    I just wanted to thank you so very much for your videos! You are an awesome teacher. I have been watching your videos since math 38, math 96, and now I'm taking trig and stat this semester! You have been the one constant throughout my semesters that I know I can turn to for clarification. Thanks again friend.

  • @patrickjmt
    @patrickjmt  15 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    @amjPeace yes, for a right triangle, it is possible to have two sides of length 3 and 4, and the hypotenuse length 5 since those satisfy the pythagorean theorem:
    3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
    the numbers 3, 4, 5, are sometimes referred to as a 'Pythagorean Triple' because of this. There are others of course! For example:
    5 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2 = 13 ^ 2
    so that 5, 12, 13 are another 'Pythagorean Triple'

    Great explanation of the origins of these special right triangles. I agree with your comment about understanding being more important than memorization. I encourage my students to do the same. Ps...I post your videos from time to time on my website for students to defer to for additional help if they need it on assignments. I've had good feedback from those who take the time to watch them. Thank you very much for the work you put into making these, and for making them easily accessible.

  • @amjPeace
    @amjPeace 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh yes! I remember now! We were taught to recognize when a triangle was a multiple of a 3-4-5.
    For instance 6^2+8^2=10^2.
    And 9^2+12^2=15^2. What a blast from the past!
    And I had completely forgotten about 5-12-13 triangles.
    Please keep on doing what you're doing, PatrickJMT! I can't thank you enough.
