Pythagoras Theorem

pythagoras theorem
Description

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

  1. understand the Pythagorean Theorem and its significance in right-angled triangles;
  2. apply the theorem to calculate unknown side lengths in right-angled triangles;
  3. solve real-world problems involving distances, measurements, and applications of the Pythagorean Theorem.

Key Stage 4: Geometry and measures

  • apply angle facts, triangle congruence, similarity and properties of quadrilaterals to derive results about angles and sides, including Pythagoras’ Theorem, and use known results to obtain simple proofs
  • use Pythagoras’ Theorem and trigonometric ratios in similar triangles to solve problems involving right-angled triangles
