Triangles: Similar Right Triangles, Geometric Mean

This video is a demonstration of how to find the lengths of sides of a right triangle using (1) the Pythagorean Theorem, and (2) Geometric Means.

[@krishnannarayanan8819]

This helped so much! The neat handwriting, slow demonstration and explanation helped a lot. I study ahead often. Again, Thanks!

[@timaalasaadi1050]

Your handwriting is so beautiful omg

[@FerranteMath]

thank you Fatima :)

[@renewd]

Great voice, penmanship, teaching style, and teaching style. I will watch some of your other videos.

[@FantageCupid]

i usually hate watching math videos for school, but this one was oddly soothing and helpful

[@marthapeeler2856]

You are saving my sanity! I haven't done Geometry since 1985! This crazy school year has me helping my 9th grader. THANK YOU! If you get tired of teaching math, you could teach handwriting; there's an entire generation who missed out on that skill thanks to the crazy push for more standardized testing. :)

[@FerranteMath]

What an awesome compliment Martha! I really appreciate it . . . and I'm with you 100% about the standardized testing. Not a great way to measure analytic or creative thinking.

[@evalynnhammer1806]

Yes, simple and straight to the point. I wish you were my math teacher 🥺

[@FerranteMath]

Thank you EvaLynn, I appreciate your compliment. Glad the video helped.

[@YTHandle660]

Thanks man this really helped me understand after 2 days of struggling!

[@sanyuyi]

The handwriting, the voice, the pace ! You were a great math teacher for sure!

[@FerranteMath]

Thank you 😊

Thank you Francia. Glad my video was helpful to you!

Hey bro! How about 6 and 8 is missing and you need to find it. What I need to do?

Thanks Lorenzo. Let me know if you need any other topics covered.

[@gsayorayt6863]

was very helpful since i have a math exam comng up on monday...and havent studied anything but this video helped me a lot to learn especially because i am studying in portugal and i dont know portugese cuz im new, anyways thank you for this! appreciate a lot!

[@FerranteMath]

thank you Gsayora! Makes me happy to hear that… Good luck on your test

[@vipulakularathne3664]

Vary nice exercise and geobeautiful explained for all to understand. And no any tube teaches done this type of clear explanation. Thank you sir....❤ From which country are u sir...??

[@railene9335]

Note* Your spelling of pythagorean is wrong,no offense. I still loved the video and how you make it so clear> Subbed and Liked!

[@FerranteMath]

oops! thanks ... sometimes I can't write and speak at the same time :)

[@night1263]

i don’t understand for the fractions can i choose any numbers from the triangles like for example when u were trying to find “b” u chose 14/b and b/6… is that a rule or i can just choose any number

[@FerranteMath]

Good question. You cannot choose any number. You need to find numbers that are in the same place on each triangle for the fraction.

[@vipulakularathne3664]

Sir please can you make series for integration.... calculus please ....

[@saiaasritathatraju4756]

This video helped me so much!! thank you

[@neon0622]

Hi your video helped me alott. Thank you so much the way you teach is incredible i never felt so intrested in learning till today. I had a question. When you were writing a similarity statement, why was it ABC similar to BDC And not DCB or CBD or CDB. Same goes for another Thats the only thing i need i am confused i know its been 9 years since you uploaded the video but i am hoping fora reply. ❤

[@FerranteMath]

Hi neon, yep, I'm still alive and answering questions when I can :) To answer your very good question ... it's not too complicated. Notice when I labeled the largest triangle, I started at the "top" of the short leg (A) and then moved toward the right angle (B) and finished at C. When naming the other two triangles, follow the same pattern. Start at the top of the short leg (B) and move directly to the right angle (D) and end at C. By following that pattern, all your angles are in a similar place or corresponding place in each triangles. I hope that explanation was helpful!

[@neon0622]

@@FerranteMath oh i get it so the pattern is to start at the top let and the move to right angle and then after the long leg?

[@neon0622]

Thank you so much i really had hard time understanding this lesson with your help i could lear it clearly :)

thank you

Good job, very clear, would have been nice to keep the problem on the screen but still good job. Thanks.

Wow..amazing..thank you

[@batyakatayev5229]

very helpful thank you!!!

[@FerranteMath]

You're welcome Batya!

[@CaitKat]

So for ABC ~ BCD, does that make 14 and 8 the projections of side a?

[@FerranteMath]

Yes. Be careful in naming your triangles.Follow the same direction for both, for example triangle ABC is congruent to triangle BDC (follow the direction you are tracing in the triangles).

[@CaitKat]

@@FerranteMath thank you so much! My geometry textbook explained this concept so poorly, yours was way more intuitive !!
