This video focuses on how to convert angles to distances by using trigonometric functions. The presenter begins in a park measuring the sides and angles of the cardboard skyscrapers that were built by a group of people. With discussions about corresponding sides and angles, a conclusion is drawn that larger angles have larger corresponding sides. The presenter explains the Pythagorean Theorem – that the sum of the legs squared is equal to the hypotenuse squared. One example used to explain this concept is the height of a window on a house.
