To figu re the area of th is triangle,

fi rst you have to fi nd the Iength of the sides.

For that we have th i ngs lie the Pythagorean theorem.

Remember?

H ere, we have a right angle triangle. Side AB is 20 cm.

AC is l S cm...

Listen !

We need the length of side BC.

To fi nd that Iength we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

Listen carefu l ly!

Pythagorean theorem: BC2 AB2 + AC2.

That's how you figure it out.

Try another one!

Another one. One more.

Hey!

Who said that? Aki ra?

Why do you have a bloody nose du ring class?

Are you listening?

Listen carefu I ly, you farmer's kids.

What's wrong with farmers?

What is the Pythagorean Theorem ?

You don't understand ?

Mocha's O K.

A bean is a person. And the species is the whole can.

That's enough .

An individual is the chicen and the species is the egg.

If an i nd ividual ch icen transcends a species egg...

That means...

a chicen's experience is renewed i n the fresh ly Iaid egg.

On ly hens can...?

No. To mae an egg you have to have a male and female.

A chicen forgot how to fly. Not an egg.
