HERE WITH MY FRIEND ROSITA... - !¡¡HOLA!
- TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT A SHAPE THAT WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE.
- THAT'S RIGHT.
- THIS SHAPE IS WONDERFUL.
- YES.
- THIS SHAPE IS IMPORTANT!
- MM-HMM!
- THIS SHAPE IS-- WHAT IS THIS SHAPE AGAIN?
- TRIANGLE.
- A TRIANGLE!
YES.
THE SHAPE IS A TRIANGLE.
BRING ON THE VISUAL AID.
- OK!
- NOW MY FRIEND ROSITA IS GOING TO BRING A TRIANGLE OUT HERE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY A TRIANGLE.
- WHOA!
TA-DA!
- UM...WHAT IS THAT?
- A TRIANGLE.
- DON'T THINK SO.
- I'M PRETTY SURE IT IS!
- NO, NO.
JUST LOOK AT IT.
IT IS ALL LOPSIDED AND WEIRDY-SHAPED.
HOW COULD A LOPSIDED WEIRDY-SHAPED THING BE A TRIANGLE?
PLEASE, ROSITA, GO FIND ANOTHER TRIANGLE.
- OK. - SORRY FOR THE DELAY, BUT IN A FEW SECONDS, YOU WILL SEE A TRIANGLE, AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT A TRIANGLE LOOKS LIKE.
- HERE YOU GO.
A TRIANGLE.
- OHH.
- WHAT?
- THIS IS NOT A TRIANGLE EITHER!
- OH!
I'M ALMOST POSITIVE IT IS.
- NO, NO, ROSITA, YOU ARE CUTE, BUT YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT TRIANGLES.
A TRIANGLE IS SHAPED LIKE THIS.
HERE.
LET ME SHOW YOU.
[SQUEAKING] - WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GROVER?
- DO NOT WORRY.
I LEARNED THIS IN MY YOGA CLASS.
[SQUEAKING] - !¡¡AY, MAMA!
- ENNNN!
AHH!
THERE.
I AM NOW SHAPED LIKE A TRIANGLE.
I HAVE 1, 2, 3, SIDES AND 1, 2, 3, ANGLES.
- BUT, GROVER, SO DO THESE.
LOOK.
THIS ONE HAS 1, 2, 3 SIDES AND 1, 2, 3 ANGLES.
- AND?
- AND ALSO THIS ONE.
LOOK.
1, 2, 3 SIDES... AND 1, 2, 3 ANGLES.
- COULD YOU GET TO THE POINT?
I'M STARTING TO CRAMP UP.
- WELL, THE POINT IS IF A SHAPE HAS 3 SIDES AND 3 ANGLES, IT'S A TRIANGLE, SO THESE ARE TRIANGLES.
- WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?
TRIANGLES DO NOT ALL HAVE TO LOOK THE SAME.
- UH-UH.
- I GUESS YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY.
THANK YOU, ROSITA.
- OH, YOU'RE WELCOME.
- YEAH.
AHH.
NOW TO GET OUT OF THIS SHAPE.
EH, UM, OH, DEAR.
ROSITA, I'M STUCK!
ROSITA, COME BACK!
OH, OH.
OW.
MY ACHING SIDES AND ANGLES.
OHH.
