helpful in understanding the topic.

    It is truly a remarkable way of explaining how to solve this problem. For some of us, it's not easy to remember how to solve these problems and process the information like others do, but you do explain it pretty well and it will help us remember and be ready for the tests to come. Thank you for helping us.

    I learned from this video, how to calculate a square root. One take- away from this video is to find the 3rd missing side from a^+b^=c^. The video helped me understand converting the decimal to round off to get a whole number. One thing I liked about this video is how detailed it was and showing step-by-step how to solve and find the diagonal of a rectangular room in feet and inches.

    The video helped me understand that to find the diagonal of a rectangular room all I have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). I also learned that to find inches I have to multiply the decimal by 12 inches / 1 foot.

    The thing i liked about this video is how clear you explained the steps to solve question. It also helped me remember how to properly use the pythagorean theorem, given that i learnt it a long time ago and don't fully recall all the steps.

    What this video really help me to unnderstand was how to find the length of the diagonal of the a rentenchale. One take away from this is how they explain step by step how the using the a^+b^+c^
    To find the feet and inch of the rentencale.

    How can we find the diagonal if the is one.

  • @TanyaRadic
    @TanyaRadic 2 роки тому

    Then how do you get the reverse sq feet on the calculator. Like which buttons do you push?

    • @MzMath
      @MzMath  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the question. The opposite of “squaring” a number is finding its “square root”. Most calculators have a squaring button which looks like x raised to the power of 2., and you’ll see the square root symbol above it. Then, to take the square root, you push the “2nd” button followed by the squaring button.

    Having to find the feet and Inches seemed difficult until you explained it. The formula a2 + b2 = c2 is a very simple method once you broke it down. Thank you.

  • @handicappedtrucker

    I am calculating round steel pipe for fencing, is this method used for that or is a different math equation used when the material is a pipe. 2 1/2 OD outside piping and 1 5/8 OD internal piping to create a rectangular square with the smaller pipe welded to form an X brace. I am building a gate for my client, just to help you imagine what I am asking. Thank you in advance for your help. IRL issue looking for help.

    • @MzMath
      @MzMath  3 роки тому

      Interesting! Yes, the relationship is still the Pythagorean theorem although you will have to adjust for the thickness of the pipe and the way the pipes are welded, whether tapered at 35 degree cuts or fitted bluntly at a 90 degree angle. Good luck with your project and happy holidays!

    I took away from this video how to find the length of a rectangle. The calculation is the easier part but remembering the dimensions is usually what I forget. Finding feet and inches does not seem so difficult when you explain it.

    • @MzMath
      @MzMath  Рік тому +1

      The length of a diagonal of a 26 by 18 rectangle is the square root of 26^2+18^2 which is the square root of 1000 which is 31.62 (approximately)
