Creating Right Triangles on a Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial teaches how to create right triangles on a coordinate plane using diagonal line segments. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a review of right triangle properties and the Pythagorean theorem. The video addresses common misunderstandings about measuring distances on a grid and provides a step-by-step guide to constructing right triangles using diagonal line segments. An example is provided to reinforce the learning, and the lesson concludes with a summary of the key points.
