Omg! I seriously want you to be my math teacher!!!! Thank you so much!!

[theluigifan1]

oh never mind thank u.

[theluigifan1]

my 7th grade teacher didn't teach me shit so this is why i go to YOUTUBE for help.

[iRoNiiKGaMiiNg]

why do teachers teach so retarded, i lernt this in 9 mins, where as in school i still ddnt get it after 4 lessoons

[baydood510]

i don't worry about missing class because of you!

[aaronx96]

thank u thank u thank u for making this easier

[pie75101]

Thanks for the help!

[uut0]

[mikej941126]

7 people bought ladders from wal-mart containing writings of chinese.

[rockstarofbikes127]

thanks really helped me get my homework done

[Axel4131]

Thanks man these videos really helped me

[ImfakinLoco]

thnx bro i had tons of HW and u helped alot thnx agn ^ ^

[darniforgotify]

Hey thanks for the vid! Helped me tons!!!

[RockSmasherNatural]

This isn't an absurd video trying to sing a song about how this theorem works, and at that they typically just confuse the viewers. (Even though their goal is to try to entertain them while learning...)

Thumbs up to you, my good sir. Some people really need to look in the lime-light and just watch this.

[ARPlaying]

i love you, no homo... but i just love you...

[insanechickens]

you could just read the box for the length of the ladder :)

[patrickJMT]

@insanechickens it was bought from wal-mart so the writing is in chinese.

[cheeseboy9103]

lol fail drawling hehe

[patrickJMT]

@cheeseboy9103 lol fail spelling hehe

[aviator2k9]

My teacher thought me this today and I forgot BUT YOU HELPED ME LOADS XD thank you ^ ^

[showguns]

The tail end was good man! Thanks

[misscarol1203]

Patrick, i purchased a tutorial vid. Will I be able to also download it to my data card or will I only be able to view it online?

thx, Carol :)

[patrickJMT]

@misscarol1203 you can download it and take it for offline use!

[msstephany96]

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[catman1cheese]

nice vids patrick

[MrRCGaming]

is the numbers 2 and 3 on the trangle = 6.5

[24nick42]

Good explain.......i like it.....

[TheCarlos1365]

thank you my teacher is terrible i watched your other vids easy to understand thnx! ^_^

[worldtalk73]

thanks very much for the video its a big help for me

[patrickJMT]

@worldtalk73 happy to help!

[barry2k]

haha you wised up to it:P Thanks for the video too. nice and easy to understand:D

[timothytaneweling]

thx boss

[gypsymoonac]

OMG thank you so much for makeing it really simple for us, much appreciated :)

[xXelmarcoCFCXx]

THEOROM!!!11!1!1

[MOis2BEAST]

use it doing 25.5 2 + h2 = 32 2 what do u get??

[DianaHart]

so, that very last example in your video where a=10 and b=8.....

10^2+8^2=c^2

164=c^2 and the i do the square root thing

is the answer 2sqrt41??

just wondering if i'm on the right track here :-)

[bluelibra65]

i use the pythagorean theorem everyday, in carpentry. -- if you have a large building to square,, you can also use 6 - 8 - 10, -- 12 - 16 - 20 etc.

[patrickJMT]

@bluelibra65 thanks for comment!! it is a very useful formula to know!

[Eddyward21]

I am in the 10th grade and every time I'm not to sure about theorems and what not i watch some of your videos and it clears up some of the questions i still have after class.I wish my teacher would teach as smoothly as you do. thanks for posting your vids :)

[stuntman2600]

the answer for the shorter side on the 2nd example is 5.65 so what he has done has confused me .(9 x9 =81) (7x7=49) (81 -49=32 ) square 32 =5.65

[ElrecGoNyah]

Yay! You totally helped me with my homework! Thanks, Mister! :3 I smile!!

[jade1876]

that you very much i needed this for my homework and to practice for my test.

[bigfig1900]

it really helps when people have neat hand writing:)

[patrickJMT]

@bigfig1900 i normally do not... but i try to be aware of it when making vids!

[xboxbooo]

thnx :]!!!!!

[cutandposthouse]

Very helpful as usual Patrick--thanks. Great story about your Pops.

[dephcon9]

Thanks!

[KolomiMr]

this video is the best way to explain the pythagorean theorem to students. i wished my math teacher could explain like this i love this way. is much easier to understand.

[KolomiMr]

@KolomiMr

[snipeshot2papi]

thank uuuu

[vortex9432]

thanks man, i just needed to review this for a huge test i have tomorrow

[chantyll2]

i think my teacher did teach us off of this video. he used the same exact examples. lol!

[amjPeace]

@chantyll2 I'm planning to teach my students off this video tomorrow LOL

Thank you, Patrick, for the concrete examples to show the practical application of the theorem.

[VelvetWind8]

thank you. I'm in the 6th grade and I want to know a little more about math. This helped me very much. Also, how old are you? You sound like your about 19, is that true?

[ghfghf87]

thx :D

[lachjames]

Thanks for the great work you do on your videos. I, at least, really appreciate it. :D

[patrickJMT]

@lachjames

glad you like them - all the nice comments

are why i keep making them!

[TheHelloEmily]

That was easy... I keep forgetting how 2 do it.

[qwerty00ape1]

thanks man 5/5

aand thank you youtube lolss

im going to subscribe to you cuz you helped me so much!

thanks cyas

thank you :D

[vekaria12345]

SWEAR I LOVE U

in hte uk they use this crap website mymaths no help if its only words

but u make life easy

[MrPchelp21]

man i have an assignment to do abut this

[MD123ism]

instead of C I use H to represent hypontenuse which makes it much easier to understand

[maderic147]

OOHHHH...this EASY!!!!!

[xXxBludNinjaxXx]

ZOMG! i gotta do this cause its on my LEAP test (i live in louisiana :)) anyways its so easy :) so im glad i didnt waste an hour in tutoring so tyvm, definir\tley should be taught to 8th graders :) yes im in 8th grade :) so many smilies :) :) :) :) lol im ready for the test so i can get my a fuckin laptop :) and 100 bucks (my school gives a brand new laptop and 100 bucks to the person w/ the highest scores :):):):):):):):):):):):) lol

[BlueEagle62O]

this is stupidi looked at this video once every year one in 2007 6th grade and once in 2008 7th and now in 2010

8th and I keep forgeting this stuff when I learned it in 6th and 7th grade by watching the same video.I get it now but i will proably forget it

[ItalyScape]

[Anass195]

This is so easy!

[Sparechnge]

@Sparechnge Omg thaaattt was smart ; )

[D1RTBIK3R]

lol

[DefitionOfPain]

Thanks Helped Alot

[s34n777]

omg your in in 8th grade and you can't even spell "know" i'm so impressed! keep on amazing me plz brah ;D

[JBLoverFerEver1996]

Why can't my 7th grade teacheers teach us like this?! This is sooo much easier! Thank youh!

[islamluver1]

@JBLoverFerEver1996 I'm in 7th grade too I hope my teachers would teach me like this.

[oldnewjaani]

u saved my life .. thanks

[1purplemimi]

oooooh. i keep forgetting to square root. i have no idea why i searched this. except that i have to learn it.

[telle121]

tnx

[HIVEBWOLF]

ARRRRRRRGH I dont UNDER STAND ANY OF THESE COMMENTS!!! There all to confusing for me i swear im the dumbest person watching this video

[FTWLuis]

why did u subtract 49 from each side?

[Winderkin2]

Because he is solving for b^2.. kind of like solving for x, he wants to get the B alone

[t4ng0m4n000123]

@FTWLuis if u do somthing to one side u have to do it to the other side.

[fishdude401]

to get what b equals.

[131tonyluv]

thanks i understand the pythagorean theorem just per fect now

[alcolo176]

THANKS!!!! a lot.

[7glitch]

i dont get this. i HATE MATH

[HIVEBWOLF]

lol join the club

[carvingmadness]

nice presentation. did not bore me at all. nice to hear that your father cared enough about his son's education enough to challenge you to learn and use in practical real-life applications. Saying that, why would a person need to know the diagonal length of the building footprint? Is there really a practical application or only an exercise in the theorem? thanks again

[pkkda]

By measuring the two diagonals and ensuring that they are equal will ensure that the building is rectangular rather than a parallelogram.

[HIVEBWOLF]

umm... lol can u re type that in english and a lot slower plz lol?

[pkkda]

It is much easier & more accurate to measure the diagonals than it is to measure angles, and therefore by measuring the diagonals and ensuring that they are equal will automatically ensure that the building is square all corners are 90 degrees. A parallelogram does not have equal diagonals nor are any of its angles/corners square.

thank you

[mindfreeeeek]

Dude, your a life saver. Thanks to you I have an uderstanding on our math test next week! Thank you soo much!!! I subscribed favorited and rate 5

[justinbeiberable]

Wow ur awsome I was able study off all the notes u gave me!!!!

[1ownjoo2]

God i fucking hate math... Im going to fail the GED ... uhg

[1ownjoo2]

God i hate when teachers always give the answers and dont show you get them...

How does 4 squared =16 ? Isnt 4x2 8 ? So how did you get 16.. I wish you would explain that

[t4ng0m4n000123]

4 squared is 4 with a little 2 in the corner. how do you get 16? well 4 squared means 4x4 = 16. like take a square finding the area is 4x4 (the square's sides are all 4 and you times lxb=area) the answer is in squared so = 4 sqaured

[1ownjoo2]

Yea i figured it out later in the day. I pretty much mastered this type of math now its really easy once you know how to do it. My brother helped me on the Algebra too. I took the GED practice test yesturday and got i got a total of 500 outa 800 on math, and 560 on writing, 620 science, 680 social studies and 710 on Reading comprehension. So i passed the GED practice OMW to the test on the 10th

[t4ng0m4n000123]

lol im only 13 so im quite ahead :) wats GED?

[1ownjoo2]

Your not really ahead, I did this in middleschool when i was 14. That was like 12 years ago tho so i forgot it all lol.

[bosz29]

Thanks dude. Have an exam tomorrow about the Pythagorean Theorem. This helped me a lot! :)

[threedead]

thank you. i have a HUGE test on this and my teacher wont help

[ozzieruss01]

i think i passd tho lookd up more vids on it :)

[ozzieruss01]

grrrrrr

i got a 2hour exam in 4 hours this dusnt say how to find the adjacent and opposite i learnt then forgot

learn like 2 terms ago :(

[TheMultiReviews]

thanks i have a test tomorrow on this and you explained it very well.

[jerrylei1]

i learned this in 4th grade

[TimiNguyen]

thx for the help^^

*****stars

[xkhadzxq]

hahaaaa!!!

PayThayGorian therum!!! :P

in Uk

Its Pythagoras! Lmaoo

Its good video thou (:

[sbkite]

thats the guy...not the name of the theorum...

btw your spelling is shit

[xkhadzxq]

your face is a pile of shit luv (:

[angiesallweektrends8]

i have a test on this tomarrow thanks this really helped!

[niallswand]

Why are we not funding this channel??!?!

These people are better than most of my teachers in my school!

[peterathwal99]

that last one answered my question on a worksheet thank you bud and thank you u tube!

[12GUNMETAL]

It took me months trying to learn this and now I got it. Thanks you so much.

[zeelelynn]

i learn this in 7nth grade

[angelversesdevil]

really??? i learned it in 8th and we were ahead of any other 8th graders that were still in algebra!!

[brianwurst1234]

doesn't look like you have had any english classes though.

[jacobjaime]

dang im in 9th and im barley learning thanks man!!

[latinizxx]

well i had to watch it a few times but eventually i understood it thanks cuz we had to doo this for summer math homeworkk thanks

[tlester01]

Very helpful... and I loved the picture example!!

[charray123]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all these HELPFUL VIDEOS !

You are actually better than my so called math teacher. -.- Sigh.

[roqfreak97]

Dude thanks you made things more clear for me..

I just got a question what if The problem has to x's how do you do that.?

[PixeLNetworks]

I Dont like math.

Ughh.

[patrickJMT]

i did not like it either til i got into college.

i never disliked it though - it seemed amazing to me, just out of reach : )

[zeelelynn]

same here

[jimbowe36]

I am building steps on a hill side; that last problem you did where you knew the length of the two side; lets say you know the angle of the hill[ bottom of hypotenuse] and the length of

hypotenuse; how would you calculate the lengths of the other two sides. Would you use a tangent function or the pythagorean theorem; next i need to calculate the rise and run of the steps so it would help to know the length of the two other sides of the triangle.

to solve # of steps.

[22FC22]

fuck better then my teacher :P !!

[alichings]

thank u nice.... video i learned alot..

[addictedt2you]

Ahh i love you for helping me with this!, ive got my gcse exam today this is very helpful thanks! :D xx

[AspireE360]

Does this only work on right angled triangles?

[cracknigga]

yes

[SimmingLemming]

Oh my god I get this now. I really hate pythagorean theorem stilllll.. But it;s better now!! :)

[simplydanno]

wrong the hypotenuse - one of the legs = leg 2 much more easier than the other method ;)

[jujment1]

wow wtf i get it? wow i finaly understand so it wasnt my fault i was failing it was my teacher's fault cant explain for sh1t. thanks dude i relly appreciate this video you made for us :)

[patrickJMT]

when i did bad in a class it was ALWAYS my fault : )

[Stalingrad17]

tnank you very much !!!!

[angelsmellsdeath]

dude you totally rock! i have to take a math compass placement test on tuesday and i was freaking out cause i know this is gonna be on it and i totally didnt get it but thanks to u i got it

[rudigar789]

thank you sooooooooo much

i was having trouble with this in my homework

[NOUR2014]

thank you man i dont know what to say to you

[patrickJMT]

as you already said, 'thank you' works : )

glad to help

[humna84]

thanks,! [=

[aulicett865]

thanks 4 dis video . this really helped me .

[patrickJMT]

u r welcome!

[sk8t3rchic94]

thx a bunch now i understand it

[ricktormos]

Thank You for the example, Very help full.

[elcochodeguerrero]

why did u subtrarct 49 from or why ? on the second example.

[ThingsThatLive]

lol but what's the 3 - 4 - 5 thing again

[EliteSpartan1]

that building/ladder thing are always on my tests involving the P.T. thingy.

[si0mama0mo]

2 sq root of 41... is d answer to the last.. =))

[si0mama0mo]

tnx mhen...

[BuffMaster1337]

I would think that in a Pythagorean Theorem video there would be a proof for the theorem.

i guess that would be just crazy

[patrickJMT]

does this video say ' a proof of the pythagorean theorem' ?

i suppose you will look at my video 'using the quadratic formula' and then complain about how it does not prove it

[exceltraining]

i agree with buffmaster

a theorem is something which has a proof.....

what pythagoras did was to prove a2+b2=c2 for every single right-angled triangle imageinable in the universe

your drawings were just showing individual cases....... that's a theory, not a proven theorem

the actual theorem which pythagoras came up with is actually quite nice and I would say most older teenagers would probably follow it

aaaanyway

theorem = proven

you don't explain the proof

[exceltraining]

just seen some of your integration stuff, so you obviously know your maths

:-)

hope the above wasn't too harsh..... I just remember some lady on the news here talking to the cameras because her 5 yo kid had discovered the 3/4/5 triangle with blocks

the lady was convinced her kid was as clever as pythagoras cos she'd discovered the theorem.....

arrrrgh

it's the proof for every single rh triangle ever imagineable that's the maths beauty here

[xXKYCXx]

omg thanx alot for helping me out u should be my math teacher i totally get what your saying THANX BIG TIME

[junglechickjm14]

wow!!!!this is REALLLLLLY HELPFUL!!!!i have a quiz 2morrow 4 math..no doubt...n it's a good thing i found this......i have a question: will the hypotnuse always be the missing or known side that will always be across from the corner??....lyke where that little box is??...and is the hypotnuse always going to be the longest side??....what if you get an answer greater than the hypotnuse??....

[jaksplitter]

Thanks, it helped

[pausec]

i love this theory

its just so cool

math is crazy

[patrickJMT]

ha, this is just the tip of the iceberg!

[pausec]

well that is for sure

[bhdugg]

thanks man!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ajmasterb12]

this helped alot thanks
