3D Pythagoras

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

  1. understand the concept of 3D Pythagoras’ theorem and its applications;
  2. apply 3D Pythagoras’ theorem to find lengths and distances in three-dimensional spaces;
  3. solve real-world problems involving 3D Pythagoras.

Curriculum Alignment: Key Stage 4 Mathematics: Geometry and measures

  • Apply Pythagoras’ Theorem and trigonometric ratios to find angles and lengths in right-angled triangles {and, where possible, general triangles} in 2 {and 3} dimensional figures
